American Whiskey Newark

Stopped in before the Matt Rife show for a bite to eat and some drinks. We ordered pretzel sticks and a margarita pizza, which was good but the pretzel sticks were warm on the outside and cold on the inside. The coffee was fair but received the milk in a small ketchup container (so strange). Overall is was a good location right before an event at the prudential center.

This place was so good. The pizza was awesome - perfectly crispy crust with just the right amount of char, amazing flavorful sauce, and super fresh ingredients. You can really taste the quality. The mozzarella was fresh, and everything just worked together perfectly. On top of that, the service was outstanding. The employees were so friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. It made the whole experience even better.

I came here before the Brandy & Monica concert. Really nice atmosphere. They were even playing Brandy & Monica, which was fun. I sat at the bar and my bartender was super sweet. I do have to say though, that she didn’t make the best drink. I ordered the cold fashion. It’s made with cold brew, and this was the sweetest old fashion ever. It wasn’t balanced at all, and I barely tasted the whiskey. It also comes in a very small, uneventful glass, and for the price I was charged ($15+20% gratuity, bringing the total to $20), I’d expect a mixologist-esque cocktail. This drink was poorly made directly into the glass. No sort of mixing or shaking at all, and it tasted as such. I kept the tab open, hoping it’d be a good enough drink for me to want to order another one, but I was good after that drink. Also, the menus were sticky and dirty. I wouldn’t recommend, unfortunately, mostly because of the drinks being so pricey, yet so lackluster. I don’t mind tipping 20% because I know the bartenders work hard, but the drinks need to be good.

My buddy and I picked this place because it was next door to Prudential Center. The place was packed, and there was a wait to be seated. Our host and server were fantastic. As busy as they were, they were pleasant and fast. I ordered a Margherita Pizza. It looked burnt but wasn't. It was a well tasting charred pie. More sauce than cheese is always a plus for me. I would love to come here when it's not so busy. FYI- what we didn't notice was that the establishment adds a 20% gratuity to the bill. We missed this, and our server was double tipped.

My son suggested this place for my dad, him, and me to grab a bite and a beer before going to the Devils game, and though the Devils didn't play particularly well that night, dinner and beers before the game were fast and tasty, and it was great to watch all together as 3 generations of Brogowski men. The atmosphere here is definitely geared towards fans, with the bar a bit more of a young crowd, so we sat at a table and they got us our burgers and sandwich so quickly it made my head spin! Everything was done well, and he taught me about splitting the G on a pint of Guinness, which I've been doing naturally after learning how to properly drink a Guinness from an Irish friend many years ago. ;)
