Don’t Go to the Liquor Store: Drink Down Your Liquor Cabinet Instead | Eater

"A Pittsburgh distillery known for a diverse lineup of bottles — from barrel-aged gin to a rye finished in mezcal casks — whose products are treated like souvenirs that trigger memories of trips and family moments. The author describes breaking into these special bottles during quarantine as a way to celebrate at home and reconnect with those experiences, suggesting that such locally made spirits are worth drinking now rather than letting them gather dust." - Missy Frederick

I love Wigle Whiskey in general, but this location is definitely my favorite! I’ve been here several times with friends to enjoy drinks and food, and I’ve also checked out a few of their seasonal pop-up bars the Monster Mash most recently. The atmosphere is fun, the staff is friendly, and the cocktails never disappoint!

A great place to add to your list to stop at while in Pittsburgh! The food is amazing. The staff are top tier. Fun history info is found on the walls as you head to the bathroom. Inside seating area has a window to see where the magic is made. Anytime I find myself in Pittsburgh, I will ALWAYS pop in for some delicious food, buy more merch, and chat with the staff.

So I came here for some whiskey which was awesome. The flights of whiskey were incredible and they have other great spirits like rum and gin. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of my food which was such a great surprise. I had a sandwich called the soprano which was a type of Italian combo. Basically salami and capicola on this Mancini bread. Anyway I will definitely be back there.

Not my first time here but always a good time for drinks, food and to hang out with friends and family. We came in for the distillery tour. Before the tour Max’s bartending and conversation kept us entertained as we waited. We went downstairs to the lower bar. We met with our tour a had a very interesting tour going back in history even involving George Washington. After the tour we sat down for a talk and tasting. Overall a very informative and fun tour.

Great place for food and drinks. Got a few flights and pierogis. Definitely revisiting on a future trip. Strip District definitely offers many places to have a fun time.

I came here with my brother just before the new year. we had a great time and I even bought a whiskey bottle to give to my good friend in Jakarta Indonesia for his birthday as he is a whiskey lover. There is one issue: The whiskey bottle bill was included in the my total bill with a 20% service charge included. Am I wrong to think that the 20% charge shouldn’t be included for the bottle of whiskey I bought? I was tipsy enough I didn’t have the energy to complain or argue. For context, I didn’t get any advice or recs whatsoever on the bottle I bought. Unfortunately, that last moment just left the whole experience unpleasant. However just a day after, the COO contacted me and responded to this issue and solved it. I really really appreciate the fast response and the focus he gives to customer, making sure that all customers are treated well. I highly recommend this place with such a great experience and customer relations. Next time i am in Pittsburgh, I would come back for a whisky tour! Thank you Alex for your great service.

Located in the Strip District, Wigle Whiskey has a bar and restaurant and then offers an amazing tour and tasting experience every Saturday. They take you through their process, from using locally sourced grain to crafting award-winning rye, bourbon, gin, rum, and more. One of the highlights? Learning about Pittsburgh’s Whiskey Rebellion—a wild and pivotal moment in U.S. history. The storytelling makes the experience even more immersive! The tour includes a spirit tasting, and the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Wigle’s craft. Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast or just looking for something unique to do, this tour is 10/10!

We came here on the wrong day for a tour. But the staff was sooooo understanding and accommodating. The history lesson the patience and over experience was incredible. I highly reccommend visiting here. This was also my first taste testing experience me and my guy were highly impressed. And the drinks of course were amazing.

While visiting Pittsburgh, a friend and I scheduled the Wigle Distillery Tour. It started with a welcome cocktail. We got to spend an incredible hour with Gayle learning about Pittsburgh history and the history of Mr. Wigle. To say the tour was amazing would be an understatement. We had 6 people on the tour, but Gayle made each of us feel special. Her passion for Whiskey was on full display. We got to sample 6 different products during the tour (my favorite was the cinnamon whiskey) and afterwards you could have a sample of any other product. You also got 25% off a bottle or anything in the gift shop. We popped to the gift shop and chatted with Olivia who gave us some recommendations before Gayle stopped by to say goodbye one more time. If you are coming through Pittsburgh and are in the Strip District you have to come take the tour. And tell Gayle we say hello :)

Stopped here recently for some drinks and apps. The setup makes for a good spot to stop during the warmer months, with part of the bar being outside. Shawn was our server and was awesome. He kept the bar lively and fun the whole time we were there. The drinks he made us were all fresh and delicious. My wife and I split buffalo chicken dip. It was one of the best I have ever had. It had a different consistency and flavor than traditional buffalo chicken dip, but it was great.

