The Throwback

Throwback is a Yankees-themed sports bar on Amsterdam Ave. Designed to evoke the nostalgia of “your grandfather’s basement,” Throwback features a bi-level, 2,700-square-foot space filled with signed photos and jerseys of legendary Yankees such as Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Joe DiMaggio, and Yogi Berra, alongside select Knicks memorabilia like a Walt Frazier-signed basketball. The ground floor houses the main bar and eight TVs, while the downstairs lounge offers a pinball machine, jukebox, table games, and four more TVs, creating a relaxed, retro atmosphere.

The menu focuses on classic bar fare—think wings, nachos, sweet potato fries, and buffalo chicken wraps—paired with a selection of cocktails, wine, and staple beers. Owner Alex Bryant drew inspiration from his late grandfather’s extensive sports memorabilia collection, aiming to create a welcoming spot for both die-hard fans and casual visitors, particularly those aged 40 to 60. With its blend of sports history, comfort food, and neighborhood spirit, Throwback is set to become a new go-to for sports enthusiasts and anyone seeking a friendly, nostalgic hangout.
