Upper West Side Whiskey Bar With American Pours
Sipping American whiskey in a small, dark room, with creative cocktails and tavern fare at standard prices.
🥃 Whiskey on Amsterdam Avenue
The Hamilton is an Upper West Side whiskey bar at 998 Amsterdam Ave, built around a wide selection of American whiskey. The small, dark room pairs low lights with warm wood, and finding a spot is typically easy despite the tight quarters. Cocktails move past classic pours, with a Penicillin and an Old Fashioned finished with a dried Peruvian sand worm for curious drinkers. Simple tavern fare and a few select beers round out the order, and prices stay standard for the neighborhood. The bar opens at 4 PM daily and closes at 2 AM Monday through Wednesday, 4 AM Thursday through Saturday, and midnight on Sunday.
