American Whiskey Newark

Everybody likes to trash this place but honestly couldn’t ask for more when you’re going here before a devils game or concert at prudential center. I’m not sure what people expect out of a bar/restaurant that is right next door to a stadium/arena that is of course going to be packed right before an event. The food and drinks come out super quick IF YOU GET A TABLE, especially considering how packed the place is. We were seated immediately (40 minutes before puck drop). The pizza came out in like 60 seconds, not sure how the waiter even maneuvered back and worth to the kitchen through all of those people that quick. Pizza had great flavor and came out hot. Chicken tenders and fries were kind of lacking, tiny little fries like it was the end of the bag or something and only three chicken tenders on the small side. I understand it’s the location but for the price I would like less fries and maybe one or two more chicken tenders. Pretzels were awesome but the nachos were just alright. Still would 100% recommend if your hungry or looking to pregame before an my event at prudential center.

We ate at the pizza bar and loved loved loved the Italian pizza guy! He made our night so special. He had us laughing and was paying attention to detail. I would return just for him. Other than that, drinks were slow but they were extremely busy. Food was good, service was not bad but I think they could have used a few more staff members. They were certainly trying to keep up I'll say. We had a great time. Hey6 there early before a show though!

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.

This restaurant was the most friendly, hospitable place we have visited in Newark. The food was excellent and prompt. Service was top notch and they made accommodations for the dog as well. Will recommend it to anyone visiting the Prudential center!

I paid $24 for pasta Primavera, and ended up with a bowl of spaghetti and frozen mixed veggies. Not OK. Come for the drinks, atmosphere , and for the fried food. Don’t come for quality high priced cuisine.

I went there with my son to watch the Devil's game. The atmosphere is good and the place is clean. The servers were prompt and courteous. The disappointed was with the food. My son ordered fried calamari and I ordered a bar pizza. When the waitress went to the kitchen to get our order, she found out that the pizza cook had left early for the night. I re-ordered and asked for the chicken fingers and a mix of waffle and sweet potato fries. When the food arrived, it was clear that all of the items we received were from frozen bags and not even good quality frozen food. Everything was very bland and chewy. We basically just left full plates on the table when the game ended. I have three stars only because this could be a great place if the bring in a real cook with pride in what his or her kitchen puts out.

On a Friday night before going to see a comedy show at prudential center we came here and ordered 2 drinks, some waffle fries, meat balls and pretzel sticks. Food came out before drinks and was cold. Service was good. Please be more consistent with your kitchen. I should not have to eat waffle fries that are clumped together and cold meatballs. Our server Felicia was great and very attentive in all of the chaos. 6/262025

8/2/24 Stopped in because we were early for Prudential Center event and someone in our party wanted a drink. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and Calamari. Calamari were good, crispy outside and tender inside. The marinara was good, wished we had more lol Service was good, our bartender had a smile and very accommodating.
