American Beer & Cocktails Closes at Linq Promenade, Moving to TI

By Scott Roeben, on October 02 2025

A longtime fixture at Linq Promenade, American Beer & Cocktails, has closed.

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

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.

American Beer & Cocktails closed at Linq on Sept. 28, 2025. We did not get the memo.

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.

American opened in 2015, replacing the long-forgotten BLVD Cocktails.

American was founded by Jonathan Fine. Fine also operates Chayo in Linq Promenade.

Fine also operated PBR Rock Bar & Grill which got the boot at Planet Hollywood. Oh, hell yes, there was drama.

We’ve poked find out where American will be at TI, but haven’t heard back yet.

We scooped the closure of Senor Frog’s at TI, and that space has been unoccupied since Dec. 31, 2024.

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.
