Essential Information

1 Van Der Donck St
Yonkers, NY

914-376-6050

Whisky Rio opened last March as part of the ongoing Yonkers waterfront revitalization. Like its long-awaited neighbor X2O Xaviars on the Hudson (When, Peter Kelly, when?), Whisky Rio rests right on the river and boasts magnificent views that stretch from Manhattan to the Tappan Zee Bridge. The sight is especially sweet in the summer, when customers can spend their evenings outside on Whisky Rio's 7,000 square-foot patio. During the winter, the lack of outdoor seating is certainly a loss; however, the owners recently installed a heated tent on the patio to tide over the 20 to 30 year old crowd in colder weather.

If there's a better use for an outdoor tiki bar situated on a 3,000 square foot patio with views that stretch the length of the Hudson than to throw one of the biggest barbeques in Westchester every Thursday through Sunday, we don't know it. And with drinks such as the Dirty Banana (fresh banana, banana liquor, Bailey's, milk, chocolate syrup, whipped cream) and frozen Mojitos served up nightly and coupled with live music on weekends, we don't plan on missing many of these gigundo weekend get-togethers very often.
