Opening June 15, 2021, a new place will grace the Delray Beach culinary scene. Warren American Whisky,  is an “American whiskey kitchen” within a 6,000 square-foot space (with 4,000 of that indoors and 2,000 outdoors).  The eatery will feature wood flooring, dim lighting, and rich leathers and velvets.

The owner, Jeff John, has the intention with Warren is to pay homage to his late uncle, Warren John.  The uncle is described as “an illustrious bachelor, collector of unique artifacts, and lover of fine whiskey and food.” In creating the restaurant, John wanted every detail to work together to honor his uncle’s legacy—and make kindred spirits feel right at home.

The focal point, however, is the old-world whiskey wall—which will feature bottles “as rare as Warren John’s artifacts themselves” and treasures from Jeff John’s ten-plus years of collecting spirits. At 900 bottles, it will be the largest whiskey library in South Florida, not to mention its most impressive: enthusiasts will drool at the sight of some of the rarest whiskeys in the world, including Macallan 50, Double Eagle Very Rare, Michter’s Celebration, the entire line of Last Drop Whiskey, and all vintages of Pappy Van Winkle.

While the restaurant’s main bar will have seats for 26, there is also a four-person bar and 12-person chef’s table for private dining experiences and exclusive whiskey tastings with master distillers and ambassadors.
