Went here after dinner to grab some beers and play some board/card games. It wasn’t that busy and there were plenty of tables to sit at. The bartender was really friendly and let us try different beers before committing to it. We ended up getting a flight and really enjoyed the lemongrass saison. They have plenty of board/card games you can choose and play. Good date night spot!

Very nice outdoor secret garden in the back.The grilled cheese doughnut was amazing!! Happy hour is from 3-7 with draft beer for $6. Their happy hour IPA was very light and easy to drink, but their non happy hour IPAs were better. Our server didn’t really know her beers which was surprising since it’s a beer garden kind of place. There were a lot of after work meet ups happening here. Very casual vibe.

Great place to host a team happy hour - spot is very accomodating to large groups and easy to reach (had 20+ people and we all sat comfortably on a Tuesday at 5pm). We enjoyed the mango margaritas, wings, chicken tenders, and fries - pretty standard bar food.I want to give a special shoutout to our server, Joy-Ann, who went ABOVE & BEYOND to take care of us after a long wait. She was very attentive, gracious with her time, and really made sure we had a great night. Thank you Joy-Ann!

Huge thank you to JoyAnn who was absolutely incredible! She took great care of us (party of 35). She was kind, funny and extremely efficient and attentive. I had multiple people tell me how impressed they were.

The place wasnt busy when we visited but it looks like it should be a fun, active bar. Service was on point. We didnt eat but the ppl around us did and their food looked good.

Jordan, Christa, and Esdras’s and his brother were fantastic. Their service was prompt and on point. Food and drinks were phenomenal for our group. We will definitely be back and plan future parties with them.

Brought my parents here to grab a drink recently and wont return. The bartender wasnt knowledgeable about the beers on tap (at all), and gave a theyre all good reply when asked if they personally like anything, though they did let us try a couple. The front door to the space took a very solid pull to get open -- probably a few dozen lbs. of force to move it -- and multiple people tried, failed to open it, then walked away. Our party took it upon ourselves to push the door open for a few such parties.My father let the bartender know about the door issue and they made a flippant comment to him about how he should get stronger, and another than I dont presently recall.Awful experience and I dont recommend it.

Nice place for beer and games. Decent food and ton of games to play while getting drunk. They also conduct some group games for gift cards and other stuff. Place gets very busy even on week days, so plan early especially if it’s a big gang.

I tried their parmesan cacio e Pepe balls. These were deeply fried and topped with tomato sauce . While they were delicious they were also pricey for the portion. Otherwise cool location next to pod51 hotel . They have a wide selection of beers and games. Gets fairly crowded

Wow. Just wow. This place’s waffles are absurdly large and filled with surprises. We didn’t heed the warning that one order of a waffle could feed six so an attempt with a friend left 2/3rds of the waffle after we were done. These things are massive but so tasty. Topped with a full slice of cake, held together by blow pops (with the sticks) and ice cream, with ample amounts of marshmallow fluff and whipped cream on the top and undersides, this is a must have for both trendy and hungry groups! The sparklers were a pleasant, bonus surprise as they brought it to the table.

Donut grilled cheese was delicious and fun. 3 stars as my only complaint was due to service, but I guess thats the problem if you go to a place without a hostess. A restaurant full of people, but the staff congregated around the bar. We sat down, looked over the menu and even played two games of connect four and still no one came to greet us. Asked a staff walking by if we had to go to the bar to order but he told us a server will take care of us. Then flagged another staff walking by that came from the bar, and he said something inaudible and walked to the back. So finally caught someones eye at the bar and asked them to come over but they just looked at me and then looked at the other person next to them which I assume was the server for section? He came over and took our order. Then later the inaudible server came back and asked us what we wanted to order. So definitely frustrating, but once our food came out we were happy campers.

The reason why I post this pictures is to show the everyone that what they post on Instagram is notReal, this has been the worse grill cheese I have ever had, tomato soup is from a can, at least you need to add some Sugar so it won’t be soo bitter, service was the worse I don’t think the waitress wanted to be there, I was sooo disappointed after all I really wanted to like this place, please post real pictures not photoshopped once, if you found this donut on Instagram you will see the huge difference, as a costumer not that you care I won’t come back as a chef is a terrible way to impress me. Beer was ok I had better.

Had an absolutely awful experience here this weekend. The manager was rude and awful. Do NOT go here if you’re looking for good service and a place to watch sports, even though that is what they advertise on their website. My friends and I have been regular customers for years but if this is how they treat loyal patrons, we will not be coming back. Will be sharing this far and wide.

Review №21

Great place. Excellent food. Good beers. Terrible, TERRIBLE service. I have been there several times because I like the food and the beer, but the service has been consistently bad. The wait staff forgets about you, they don’t check if you want to order more, it is always hard to get their attention. The last time I was there my waiter shushed me when I was trying to get his attention, then he forgot to deliver our drinks, so when we eventually got them they were watered down; then we had to ask a different server to refill our water because our server was chit-chatting with the staff.Visit at your own risk.

My favorite Clinton Hall location. The vibe is cool and the staff are incredible. They have tons of games like Connect Four and Jenga for you to enjoy while polishing off some delicious food and drinks. Definitely check out their website for specials like their 50 cent wings on Sunday Football or fun events. Always a good time here - so stop by if you are in the area!

