A longtime fixture at Linq Promenade, American Beer & Cocktails, has closed.<\/p>\n

After extensive and dogged journalistic research (we called the bar’s phone number), we learned American will reopen at TI.<\/p>\n

American Beer & Cocktails is sometimes stylized as “ameriCAN.” Yes, with a lower case “a” and capitalized “can.” It goes without saying we absolutely hate that. It’s our fervent wish American will rectify this situation prior to reopening at TI.<\/p>\n

\"\"
See, it closed, so we changed “can” to “can’t.” Please keep up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

American Beer & Cocktails closed at Linq on Sept. 28, 2025. We did not get the memo.<\/p>\n

American featured both beer and cocktails.<\/p>\n

Beer is one of humanity’s oldest beverages, with origins tracing back more than 7,000 years to ancient Mesopotamia, where Sumerians brewed a fermented barley drink often consumed through straws from communal bowls. As you may have seen from a mile away, that historical factoid is an incredible coincidence given the name of our band in high school.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Our fan club was called the “Bowl Movement.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Egyptians refined the process of making beer. Egyptian laborers were sometimes paid in beer.<\/p>\n

Brewing spread through Europe, where monasteries in the Middle Ages standardized recipes, introduced hops for flavor and preservation, and elevated beer from rustic drink to craft.<\/p>\n

By the 19th century, technological advances like refrigeration, pasteurization and lager yeast cultivation transformed beer into the global, mass-produced beverage it is today, while the craft beer movement of the late 20th century revived small-scale brewing traditions as well as pretentious small talk involving terms like “mouthfeel,” “dry-hopping” and “notes of horse blanket.”<\/p>\n

Cocktails, on the other hand, were invented by Tom Cruise in 1988.<\/p>\n

Details are few about why the venue closed at Linq Promenade, but let’s just say rents are high, visitation has dipped and bars don’t close if they’re successfully hitting their numbers. Awkward.<\/p>\n

American opened in 2015, replacing the long-forgotten BLVD Cocktails.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The forgettable decor and complete lack of vibe were hallmarks of American at Linq Promenade.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

American was founded by Jonathan Fine. Fine also operates Chayo in Linq Promenade.<\/p>\n

Fine also operated PBR Rock Bar & Grill which got the boot at Planet Hollywood. Oh, hell yes, there was drama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ve poked find out where American will be at TI, but haven’t heard back yet.<\/p>\n

We scooped the closure of Senor Frog’s at TI<\/a>, and that space has been unoccupied since Dec. 31, 2024.<\/p>\n

We trust American Beer & Cocktails will be replaced at Linq with another liquor-based offering, otherwise an angel loses its wings and nobody wants that.<\/p>\n

Update (10\/6\/25): Word is American will move into the Big Chill space at TI.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
