WHISKEY BENT BAR & GRILL — Restaurant in Aiken County

This establishment, a longstanding fixture in Aiken for over two decades, was formerly known as the Cork and Bull. Upon inquiring about local hangout spots from my brother-in-law, who attended college in Aiken, it became one of my preferred destinations as well.

The clientele at this venue varies, with some nights attracting an older crowd, often comprised of bikers, while other nights witness a diverse mix of college students and individuals spanning from their late thirties to sixties. Although the venue can become quite crowded, the patrons are universally cordial and welcoming.

Live music performances and a well-curated jukebox contribute to the vibrant atmosphere. Personally, I find enjoyment in engaging with dart games during my visits. Despite its compact size, the bar boasts ample space for dart enthusiasts, even though the sole pool table is frequently occupied.

Notably, the wings served here are exemplary, and the libations, while generously portioned, strike a balance that ensures their enjoyability. In terms of security and maintaining a comfortable environment, I have witnessed only one altercation, which involved a couple, promptly and effectively managed by the adept bartending staff.

Overall, this establishment's enduring presence in Aiken, coupled with its diverse clientele, entertainment offerings, and satisfying culinary choices, make it a noteworthy and cherished venue for patrons seeking a memorable...

Then, after she stated I'm not serving anyone whose not leaving a tip she would act like me and my friends were wasted when we only brought one drink. And tell us I'm not serving you anymore you are wasted. The water that she poured didn't even have any of us with a little buzz. Your bartenders are very prejudice and it's illegal to demand customers to...

Was encountered by the rudest bar maid ever. She completely ignored me and served some other people who just walked in and when I kindly and courteously said, ‘excuse me I haven’t been served. She clapped her hands at me and said she will get to me when she gets to me. She was rude and for no reason whatsoever. She told me I can leave if I didn’t like it, what was I going to do about it. I didn’t curse her I really kept saying why are you being so rude. there was more dialogue but too much to repeat ! I can say for sure it was a grave injustice and disrespect and I will find out who I can speak with about this incident because if that situation is not addressed I do not see how they could...
