About The Quiet Few
The back bar is the first thing to register: shelves of American whiskey climb to the ceiling behind a long wooden counter, with soccer and other games on the screens above. Bourbon is the specialty, from pours of Old Forester single barrels to old fashioneds, but the drink regulars write about most is the pickleback, made with a spicy pickle brine prepared in-house. Food comes in checkered paper baskets, with smash burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, waffle fries, fried pickles, chips and spicy wings, and there are gluten-free options. Service is repeatedly described as quick and friendly, though two August reviews describe a door staffer refusing entry to a service animal. It opens at 5pm on weekdays, from 2pm on Friday and noon at the weekend, closing at 1am every night. Google rates it 4.6 from roughly 430 reviews.
