Jean McCarthyNovember 10, 2013If you have to be in this area of town on a Saturday night, this place is great! The music is amazing, 80's and 90's hits, and the drinks are decent and well priced.
Lori LuoSeptember 20, 2014This bar / restaurant makes for a great place to catch a drink, or to sit down for a full meal. Get the duck fat tator tots; they're so good, your friends will be grabbing them off your plate.Upvoted Nov 2
Amber SchreinerNovember 2, 2013Great UGA bar. Maybe even better than being in an Athens bar for game day-- it's all UGA alum who made it in New York but who still love their Saturdays to be full of football and whiskey. #godawgs
Josh FerryAugust 15, 2017A good variety of whiskey and decent food as well. When looking for a different vibe near MSG this is a good option.
- Ailie ChangSeptember 11, 2015Start off with the Lamb Lollipops and the Crab Cake! Those were a huge hit with my friends. All 5 of us also got the Short Rib Sandwich. Great meal!
Ms HeleneFebruary 2, 2015Tater tots poutine with cheese curds surprisingly worked $14, oyster po boy mini slider sadly did not $6. Good whiskey selection but of course! Classier than you expect for this area.
Tim BackusNovember 15, 2015Interesting cocktails, a ton of whisky, well-lit, and music at a volume that allows for conversation
Erin McBrideSeptember 20, 2013Great addition to a neighborhood that doesn't have a strong identity. great food, delicious cocktails, really fun, big space. The whiskey list is ridiculous.
Jason GelmanSeptember 29, 2014Better than expected food. The duck fat fried tater tots are a standout. Friendly staff. Great place near MSG to catch a game or meet up for a drink.
@JaumePrimeroOctober 15, 2013A sign of what's to come in this up and coming area. Just wait until Hudson Yards is finished! Great place to calm thyself after dealing with the horror of Penn Station.- Great place to watch a UGA game in the fall. It’s almost like being in Athens!
Courtney R.January 9, 2016Great place to drink before an event at MSG. Big room in the basement and extra bar!
Cesar RazuriSeptember 1, 2013Lots of TVs to watch Georgia Bulldog games, but get a table or sit near the bar. It can get pretty crowded during game day.
Cindy lauNovember 10, 2014Extensive whiskey selection, knowledgable staff and phenom food. Duck fat tater tots- end of story.
Kelsey✨January 30, 2023great pregame spot before heading to MSG. yummy cocktails & the buffalo broccoli & brussel sprouts are 🔥🔥
MikeJune 27, 2019Excellent selection of whiskey! You know you’re in good hands when the drink menu has a table of contents!- Great sliders, super tater tots, good American Whisky selection, rather limited single Malt list
Amy CarothersJune 10, 2016New Examiner review and photo slideshow: American Whiskey pours guests a good time.
Andrew DollDecember 31, 2014Great selection of whiskey, but has a kind of "bro-ish" atmosphere. Staff was friendly and helpful!
Meg FarmerMarch 16, 2015Head here for drinks before a game at MSG. A little less touristy than other midtown spots.
Monica StangleFebruary 4, 2016The $18 whiskey flight is great, and the tots are so good (massive serving too)! Plus bomb ass ketchup.
Hailey CrowelOctober 9, 2013Great vibe and amazing food (particularly for a bar). Definitely the best spot in the area.
Jereme BivinsJanuary 20, 2015Great atmosphere, fantastic whiskey menu, and extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Great times with great people. Huge potential enjoy it. Cheers and thank you.
Rob CavenaghSeptember 27, 2013Have several choices in mind: the bourbon list is daunting but not quite 100% stocked yet. Fries are good - tots and lamb lollipops are better.
Russell HirschornJanuary 27, 2016Whiskey list is a monster, so many diff types but on the expensive side. Food was ok, tater tot poutine, fried oysters meh, sliders had big buns, little filling. Service was slow, place is loud
KellyFebruary 5, 2015As expected, the place was packed with bearded guys. Interesting, strong cocktails.
Grace LadyecuaMarch 20, 2016Great for drinks. Dinner experience was ok since I felt rushed. Near MSG so it was very convenient.
Amanda KellyFebruary 10, 2015Take the virtual tour. It is a great way to check out the ambiance before you go! Read more
Katerina AnnaDecember 7, 2014Good cocktails, but the place seems a bit tacky to be a cocktail bar and a bit posh to be a pub
Bryan OJanuary 7, 2015I asked for a Ward 8 on the rocks (it's normally served up). It was phenomenal.
Randall HuntSeptember 13, 2013The soft open was pretty rough. 35 mins for drinks, 1.5 hours for food. Out if just about everything. Need to try again when they've worked out the kinks.
Felix SargentDecember 29, 2014Far too expensive for what you get. It's $10 for a reasonable pour and they strictly measure everything. Get the happy ending.
PatSeptember 21, 2013Caught the UGA game upstairs and it was empty. Oyster and shrimp po boy was pretty good.
