Whoopsie's

"Now with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, this unpretentious bar and lounge on Moreland is backed by two restaurant industry veterans. Low-lit and at just 40 seats, barman Tim Faulkner and his team can make you any cocktail you want, even those that are a bit more obscure or harder to find at other bars around town. Pair an amaretto sour, Tuxedo, Corn n’ Oil, or any number of classic cocktails from Faulkner with delectable roast beef sandwiches topped with horsey sauce, a prime rib platter, or Southern snack tray filled with deviled eggs, pickled vegetables, and pimento cheese from chef and owner Hudson Rouse. Plenty of zero-proof drinks are also available. All you have to do is ask." - Beth McKibben, Henna Bakshi

"Here’s an insider’s secret. If you simply glance over the menu here, you won’t find any mocktails. But according to co-owner and bartender Tim Faulkner, zero-proof drinks are always available. While there are several options, Faulkner is particularly proud of Whoopsie’s non-alcoholic French 75 — an impressive feat if you’re familiar with the cocktail’s boozy contents (gin, champagne, lemon juice, and simple syrup). Here, he swaps in Leitz Eins Zwei Zero sparkling rosé, which removes the alcohol after fermentation, and Winestillery’s Hyper Low Gin. The zero-proof gin is distilled and used as a concentrate in non-alcoholic beverages, just like the French 75." - Laura Scholz, Molly Harris

"Low lit and at just 40 seats, this unpretentious cocktail lounge from barman Tim Faulkner (Octopus Bar) and chef Hudson Rouse is a double whammy of righteous food and righteous drinks under one roof. Open Thursday through Monday at One Moreland, pair an amaretto sour, Tuxedo, Corn n’ Oil, or any number of classic cocktails from Faulkner with delectable roast beef sandwiches topped with horsey sauce, a prime rib platter, or Southern snack tray filled with deviled eggs, pickled vegetables, and pimento cheese from Rouse. Order a square of Tarzan’s Delight for dessert — Rouse’s take on his grandmother’s chocolate mousse ice box pie." - Molly Harris, Eater Staff

"This old-school Reynoldstown bar and restaurant is small and fills up fast with neighborhood locals, so getting here early to beat the crowds is a good idea. But even if you have to wait on a table, there’s a full bar with a rotating cocktail menu (we still dream about their gin and absinthe concoction) to help pass the time. If prime rib is on the menu, get it, it's so thick we thought there were two slabs on top of each other. But even other dishes like their moist chicken thighs or porchetta are great reasons to put Whoopie's in your rotation for a laid-back date. " - juli horsford, nina reeder, jacinta howard

"Low lit and at just 40 seats, Whoopsie’s is intimate and unfussy, and built for an evening of convivial conversation while indulging in amaretto sours and top-notch food, including prime rib dinners, a crazy delicious roast beef sandwich, and poached sea bass. But do not skip ordering the Southern snack tray, complete with deviled eggs, house-made chow chow, pickled vegetables, and a generous portion of tangy pimento cheese accompanied by toasted bread." - Beth McKibben