Wigle Whiskey has a new pop up, Stars, Stripes, & Spirits! They had really fun themed cocktails and my favorites were the Rocket Pop and Smashed Strawberry Lemonade. I haven't had a corn dog in forever and was so excited that they have classic food offerings like corn dogs and fried oreos. Our bartenders were super nice and efficient. The only thing I didn't love is that in the distillery side room there's only two AC units that couldn't keep up so they just opened the doors and all the hot air came in and unfortunately I run on the hot side. Hopefully that won't be the case in the future. The grand opening is TODAY (June 27th) and it only runs for three weekends through July 12th so get there while you can!

Wigle is one of my favorite distilleries in the area! When ever im in the area I love to pop in and get a flight to try whats new as well as a cocktail. At this point i think i've tried all of their base spirits and while some may be stronger than others I really do enjoy most of them. As far as cocktails they have things that pair really well and they know how to balance things out. I love that there is a mix of indoor and outdoor seating as well so you can really enjoy a summer cocktail on their patio.

My first time eating at Wigle and since the renovation. A really nice dining area now and the food was really good. The drinks were fantastic - whiskey sour and espresso martini! The cheese curd was delicious with barbecue dipping sauce, which I never would have thought! The eggplant sandwich had a nice spicy kick and the eggplant was grilled tender. I've already been back after taking a cocktail class!

Just great. We went for Father's Day lunch and our meal started with a complimentary mini old fashioned for the dad at our table. I had a Something Sour 75 (delicious--I love their gin) and he had a Rye Old Fashioned. (He liked the complimentary cocktail better.) Good start. We had pretzel sticks (fine, nothing special) and the roasted squash salad, fried zucchini sando, and the cluck around and find out (chicken sandwich) --all filling and well executed--all in all, a nice relaxing lunch. The perfectly lined-up bottles throughout the place will really speak to your sense of order :) and servers and bartender were very friendly. I kind of thought of Wigle as a nice bottle I'd pick up at the package store, but now I'll associate it with a relaxing, interesting taproom and tasty lunch! Will go back for sure.

The events manager at this venue may be the worst in the city. Bad service. Bad management. Bad ownership. Avoid at all costs.

Stopped in for drinks post dinner and had the best time! The vibe when you walk inside (and honestly outside too!) is just adorable and there is so much to see. They offer tours and cocktail classes, which would be a really fun gift for someone! Service was quick and server was knowledgeable about the drinks, explained them perfectly! Will be back!

Wigle Whiskey (pronounced "wih-gul") is a craft distillery located in the Strip District of Pittsburgh, producing small-batch artisan whiskey. Entirely family-owned and operated, Wigle Whiskey is known for its organic "grain-to-glass" process, sourcing ingredients from nearby farms in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and eastern Ohio. The distillery mills and distills grains on-site and serves the finished products at their location. During its startup, the Meyer family collaborated with the Artisan Distilling Program at Michigan State University. Wigle distills all of its whiskey from scratch and conducted a two-year study on regional terroir, producing Rye Whiskey from rye grown in Saskatchewan, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania, discovering distinct flavor differences based on the grain's origin. The food, whiskey, and customer service were the best we experienced during our visit.

I really like it here! I think the appetizers are actually really good, and i LOVE their pop up bars!!!! the drinks are always so fun and delicious. I think for a whiskey distillery, i should love their whiskey, but i actually find it a little bit too sweet. that's pretty much the only reason i wouldn't give it 5 stars... but i definitely could be persuaded. It's a great spot and i come here often! i LOVE their cheese curds and their pierogies

The bartender here was the perfect balance of welcoming, knowledgeable and efficient. Nothing disappointed here and the most amazing milk punch I've ever ever had, tastes like a cremesaver it's CRAZY. Vodka sauce was good too.

Bad service twice in a row... First time I went in and asked for a menu. The bartender pointed to the QRC code, I scanned it, and ordered something. He told me the kitchen is closed on Mondays. I said sorry, I was looking for a meal and a drink, so I'll go elsewhere. He sarcastically said good luck, presumably because many places aren't open on Mondays. Walked across the street and had a nice meal at the diner. Today I went back in and was greeted by a young bartender who didn't make eye contact. I felt like I was taking up his precious time. Two strikes, why bother for a third?

