Marc MayerJuly 31, 2015I've seen some great concerts and had many a "last" shot. It's never really your last shot. One day, Mike Birbiglia served me a beer. I did a triple take. It was a good beer.
Time Out New YorkDecember 19, 2017This bar offers everything you could possibly want on Christmas Day: fireplaces, beer and bocce. Come by yourself and cozy up to the fire with a good book pulled straight from Union’s stately library. Read more
Upvoted Sep 28- Time Out New YorkMay 18, 2016Prefer classic summer jams from Ace of Base over Rihanna and Drake? You are in welcome company at Union Hall in Brooklyn. Shameless 90's sing-alongs are accompanied with $7 drink specials all summer. Read more
Chelsea RenaudMay 10, 2016A big space, with cheap drinks, bocce ball courts, an outdoor courtyard, a downstairs venue that hosts dance parties, and even a cozy, leather-chair covered section for hanging out by the fire.- Time Out New YorkDecember 19, 2017This bar offers everything you could possibly want on Christmas Day: fireplaces, beer and bocce. Come by yourself and cozy up to the fire with a good book pulled straight from Union’s stately library.
Super cozy spot that's as intimate as it is spacious. Safe bet when you have friends visiting who want a taste of Brooklyn without getting too weird.- John Hodgman (of Daily Show and Mac & PC fame among other things) has been hosting a somewhat weekly show downstairs called Secret Society. Catch it if you want cheap smart funny comedy.
Saphryn ShikazeJanuary 5, 2017Bocce (traditional Italian bowling), Bronx Double IPA, and amazing friends. The three defining experiences here at Union Hall.
Sara KafkaMarch 23, 2015It's easy to spend the whole afternoon here. Wait for one of the couches to open by the fire and lounge around while ordering drinks, snacks, or real food. Bocci leagues occupy courts on Sunday's
AmateurConciergeFebruary 26, 2018Kinda thought the spot would be a bit dumpy but it’s actually very nice, bocce is well maintained and good little performance space in the basement
BlackBook MagazineNovember 16, 2012Bar menu expanded from signature beer-cheese on Ritz to deep-fried Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and wild boar sausage. Good selection of beers on tap, hops always goes well with kitsch. Read more
David GreenbergerAugust 10, 2014Good place to take the parents, when visiting. Something for everyone and a bit out of the ordinary.
Collette SNovember 17, 2015Library, bocce court, bar, lounge, club - this place has it all. Well worth the trip to Brooklyn - will be back for sure.
Yera HaJanuary 13, 2015Get there early to grab a seat! Also, this may make me sound like a wimp but they have really tasty ginger ale for those nights you just can't stomach alcohol.
The Corcoran GroupNovember 18, 2010Grab a comfy chair by the fire and have a pint and an order of sliders. Or enjoy a game of bocce. Or venture downstairs for a live show or a spelling bee.
MichelleMarch 6, 2015This looks like a library! Got a negroni (well my bf did...I got a whiskey ginger and it wasn't much to talk about) and that was perfectly made. Good atmosphere!- Time Out New YorkFebruary 1, 2012Browse the vintage tomes that line this bar's walls with a bookish date, or head downstairs for one of the venue’s music or comedy shows, such as Eugene Mirman’s weekly Pretty Good Friends.

