Jean-Michel Basquiat called NoHo’s Great Jones Street home, and now more than thirty years later, Great Jones Distillery is bringing his namesake back to his Manhattan neighborhood. This exclusive collaboration has transformed Manhattan’s first distillery since Prohibition into an 80s time capsule.
Not only do they have exclusive merchandise for sale in collaboration with Rome Pays Off, but there’s three limited edition Basquiat bottles of bourbon from the Distillery, and pop-up bar inspired by the artist featuring food and drink inspired by 80s New York and Basquiat’s favorite hotspot of the era the Mudd Club.
The Distillery is open daily from 11:00 to 11:00. Learn more about them, including the Basuiat pop up bar, here. As part of the Distillery take over, they’ve also created two special events, available to book now!