Came in for the pop up bar, Wigle Wonderland, on a Friday night with friends. The first thing we noticed was the smell.. it was so warm inside and it smelled like a dirty gym sock. There was definitely no ventilation and we were all sweating within few minutes. The space is very small and there are a few chairs and a few high tops. Several of us ordered the berry christmas drink and all who did left the glasses more than half full. The drink was awful, but looked so pretty. It was super sweet and unbearably strong. The pros: the bartenders were quick and friendly. Every time you ordered, you closed out. You couldn't keep a tab open, but they were fast to run your card. The decorations were fun and festive and they managed to fit a christmas tree in there.

After the location next to Threadbare closed to the public, we started coming to this location for our Wigle fix and really loved the taster events they held the last few years where you pay for a ticket and walk through different stations for mini cocktail and food bites. We've since moved but whenever we're in town, we make a point to stop by. This time around, I got the s'mores old fashioned and it had the right amount of marshmallow with bourbon, and the mushroom arugula burger. So tasty!

Wiggle whiskey is also a must stop at when we are in town. We always have great service and their large selection of bourbon, whiskey, gin, other alcoholic beverages is always vast and we always find something new to try. This round we did start with a flight with some of their fall flavors, such as their apple whiskey, the walkabout, the afterglow, which is a ginger whiskey, their cast Barrel, which was delicious. The cast strength a.k.a. the wiggle reserve makes an excellent old fashion. I also tried one of the seasonal cocktails, the sweater weather , which is made with cider from thread bear, and it was delicious. As the server said it is fall in a glass. We also tried the deviled eggs appetizer and they were delicious. This location always provides for a great experience and we always look forward to going back

Didn't eat anything here so can't speak to that. Looked like your average bar food. All I got was a vodka soda. When asked if their vodka had gluten (for reference Tito's does not, but many brands do), the waitress said "I've been told our vodka is like Tito's" which wasn't really an answer. This was annoying because as someone who had an autoimmune disorder, eating and drinking gluten is important to me and it was surprising that the waitress couldn't say whether their own distilled alcohol has gluten or not. On top of it, they served it to me with the oldest, driest slice of lime I've seen in a while. It's was like comically bad. When asked for a new one, they proceeded to give me 2 more that were exactly the same. As a place that makes its own alcohol it was insane how blatantly obvious it was that their fruit was DAYS old at best. Horrible 2.5/10.

I came in with a friend for happy hour on a Monday when not much else in the area was open. Wigle's happy hour specials include $2 off Classic Cocktails, $2 off Threadbare Cider Draft Pours, $3 off hummus, Pierogis, pretzel sticks, and shrimp, $2 off Wings, and cheese curds, however the kitchen is closed on Mondays. We were not informed of this until we went to order. Our cocktails, the wake me up, french me up, were delicious and served with a wafer which was a nice touch! I look forward to returning sometime when the food menu is available.

This was on our list of places to try while visiting Pittsburgh. (Can guests call it the Burgh, or is that a 3rd date kinda move?) The bartender was super friendly and appeased our questions about what to check out while visiting. We were pretty happy with the flavors in our flights, though the 1st on each would up beingbour favorites. We also enjoyed the refreshing gimlet. We walked out with a bottle of the honey whiskey because it was smooth, baby. I also grabbed their rosemary lavender bitters because it was a nice addition in the gimlet. What can I say, I'm an easy sell. Lol, check em out. It's well worth a visit.

Went here to try festive holiday drinks for the first time in late Saturday evening. The bartenders are probably more attentive and efficient than others I've been to. We enjoyed our drinks which were made well for the cost and met expectations, the friendly happening crowd was awesome and all around had a good time. I love their garnish and festive glasses. My friend got a bottle of whiskey to take home from out of state and staff were very helpful.

We went to Wigle Whiskey for Phil-A-Palooza and dinner this weekend. Seeing Phil and getting a picture with him was cool and the included cocktail was good! We really enjoyed dinner as well, especially the cheese curds and pretzel sticks appetizers. They had a great cocktail selection (not all whiskey). The service was friendly! Would definitely recommended.

