Located on 35th Street two blocks from Madison Square Garden, this Stout NYC outpost has 'seen up to three to four times as much in sales during Knicks' playoff games compared to some other nights,' owner Martin Whelan told Forbes, describing a sharp, game-driven demand spike.
Whelan, who runs Stout NYC Hospitality Group's 13 citywide locations, told Forbes the bar runs Knicks-tied promotions including free blue-and-orange shots after wins — part of how it leans into the playoff crowd surge rather than treating it as an ordinary night.
