"Pouring Good Vibes" - The Whisk

Tosh & Joel Everson grew up in Greencastle and considered moving away. They soon thought, “Why not create what we’re looking for right here!”

The Eversons gave birth to The Whisk in 2022. They’ve crafted a destination for relaxing, unplugging and enjoying community. “The people are part of the recipe,” says Joel.

Bar seating, tables, couches and a patio provide spaces for comfortable community conversation.

Whiskey tastings, pub theology, vinyl night and other events are regular occurrences. The couple also hosts private parties.

An extensive whiskey collection curated by the owners stretches behind the bar.

Mimosas and Bloody Marys are brunch standards. Ash & Elm cider is on tap along with a few beers and complimentary coffee. Seasonal, in-house recipe cocktails expand on the whiskey, bourbon and rye collection.

The menu features weekly specials along with small plate appetizers. Don’t miss the pimento cheese! Brunch fare includes French toast, Breakfast BLTs and more.

Unwind for some self-care on Thursday evenings. Join the Bourbon Club for unique whiskey experiences.

Live music inside and out on the patio, weather permitting, features local talent. From kitchen to bar to stage, the Eversons talents keep on giving.

The Eversons soon opened The Bodega, a grab-and-go market. House-made breakfast and lunch sandos, salads, locally sourced items, coffee and more provide good eats and more good vibes. Pair the food delights with Haley’s warm welcome for a delicious start to the day.

Tuesday at The Bodega is Steve’s Teas day. Local jazz musician Steve Snyder prepares and serves fresh, deliciously delightful Boba Tea. Why boba tea? “My enjoyment started 25 years ago in Taiwan. There wasn’t anything here,” Snyder says. “I wanted quality, organic, homemade, delicious.”

Snyder’s sons (ages 15 and 11) sometimes help serve. “I want to show my boys you can go do something if you want.”

The Eversons hold whiskey tastings in a spacious, elegant room above The Bodega. “It’s a place to taste and learn,” Joel says. Pairings of whiskey and history bring locals and visitors together for rich, good vibes.

The Whisk is open Thursday and Friday evenings, and for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. The Bodega is open 7:00 am - 2:00 pm daily, Monday through Saturday. Children are always welcome!

Good vibes await! Stop in, relax and enjoy food, drink and especially community!