Nathan WrightOctober 2, 2015The cozy fireplace area is perfect on cold Brooklyn nights. (If you can grab a seat.)
Natalie TimoteoJune 16, 2012Quite possibly my favorite Brooklyn bar. Bocce courts on the top floor, decorated like a library, concert/dance parties in the basement, and weather permitting an outdoors area.
Adrianna GrężakAugust 16, 2013Refreshingly large bar for NYC with a relaxed, neighborhood atmosphere. Enjoyed the Union Hall Iced Tea. Lots of couches, small courtyard, and bocce ball!
KatDecember 29, 2012For a chilled out night by the fireplaces next to the humongous bookcase or a fun night out with friends playing pétanque
bocce and beers, but gets a bit brotastic on the weekend. they have great music in the basement and the burger with fig spread is delicious.
Tamara DOctober 1, 2016Cool place. Mostly young people, great little place downstairs to hear local bands and they were great too! Great vibe.
CompassMay 20, 2014Bocce ball courts, wall-to-ceiling bookshelves and fireplaces, and an underground music and comedy venue make Union Hall a destination favorite.
Margot MazurMay 7, 2015One of my favorite bars in the slope. Good amount of space and perfect for a first date—not fancy but not horribly divey.
John SheffieldJanuary 3, 2016Bocce ball, fireplace, books everywhere, plush leather furniture, good vibes and music, nice bartenders, aesthetic is basically Dumbledore's library.
Lindsey RhoadesMay 7, 2011This place is the be-all end-all in Brooklyn bars - from live music to bocce ball, taxidermy to comfy sofas and roaring fires, it symbolizes everything that's great about drinking in this borough.- Spork ThrowerSeptember 6, 2014Fantastic bar to hang out in. Cavernous yet cozy with plenty of seating, couches, a fireplace and 2 Bocci courts!
Percy CockswainSeptember 14, 2015Excellent bar with a ton of space and a comfy feel that makes getting drunk feel just a little more awesome.- There's a load of great beers here. Grab a seat and read one of the books in the cozy fireplace nook.
Karin RendelmanMarch 27, 2011Love this spot!! $4 original sin so that I can feel like I'm havin' a beer while my friends really are! Indoor bocce ball...and a faux library with comfy seats. Good for drinkin' and people watching<3
Thomas EdwardsSeptember 24, 2011Between the bocce, downstairs indie club & the outdoor beer garden, you won't know what to do with yourself. My tip: Have one of their 40+ beer selections. Cool fact: downstairs bathroom is coed.- BlackBook MagazineDecember 14, 2012Hipsters playing bocce. Hipsters in the library. Hipsters by the fireplace. Hipsters in the garden. You could write a 'Muppets Take Manhattan' movie on this place - hipster style. Read more
Curl up next to the fireplace, have a chat with no TV blasting. Or see a show downstairs. You never know what will be on display.
Men's Health MagNovember 10, 2011This place is huge—15,000 feet, former warehouse huge. It’s so cavernous that it becomes like a dozen private bars. Just watch out for couples getting…a little too cozy on the couches.
Grab a seat on a weekday after work and checkout a comedy show afterwards. You'll appreciate the quietness as opposed to the noisy weekend crowd.
Stacy HFebruary 12, 2012A great, cozy bar where you can curl up on big, leather-tufted couches next to a fire; get social playing bocce ball or partake in their rotating events downstairs.- Time Out New YorkSeptember 13, 2010Sit upstairs where the walls are covered with leather-bound books and a fire roars in front of comfy couches. It’s sort of like the library-meets-bar you wish you had when you went to college.
Adam SchuitDecember 2, 2015Bocce ball! Great vibes at this Park Slope bar. Nice place to come in the winter with the fireplaces going
VH1July 22, 2010If you happen to love bocce ball and live music, you’re in luck. Roll a game up top and head downstairs afterwards for a live set from a sure-to-be-cool band. - Jim Shearer, Top 20 Countdown
Jonathan ManzoNovember 14, 2012Catch the great comedy show , cheap date, every second Tuesday. The hosts are great and the guest comedians are always really funny!
Wesley ScanlonNovember 6, 2014Bocce ball, karaoke, large bar, downstairs events, great atmosphere, library and comfy couches
Nicole ReganFebruary 7, 2016Fun and cozy, but if you want a good spot or to play bocce definitely get there early.
Taiowa WanerDecember 23, 2016Bocce and drinks upstairs. Downstairs has a small venue where you can see comedy

"Skip the Yuengling; $4/draft is too steep even w/pizza. Their cocktails, especially LI iced teas are super potent and worth every penny!"

"Best local pub. Friendly people, cold cheap beers and awesome Saturday karaoke with Eddie Mac. My favorite place to unwind. The backyard is great too."
Erin Samuelsen - 7.7
"The chicken and fries platter are good and the SAUCES ARE BOMB! The private room karaoke are a little street (worn and torn) looking so if your into that kind of aesthetic you will be at home."
