Review Title: Whiskey Wednesday at The Depot by Four Brothers — Strong Potential in a Unique Setting

Full Review: “We visited The Depot by Four Brothers for Whiskey Wednesday ($5 Old Fashioneds & Manhattans). The space has a great speakeasy vibe, about 30 seats inside with outdoor options. We arrived at 5:53 and were seated quickly, but with only one bartender managing a full house, service was overwhelmed. It took 35 minutes for our first drinks, and a vendor even stepped in to help.

It was my first visit so I did not know where i was going or what I was doing. There was no one at the hostess stand and when someone noticed us we were told to sit ”wherever” and I had to go back to get my own menu from the hostess stand. Eventually someone came to get our order (on the deck) but in the beginning we weren't sure if we had to go to the bar to order directly. There was pizza offered from a separate company (we later found out) but we're advised nothing about it. When I pay $15 for one drink, I'm hoping for a little more service and to feel more comfortable in my surroundings. For this reason I only stayed for one drink. There were other patrons, both on the deck and inside having...
