Big Whiskey's American Restaurant & Bar
225 E Markham St, Little Rock, AR 72201
Small town, MIddle America is where the legend of Big Whiskey's began. Throughout those 30 years this little corner tavern acquired quite a few regulars, but one of those regulars became a legend. My grandfather said this man wasn't the average customer. He only came in a couple times a week and it was always between the hours of 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. He had done it for so many years it became tradition.The same thing each time...he'd come in, have a seat and proceed with his order. He would always tell the bartender, "I'm only going to have one, so make it a big one." Over the years of him coming in to my grandfather's place and performing his ritual, he eventually became known as "Big Whiskey." As my grandfather tells it, Big Whiskey was the kind of man who always had the right thing to say at the right time, whether it was a joke, story, or toast. Everyone knew if he was sitting at the bar, it was going to be a good night.Small town, MIddle America is where the legend of Big Whiskey's began.

Provided by YPmobileThey are extremely rude people. They will not serve you until they're done playing on Facebook and will kick you out if they don't like your unsatisfied opinion. THE ABSOLUTE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MANAGEMENT

Provided by YP.comThe staff was very unfriendly. A couple members of staff sat outside on the deck and talked crap about me the whole time I was sitting out there enjoying a drink. The staff including the cooks and bartenders were very antagonistic towards me for no reason that I could think of. I do not recommend this bar to anyone.
