Whiskey Bent Saloon

About Whiskey Bent Saloon

Whiskey Bent Saloon is a honky-tonk on Broadway with a specific angle: whiskey. A firm opening date is not well documented, but the identity of the place is clear from the bar back. It is independently run, with no celebrity name attached.

The room is a rustic, energetic honky-tonk with a built-in stage and live bands running from around noon until 3 in the morning, seven days a week, which is the standard Broadway live-music commitment. What separates it is the drinks program. Whiskey Bent markets what it calls Broadway’s largest whiskey selection, leaning on Tennessee labels along with rarer and harder-to-find bottles, and it offers whiskey flights, which most honky-tonks on the street do not bother with. The crowd is the usual Broadway tourist mix, with a fair share of people who came specifically for the whiskey list.

Whiskey Bent is the pick when you want a classic live-music honky-tonk but also care about what is in your glass. If you would rather work through a flight of Tennessee whiskey than drink another light beer while the band plays, this is the room on Broadway built for that.
