American Whiskey

If 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.

Great 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

This 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.

A good variety of whiskey and decent food as well . When looking for a different vibe near MSG this is a good option.

Start 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!

Tater 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.

Interesting cocktails , a ton of whisky , well-lit, and music at a volume that allows for conversation

Great addition to a neighborhood that doesn't have a strong identity. great food, delicious cocktails , really fun, big space . The whiskey list is ridiculous.

Better 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.

A 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!

Great place to drink before an event at MSG. Big room in the basement and extra bar !

Lots of TVs to watch Georgia Bulldog games, but get a table or sit near the bar . It can get pretty crowded during game day.

Extensive whiskey selection , knowledgable staff and phenom food. Duck fat tater tots - end of story.

great pregame spot before heading to MSG. yummy cocktails & the buffalo broccoli & brussel sprouts are 🔥🔥

Really good food & apps! Check out their frozen drink of the day.

Wings , braised short rib sandwich , brussel sprouts !!

This is THE place to go for whiskey in Midtown. Period. Read more

Excellent 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

Head here for drinks before a game at MSG . A little less touristy than other midtown spots.

Great selection of whiskey , but has a kind of "bro-ish" atmosphere. Staff was friendly and helpful!

The $18 whiskey flight is great, and the tots are so good (massive serving too)! Plus bomb ass ketchup .

Great vibe and amazing food (particularly for a bar ). Definitely the best spot in the area.

Great atmosphere, fantastic whiskey menu, and extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff .

Great times with great people. Huge potential enjoy it. Cheers and thank you.

Have several choices in mind: the bourbon list is daunting but not quite 100% stocked yet. Fries are good - tots and lamb lollipops are better.

As expected, the place was packed with bearded guys. Interesting, strong cocktails .

Whiskey 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

Burgers , ribs , tater tots , ambiance, music , the crowd

Like a classy sports bar , solid for pre or post MSG events

Great Colorado-style food. The burger and neat bourbon is all you need.

Extensive whiskey selection . Helpful staff . Usually a bit of a crowd.

Great for drinks. Dinner experience was ok since I felt rushed. Near MSG so it was very convenient.

Take the virtual tour . It is a great way to check out the ambiance before you go! Read more

Good pub food before a game at MSG . Doesn’t get too busy either

Perfect tots . Excellent rye old fashioned. Great service

The name says it all. I recommend the signature cocktail on top.

Good cocktails , but the place seems a bit tacky to be a cocktail bar and a bit posh to be a pub

Good mixed drinks . One of the sexiest staffs in NYC.

I asked for a Ward 8 on the rocks (it's normally served up). It was phenomenal.

The 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.

This place is amazing, get the duck fat tatter tots .

Nice drink menu. Food was good not exceptional. Short-staffed

Caught the UGA game upstairs and it was empty. Oyster and shrimp po boy was pretty good.

Far too expensive for what you get. It's $10 for a reasonable pour and they strictly measure everything. Get the happy ending.

New bar with decent food and lots of screens for football !

NY Georgia Bar . Come here for barking, winning, and the beautiful people

Great cocktails , although the area is kind of dead.
