The Whig

Wow, what a great dive bar! Right across the street from the Capital tucked in a basement. The lighting reminded me of the haunted house in Disney, lol. I'm trying to eat vegan and they had an amazing Black Eyed Pea burger. It's a nice option from all the fake meat Beyond and Impossible. They even offered fresh veggies as a side option which were surprisingly good. House wines were also great and there was a large selection of craft brew, not to mention reasonable prices. Truly an unexpected find! Tried going back in October of a Friday night and just too crowded. Wish they would either take names or reserve tables for people that would want to eat. Kinda hard doing it standing up. Not going to downgrade or take off a star just some feedback.

A real dark and cozy place. It felt like the atmosphere of a 1940's speak easy, updated to our time but no bands were a playing. Great place for a couple or a very small group to socialize and drink. Oh and a vegetarian option of burgers that suited my palate! Overall, I wish it was a lot bigger to house a larger crowd and a band.

Food is extremely good. It is all bar food not lots of options. The Whig tends to be older crowd.

So I had saw reviews on this place. And decided to go there for my bday. When we walked it. Didnt know what to expect. It was self seating. After about 5 min or so. A waiter came over. Told us when we were ready to order to come to the bar. I guess she could tell we were first timers there. They have a big variety of drinks
.just not non alcoholic.. the menu was basic. Mostly sandwiches. We talked about it for a little while and decided to stay and order since we were already there. But I must say... their sandwiches were good. And the fries . Well seasoned. They were delicious. I cant say I would go back. I am not a big burger person. But it was good.

Great bar downtown with some really good food! Had a good selection of beers and the Chicken sandwich was soooo good. Atmosphere was nice but was dark there if that's not your thing.
