NWB Next Whiskey Bar Lisle — Restaurant in Lisle

Came here because of the good hype. Food was WAY below average. We ordered the SW chicken eggrolls and they were stone cold in the middle. We ran out of water, asked for more but never got any. Had to constantly remind her of other things that she forgot to give us. I ordered a sandwich that was ordered in a certain way religious restrictions. The waitress forgot who ordered what and then argued with my friend about it. This restaurant and especially our waitress had no regard for the religious restrictions that I had. She got extremely defensive when I asked her to recheck the sandwich and to me, she did not want to do anything about it. To me, she had no consideration for people of other faiths. The waitress returned several minutes later with the same sandwich saying she “checked” it and it was prepared correctly. I personally think she did it in an unsanitary way. We barely saw the waitress the rest of the time. We had to ask the hostess for the check. As we left the hostess apologized for the delay in service but then said something about how they needed to know when we would leave because of a time limit? We were never told about a time limit and WE were the ones trying to leave but being ignored. This will be a place I will never return to because when you have no consideration for the other person's life situations, that tells me that this place is extremely ignorant and not tolerant.

Also, we were celebrating my friend's birthday and this experience also straight out ruined it as well. They didn't even do anything special for her and they knew it was...

My first time at NWB. Food was great. Wanted to impress a lady friend. I think they have some sort of sewage problem. At the door when you walk in it smells. A fly kept bothering me (asked for a flyswatter none available). Lady friend asked for a whiskey cube in her whiskey drink. I figured Id have the same in my 4 roses whiskey. Lady friend had to explain what a whiskey cube was to the waitress. Check came, my lady friend looked at the check and saw a 50 cent charge per whiskey cube (oh boy). When questioned waitress replied you been here before. NO first time. I'll ask the manager. Lady friend spoke to the manager. Seems there is a special tray for ice. (yea I know silicone trays on Amazon). They gave us a dollar after my lady friend said she wasn't paying for the whiskey cube. What I wanted to do was rip the dollar in half and leave it on the table the "Big Shot that I am". Said nothing all thru this ordeal thus this post. I paid the check tipped the waitress well and got out of NWB (cut your losses type of thing AND don't like to be nickeled and dimed) So much for impressing my lady friend (btw she insisted she wanted that $1) Kinda sounds like almost a scam. How many people really check their bill.??? Do you think they charge for toothpicks.??? If I try a NWB again it will probably be the one in Plainfield. So much for impressing my lady friend. Maybe its me. The place was crowded by the time we left. As for me I'll...

This place was absolutely incredible. I came here for a holiday party with my company and we had the entire place rented out for the evening. The food, the drinks, and the service all deserve 5 stars.

I started with the cheese curds, then got the buffalo Mac and cheese and the El toro burger. The cheese curds were some of the best I've ever had. The Mac and cheese sauce was made from scratch. The El Toro burger was huge with pork belly and pickled habaneros on it, but it wasn't too spicy, just perfect.

For drinks they can infuse smoke from different woods like cherry, mesquite, hickory, and others in to the liquor. I got cherry smoked Buffalo Trace whiskey and it was one of the greatest things I've ever tasted in my life. Their selection is impressively large and the staff are all very knowledgeable in suggestions and tasting points of all the whiskey's and Bourbons. I also got this Double Blazed Orange beer that tasted like a hoppy orange creamsicle and was recommended to me by one of the servers. It sounds crazy but it was very good and 9% so be careful how quickly you consume those.

If you are a fan of whiskey or bourbon or even just curious, you need to absolutely come try this place. Be ready to spend some money for two people but I gaurantee you will not be disappointed. I will be coming back here...
