Whiskey River Ankeny

The service was incredibly quick and reliable. We had our main servers but others were kind to check on us as well. The vibe of the place is amazing, the music ranges from country to hip hop to pop and satisfies all listeners. We tried the pulled pork sandwich and the patty melt, both very savory and bursting with flavor. We also had the pepper jack cheese balls which had the perfect kick of spice! Amazing place to dine in or grab a drink!

I was here for a wedding, we stopped in had a few drinks. I was very impressed with the attention we were given, as the evening passed there was several minutes it seemed 1 end of the bar lacked service ( where I was ) bar keep finally came down realized I was un happy,started to correct the issue. And went to get manager who corrected everything quickly. They have enough staff on hand early to handle the rush and everyone was attentive. Will definitely come back!! 1 of our group had late night food which was very good! A+

Paul and Stacey were amazing! Overall, the entire staff. The atmosphere was a homer run!

I had an amazing experience here. Dean, the bouncer, was very kind and welcoming as she did a great job checking our id’s. The place is clean and the employees are nice and fast at serving.

Great food, and drinks excellent service and all the bartenders and waitresses are awesome. Sophia, Morgan, Huff, Michael, and Emily have always given me awesome service. Highly recommend

Best bar in Iowa, I hate to say it but it has come my regular spot every weekend. Love the atmosphere and the amazing bar service. Definitely a good time, check it out and ask for a hurricane shot 😉

Came here for my 21st birthday. Never had a sip of alcohol before. Bartender named Tyler created a whole experience for me to see what i would like. Landed on vodka sugar free red bull with peach schnapps. Loved it. Had 9 of them. Offered to give me a ride home.

Gavin, Gracie, and Alyssa are great. Service is always great and they are always on top of our table and keeping drinks fresh. They are one of the reasons we always come back.

There was this awesome bartender Paul. He was charismatic, funny and attractive. Made us great drinks and had good conversations. He also was able to do a bit of flare while bartending which was fun to watch

Been hearing great things about this bar. Met a great bartender here by the name of Grace! She’s very friendly, professional and knows how to run the bar. Thank you for making my night.

This is an awesome establishment! I come here often. They have great food, good happy hour deals, the NFL Sunday Ticket, and the staff are really nice and personalable!

It’s always a good time at Whiskey! Stef always has the NFL games on for us when we arrive & they have a great wing special Sunday evenings! Sundays are for the boys!

Randi took great care of us and the food and drinks were spectacular. Highly recommend and be sure to request Randi as your server.. tip her in cash..

Edited: the place is great now, but be weary in the summer upstairs lol

I was served a blue moon in a mold cup. When I went to the bar to address it, they said it was a pong cup and looked at me funny for drinking it…she then served me another one and tried to make me pay $7+ for it. If you’re ever served a beer in a solo cup, tell them no!

10/10 service from the bartender named Tyler. My car died when I was waiting for my food and Tyler offered to buy me a NEW CAR!! I will forever be grateful for Tyler. Thank you so, so much.

The people and atmosphere here is really good and the food is delicious! Overall a really great experience and I would definitely recommend coming here for a good time!

Had a wonderful experience with both Gale and Noah as servers. Great people and a great environment. They both greeted us with hospitality and warm conversation. They definitely made a lasting experience and we will be coming back again!

Great place, the GM Emily is great and so are the servers especially Sophia, token, Erica, Paul, Mikel Alyssa, Steph, Michael

Nikki Miller was an angel and gave me excellent service!! 10/10 will be coming back. Atmosphere and Music was great as well!!

Great service, our waitress was the bomb!
