How American Whiskey is creating more than a bar experience through events, creators and community | amNewYork

"American Whiskey, a restaurant and bar located on 247 W 30th Street, across from Madison Square Garden hosted faithful New York Knicks fans for a playoff game watch party on Wednesday evening. It's great. We're all fans of different sports, but I feel like New York is a basketball town. When the Knicks are good and they're rolling, the city is just alive and we like to be a place for people to come and watch, co-owner Casey Pratt told amNewYork."

"As the Knicks muscled out their second straight win over the Philadelphia 76ers, fans rooted them on at American Whiskey, which has hosted fans for all of their playoff games thus far. New York fans are passionate. They're the best because everything we do we're all in. Whether it's work, play or sports. If you're going to do it and spend time doing it you might as well be all in, he added."

"Aside from hosting watch parties, American Whiskey offers a variety of speciality drinks, including Whiskey that comes from hand-picked barrels. Their menu also features an assortment of cocktails and entrees, such as sandwiches, cheeseburgers and chicken wings that are smoked in-house. The vision for American Whiskey is very simple but not easy. We want to be an institution in New York."

"We've been here 13 years, but we feel like we're changing every day. What we want to be is for the people. We want to bring the best products. The best experiences. The best service. The best everything and give it to New Yorkers that's always been our plan and what we want to accomplish, co-owner Kevin Hooshangi said. Hooshangi added that management wants to create the best experience for every customer because he grew up watching Knicks games with his father and friends at bars."