I'll start by saying that I only came for the food. I no longer drink. One of our friends said the drink he had was super tasty though! The inside is pretty small. I'd wish for a little more room, but it's not horrible. Decore is nice! There is some "best of" flags on the wall that give a weird highschool auditorium vibe. The food was amazing though. I'm a picky eater, and they had no issues not adding onions to my steak and cheese. The steak and cheese itself was delicious!! Huge, filled to the brim with meat and cheese. Perfectly seasoned. I 100% would get it again. The fries are phenomenal, and they give you about 5 pounds of them. We got the cheese balls as an app, and they were very good, but I have a suspicion (that could be wrong) that they were frozen. Still, super good. We also got both desserts, the churro and the brown butter cake. The churro's were an absolute skip for all of us. They were fine, but absolutely not worth the cost. The cake on the other hand... Holy Man. What an absolutely amazing cake. Well worth the cost and more. All in all I was pleasantly surprised and I would absolutely go again! Make sure you get reservations though as they fill up fast!

We came for our anniversary. The cocktails were incredible but nothing compared to the food! And all of the puns for the menu items were hysterical. The white bean dip was creamy and so flavorful but the bread stole the show. The Nicholas Cajun pasta was so freaking good! I could've drank the sauce but we used some extra bread from our appetizer. The shrimp were huge and had a great grilled taste. The what In crustacean was an interesting concept for a sandwich - who doesn't love crab Rangoon?! The fries were so good I couldn't stop eating them!

I knew about Wigle for several years and was looking for an opportunity to try their tasting room. The service was great, especially the gentleman that worked with us on our tasting. The server who waited on us was good too. The pirogies and pretzels were excellent as was the smash burger. We enjoyed the bourbon and rye tasting as well and left with a couple of bottles.

Laurel S.

Yelp
The food is good, deviled eggs are excellent. The service is very good as well. However, the lighting is way too bright to the point of inhospitable. It's lit up like a gymnasium after dark, an invitation to leave the restaurant as quickly as possible. I am not alone in this assessment, others I've spoken with agree, As recently as this evening we saw friends there and they mentioned it as well. It would be great if a slight adjustment could be made after dark. Thank you!

This distillery has tasty libations and very good food. Their menu items are appealing and the service of the wait staff is second to none. Every time my wife and I go to Pittsburgh we visit Wigle Whiskey on Smallman Street to get the full Wigle experience. Highly recommended.

Had the most amazing tour this past weekend! You get 1 signature cocktail to start with (pre-mixed which is pretty cool) as well as 3 tiny tastings during the tour and a sit down 3 more tiny tastings at the end. The facility isn't huge by any means, but the story telling aspect of the history of the wigle whiskey origins certainly fills the time!

We found Wigle by checking reviews, and we really liked everything about this venue. At 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday the tables were full so we sat at the bar. The bartender and owner were very nice. We ordered drinks. The ladies liked the Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice drink with Wapsie bourbon, coffee liqueur and other good ingredients. The guys got a brown ale and IPA. We didn't wait long for food. Excellent were the chicken wings, Brussel sprouts and pirogies. The four of us shared a few bites with our drinks. We learned that you can order flights of bourbons, take a class, or tour the distillery on a Saturday. Check the website for activities. This distillery has won awards. It's worth your time to stop as it's one block from The Strip.

Amazing cocktails and super friendly services! We asked for recommendations and truly enjoyed the golden arrow and painter's delights. We also shared the flavored whiskey flight and got a bottle of honey whiskey. We love cocktails and have been to some of the best bars in the world - and the cocktails here were on par with drinks you will find at some of the speakeasies in Manhattan. Don't forget to check out the mini "museum" on the way to the restroom.

I was recently at Wigle for a candle making event. I ordered the Pickle-ijto and it was so nice and refreshing. We also ordered the "forget the meats, corn runs the streets" app, which is essentially corn hushpuppies. The space is fresh and clean and the staff were so sweet and accommodating. Wigle has a full distillery, along with a bar, seating area, and a section to shop their bottles. In addition, they also have an event space in the back of the building.

I have only been to wigle a handful of times but every time I have such a great time. Service is great and always friendly. Last time I went my friend and I sat at the bar and ordered the cookie flight which was cute! It's definitely a nice experience but a little pricey. Definitely recommend wigle if you're in the area!

