"Solo diners are frequent regulars at the bar at Whoopsie’s, especially folks in the restaurant industry seeking a good meal and a cocktail post-shift or on their days off. This unpretentious cocktail lounge from barman Tim Faulkner (Octopus Bar) and chef Hudson Rouse features a tight list of classic cocktails and fun and funky wines. And folks who’ve eaten at Rouse’s Avondale Estates restaurant Rising Son won’t be surprised to find the food at Whoopsie’s punches far above its weight for a cocktail bar. (Think juicy porchetta sandwiches, platters of prime rib and pommes aligot, seasonal salads, and a snack tray of pickled vegetables, house-made chow chow and pimento cheese, and toasted sourdough points.) Low lit and at just 40 seats, Whoopsie’s is intimate and unfussy and built for an evening of convivial conversation with friends or dining solo at the bar while indulging in an amaretto sour and top-notch food." - Eater Staff
