Reviews


This restaurant has received mixed reviews from customers. While some have praised its old-school cocktail flavors, excellent service, and cozy atmosphere, others have mentioned issues with the bartenders and bouncers. The extensive whiskey selection and vintage decor are highlighted as positives, but the limited food menu may disappoint some diners. Overall, it seems like a unique spot with potential for a good night out, but may not be suitable for everyone due to the varying experiences reported, The Wild Rover usually has an average rating of 4.2.