Wigle Whiskey is a great place to grab drinks and dinner in the Strip! They have great cocktails and very good food too. Around Christmas time they even have a special cookie and whiskey cocktail flight! It was a great combination pairing the two together. I love flights so that was a nice twist to add food pairings with it too.

On a beautiful fall afternoon, there is nothing better than a stroll through the Strip District and some drinks at an outside table at Wigle. But first, head inside the tasting area and sample a few of their unique and varied spirits. We loved the Spiced Whiskey and the Negroni samples but opted for an Old Fashioned, a Whiskey Sour, and a Summer Sour (made with gin and lemon) for our drink choices. They make really great drinks here and if whiskey wasn't such a strong spirit, we could drink a lot more. This is a great place to grab a craft cocktail and enjoy the day. The service was excellent too.

Tiny place, so I would advise a reservation. I had a spirit flight, Sazarac, and the made in crustacean sandwich. All were good. Staff was also friendly, attentive, and helpful. It's not inexpensive, but it is on par with what you'd pay at a number of distilleries. Would be a good place for a small group of adult friends to meet for drinks. There's a parking garage across the alley with reasonable rates, if you're at all worried about parking.

I LOVE Wigle!! I've bought bottled whiskey from the store and really like them, but this is first time I dine in here and I wish I have been here earlier! We went on a Sunday afternoon so it's only the brunch menu available. The choices are limited but everything we ordered were delicious. The Bottled Cocktail flight has a great value, $12 for 4 tastings, highly recommend! We also had the coffee cocktails as dessert(lol), Coffee First tastes like a hot Irish coffee, it's a lil too sweet for me but my friends liked it a lot; I think Yinzer Coffee is a must try, so special and yummy! Foodwise - the fried pierogi came with sausage and sauerkraut, so good. The Heirloom tomato toast was refreshing. Croque Madame was amazing too, highly recommend!

Second time here. My service was great. Some at my table had to wait over 10 mins for a drink once it was ordered. The PA flight was good value for $12 (bourbon, rye, coconut rum, and gin). Last time we had a big group we were turned away. Today with 6 it seemed in the fringe of being an inconvenience

Really cool spot that is beautifully designed inside and they have outdoor seating outside. This place is located in the Strip so they have that trendy old distillery but new and hip vibe. They had nice drinks and whiskey flights. For happy hour, they have $2 off their classic cocktails and threadbare ciders. Note that whiskey sours are not on the classics menu! The burger, mushroom toast and pierogis were good. Everyone really liked their starters and the food is decent here. They use mediterra bread for their mushroom toast and it's really pretty. Their fries are also awesome. One thing that wasn't so great was the fried chicken sandwich which came really dark and burnt as if they over fried it or didn't change the oil. When I asked about it, they told me that's how it always looks... All in all though, cool spot to check out and you can even go for a distillery tour.

Great event this evening for the Pittsburgh Yelp Elite crew. Wigle is a place that I've always wanted to visit but have never gotten around to doing it. This event allowed me to see the huge, unique space. I had no idea how huge the place was. Nor did I realize that they serve some tasty food. I took a tour of the facility tonight and learned about the history of Wigle and more importantly how they make the different types of alcohol. And the best part was I got to sample some of the delicious food they make there and their tasty beverages. I would highly recommend this place. I will bring my friends and family down to Wigle in the near future to hang out, have some delicious cocktails and some great food.

Top notch distillery. Tried their standard flight and the barrel aged flight. I'm not a huge fan of spiced rum but theirs is the best I've ever tasted. The gin is very clean tasting with little burn, and their whiskeys are all super flavorful. Their happy hour appetizers are a great deal too.

Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. This place was moderately busy as we had about a 25 minute wait. I think it may be a christmas special, but I would highly recommend the cocktail and cookie flight! The trio of cocktails comes boasting some of their best whiskeys, bourbon and rum in cocktails paired with some scrumtious cookies. I also appreciated that they are all on the stronger side for cocktails. For food, I got the fried chicken sandwich. It hit all the spots, it was very savory and fried wonderfully. Its kind of a drag to park around here, but the drinks and food are hard to beat. Will be back for sure

I have to be honest and say I'm not the biggest fan of whisky but I had a wonderful experience here! The tour was great and the staff was very knowledgeable about the process and it was interesting to see how it was made. We ended up eating lunch after our tour and the cheese curds were amazing! The restaurant is new and up to date and very clean. I will definitely be going bq

