Historic Post Office

Built in 1937.
Restored for a
long dinner.

Whiskey & Water comes from a lifelong love of the water — the beaches and bays of Florida, the simple idea that seafood should taste like it came from somewhere real.

Now it lives in a 1937 post office in Blue Ridge, where the mountains meet the coast.

Whiskey & Water was founded by Anthony and Kelli Battaglia, lifelong restaurateurs who live and work in Blue Ridge. Anthony’s Blue Ridge footprint includes The Black Sheep Restaurant and Christy Lee’s Courtyard Grille — the same mountain downtown, a longer run of hospitality before this dining room in the 1937 post office.

Whiskey & Water is a seafood restaurant and bourbon bar in downtown Blue Ridge, Georgia: coastal plates (including Miso Black Cod and seafood boils), one of the largest whiskey collections in North Georgia, and a mountain-casual room built for a long dinner.

Original Cocktails

One of the largest whiskey
collections in North Georgia.

Over 100 bottles* of bourbon, rye and whiskey line the back bar — one of the largest collections in the north Georgia mountains, and reason enough on its own to drive up to Blue Ridge.

Original cocktails, flights, and pours worth sitting still for. Come early, take a seat at the bar, and let someone behind it pick for you. See the full bourbon list.

*Includes allocated and limited-release bottles that aren’t printed on the list. Selection is subject to change as bottles come and go.
