With a long history in New York City (the first dates back to1884), the traditional American bar has opened here in São Paulo in 2008.

After its success a second restaurant was opened in 2012, in Jardins, with a more intimate layout concept and only thirty-five seats, plus fifteen bar stools.
Preserving the original patterns in the décor—from checkered tablecloths, art-deco light yellow lampshades, brick-faced outside walls, the oak bar counter, to the large windows—the house is on par with the original New York restaurant.
In addition to the architectural care, table service and the menu remain faithful to the American counterpart. Beers, whiskeys, burgers and lots of other classic choices are all on the menu.
The restaurant also serves a typical American brunch on weekends, and includes Brazilian ingredients in the recipes.