Whiskey apparently is a 2nd first language of native Pennsylvanians reading the history of Monongahela Rye on the walls within. Whiskeys long associated with the south actually is rooted in Western PA, good use of the abundance of grain! Incredible to see that the language survived and thanks to Wigle (PA-ers say 'wiggle' but in German tongue its 'vigle' with a hard "i" ...and Overholt the distiller Americanized his German last name, Overholtzer so there. Yeah but what about the Whiskey? It's delicious and with so many varieties plus liqueurs, spritits including Absinthe, Rum, Gin, bitters, and brandy Wigle has your whole bar program covered, plus James Beard Award finalist accolades, twice in the ABV division! Quite amazing since our first visit 2011 when it was just a sparse warehouse doing their grain thang. The food is equally A+ imaginative use of local ingredients to elevate the normal ho-hums of pub dining, with just enough options to help you sip longer and please a variety of table mates from pub grubbers--though at a gastropub level, to your refined bunch with inventive salads and seafood offerings. Found the dressings and pickles very assertive on the acid so I would definitely ask for both of those on the side next time. $14 Broccoli Panzanella Salad apple, roasted mushroom, caputo brothers ricotta salata, fennel, pickled banana pepper, ginger-oregano vinaigrette, grilled Mediterra focaccia - stopped by on a quick lunch run and this was a bit too tart from both the pickle of the banana peppers, tart apple like a granny, and dressing that drowned out the roasted earthiness of the mushrooms. Had me puckering from beginning to end, so dressing to side would be advised. Broccoli was a bit too raw and would prefer just a tad bit cooked, and a lot of bread but kinda expected being a panzanella. 2nd visit for dinner $13 Pierogi potato + cheddar pierogi, kielbasa, barrel-cured sauerkraut, chives, sour cream. This is the winner right here, very moreish and filling for a small plate/dinner though we shared as an appy. Pierogi are deep fried crisp outside, hot and cheesy insides. Kielbasa not overly spiced fills this plate out. I would order it to share every time! $18 Blackened Salmon Sandwich caesar dressing, kale, pickled shallot, pecorino. Ordered rare and it was in the center, large hunk, and nice black seasoning and char between toasted potato bread. Fries are thin, crisp, frozen kind, aok. Hubby was super satisfied. $15 Lonzetta Sandwich toasted baguette, Boursin, Parma salami rustico, dressed arugula, pickled banana peppers. Crusty warm bread with cold cuts and opted for a side salad vs chips/fries but again got hit with high tang of dressed arugula, salad vinaigrette+pickled banana peppers, I took a break from eating after a few bites & brought half home $12 Espresso Martini--ordered off menu. Bartender used house cinnamon whiskey & coffee liqueur, espresso, & cream topped with some beans, delish but could of been twice as big haha! Dinner Service well what could of been amazing, just saying this because this put a wee damper on the experience, but everything else was amazing, atmosphere, decor, food, and the alcohol of course, and oddly every one 'Except our server' was pleasant. Logan (dark haired, shorter) was on the ticket but unsure if this was the super nice manager we assume (lighter fair hair) that ended up checking us out. So our waiter just stood there staring at us blankly saying he didn't know when asked which selected Happy Hr appetizers were $2 off...No offer to find out what they were, nor did he seem to care that he did not know; it was just so odd and off-putting. Once I downloaded the menus online, as we had asked for paper ones initially, I could easily see the 3 appys--hush puppies, pierogies & white bean dip that were discounted..so he could of just as easily done it too or just asked staff?! This wasn't the only uncomfortable interaction, it continued throughout service. Tracked him down to request another round of drinks, he just paused,looked our way and walked off without saying anything, but the order came through?! Will say he was more helpful when I requested an espresso martini which was not on the menu. He mentioned there used to be one so he would asked the bartender, so there's that, and I did get a new concoction from the bar which was great. When we asked for coffee and waited 15 mins, still no coffee, he was standing at the bar, looked over at us, then turned and kept going on with his conversation. We never saw him again; spent $200, no thanking us or saying goodbyes as we left. Had to ask another waiter for coffee again but was barely warm when it arrived. The manager took it off the tab and we did get more hot coffee but unless we knew better, this coulda left an unpleasant taste for our guests' first Wigle experience. Overall not an engaged waiter, stoic, no acknowledgements on orders, like a non-emotive robot taking an order.
