On the Grid : McCormack's Whisky Grill

"Likely the largest collection of whisky in the city (aside from the Virginia ABC), McCormack's offers a serious library of whiskys, bourbons, and ryes along with, thank goodness, a knowledgeable staff to guide you through the process of tasting them. The tiny, wood-lined spot is towards the western end of the Fan on a street that gets fairly busy during drinking hours. But their southern comfort food (with late night and vegetarian-friendly menu) and, of course, highly specialized selection of whisky set them apart." - Mobelux

If you’re truly a whiskey lover, this is the place to go. Plenty of folks do wine bars and tastings, but this spot is for real spirits. If you want to explore exotic bourbons, whiskeys, or scotches, you can absolutely do it here. One standout bartender is Nick. If you get him, you’re in great hands. He knows the spirit list inside and out, and even if you’re new to whiskey, he’ll walk you through it without any attitude. He’s attentive, sharp, and extremely professional. And it doesn’t stop at the bar. This isn’t just a whiskey lounge. It’s a full-on restaurant, and the food is legitimately impressive. Every bite holds up to every sip. The atmosphere is the cherry on top. It has that classic gentleman’s bar vibe. No smoking, but it still feels like that kind of place. It’s perfect for bringing your guys or your ladies for a great night out. Five-star experience every time.

In 2017, Mac hosted roughly 15 girls and I for a BRIDAL SHOWER and didn't flinch. The food? Top tier. The service? Unbelievably attentive. To this DAY, my man has me covered, Jameson, fries, and a bowl of brisket. I love this man. If he asked me for a favor I would tell him yes. No notes, only the best damn vibes EVER.

If you enjoy whiskey and good food, then you can go wrong here. I happened to take a chance on McCormack's and was pleasantly surprised at the vast whiskey collection, great service and good food. While the price is above average it is worth it and I would suggest going during happy hour.

Been here twice and unfortunately don’t have many great things to say about it. The food was pretty consistently bad. The fried chicken sandwich breading tasted burnt but the nashville hot sauce on it was flavorless; the artichoke dip was oversalted, and the mac and cheese just was not good especially for the price. Drinks were mediocre at best, which is disappointing for a place that bills itself as a premium liquor bar. The service was fine the first time I went, but unfortunately slow the second time. They were also a bit snobby about the type of whiskey they recommended for a whiskey sour (which by the way was made without egg white.) There’s a way to make premium recommendations tactfully, but I think their servers miss the mark there. What tipped me from “I just won’t eat here again” to “I would not recommend others eat here” is that their management has been pretty rude to the nearby neighbors on several occasions. It’s really unfortunate when a small business goes out of their way to alienate the folks in their own neighborhood. Good news is there’s plenty of other restaurants nearby that are much better across the board.

We’ve visited McCormack’s Big Whisky Grill but this was our first time at the smaller more intimate location. Nick, the bartender, was absolutely wonderful and provided us with great recommendations. They accommodated my allergy and still provided a wonderful meal. The duck was absolutely to die for and I highly recommend trying it. We look forward to returning.

Great place. Unassuming and very personable. Phenomenal selection and Nick is a great host. While you’re there, pick his brain, he is a great resource on the history of whiskey and bourbon. Try the Brussels sprouts, fabulous. And the dates wrapped in bacon.

Loved this dinner. Celebrating an achievement, dined with friends and family. Fantastic whiskey selections, particularly enjoyed the peated scotches. Steak was excellent, service attentive. Terrific spot, really glad we were brought there.