So I went with a party of about 10 on a Friday afternoon. I had to wait close to 10 minutes twice for the bartender to acknowledge me and serve the drink (it was a small crowd of patrons)-which I wasnt impressed with: the Jenga Gingersnap. My coworkers all had a variation of the burgers with fries which they liked and frankly looked good.We had some jumbo pretzels which were also good.Now, I had the one and only type of pizza, which it looked and tasted like it was made to be sold at Dollar Tree or one that youd buy at an amusement park.There are several games to play there which was cool.The young hispanic lady who served our food had exceptional customer service and was very friendly.

Definitely for groups! Nice vibe. I ordered the buffalo shrimp. Do NOT order that dish. Its 4 shrimp fried, with a drizzle of buffalo sauce. Shrimp should always be steamed, but hey im not a chef! its not cooked well at all. They need to just take it off the menu. Seafood is not their strength, horrible. The wings are decent. Its a place more for the drinks. Overall I had a great time. Eat before you get there!

Disabled people and service dog handlers beware! Do not eat here. Upon entry, I was stopped by whom I believe was the manager and asked what my disability was and what my service dog does for it. I was then told only service dogs for physical disabilities is allowed. Not only is asking for my disability illegal, so is discriminating based on what type of service dog it is. I showed him the law on the ADA government website, but was disregarded and told it wasnt the NY law. I proceeded to show him the laws for NY, but he continued to disregard me. He told me that only service dogs for physical disabilities are allowed and that this is a corporate policy. I told him that was illegal and attempted to show him the laws again, but he ignored me and said Reading wont help anything. The only solution he offered was allowing us to sit outside, which I refused because it is December and cold outside, but also since isolating me from other patrons due to my service dog is a violation of the ADA. He refused to hear this either. He was rude, unprofessional, and discriminatory throughout the whole interaction (although he told me to my face that he wasnt discriminating). He told me to file a complaint, and I have. We were eventually allowed to sit, after a friend explained that we were here for a birthday, but I believe he was tired of arguing with me. I will not be returning to this discriminatory business and encourage anyone with a disability to steer clear.

Went here for happy hour. The food was great and the drinks were good as well. The atmosphere is incredible since its very hip and modern. The board games on the table are a great addition too. I would recommend coming early for seating as the place gets packed very quickly around 5:15 when people get out of work.

We went there after work like 5pm on Thursday. It’s pretty packed already. The vibe is food. Make sure to get the spicy chicken sliders!!! Yt tastes so good and juicy, flavorful! Service is friendly & quick! But the music is kinda loud due to the crowd. Good place for happy hours!

Review №33

It was just alright...had nachos from the appetizers section. The cheese was too much for me, I added my own salsa at home. The avocado in the nachos was great. I believe the avocado was to suffice for the lack of salsa ( as the menu indicated that) BUT, I still needed salsa!!I also had the spicy , sweet wings and they were not too fleshy, which I liked. They just were not as tasty (flavorful) as I imagined.It was trivia night and it sounded good. As I waited on my food ( I got take out) I guessed a fee answers correctly.I was impressed with the selection of games people could play at their table. (LOVED THE CONCEPT)But I wont return for food.. way too much money for the two items, that I dont crave to have again!!

When we arrived, they said there was no kitchen/cook. We went back and it was the same cook who sent us away. The waiter was not kind, patient. The food was not tasty, the meat was raw, the order was not brought out at the same time. And we paid $180.

Review №35

Service was poor. We needed to flag down a server to get initial service after sitting for 5-10 minutes. Then needed to get his attention again to get the check. Beer was good, nachos were OK. Nachos came fast. Its a place with a lot of board games, and a lot of people were playing games around us. Pretty rowdy. The room was reflective of sound, so it was quite loud inside. I couldnt talk with my date without yelling. I wouldnt go there again.

Food was great the burger was actually really good . Plan on going with a group or it is lonely no where for singles to sit so whole bar was full and no way to get a drink . If your looking for diversity don’t go here . A lot of songs by poc were remixed by Caucasian artist and honesty did most the song no Justice . Once I heard the remix of Whitney’s it’s not right but it’s okay I new it was time to leave . Also good luck getting to the bar even with saying excuse me .

Have changed my review to reflect my new opinion of Clinton Hall... I have only been here twice the first time was terrible bad food, bad service. I order a hamburger rare and got a hockey puck with cheese, and then an attitude when I brought this up. Although the place is very nice the experience I had was nothing short of horrible. I went back today only because the cold made it a very convenient choice. Im glad I did the service was excellent the food came out the way I asked for it as fast as anyone should expect it. I will probably go back and see if they can hit 2 out 3.

I want to start off and say thank you for the services and amazing food. Not only was the burgers amazing , but having 2 Pattie’s on the burgers is even more amazing , my wife and I got the same burger , and it did not disappoint, the games were incredible brought me back to my childhood , especially the rubic cube, the services was outstanding , no matter how many people that was in the restaurant, they still checked up on us and made sure we was okay. I will be coming back and highly recommend to couples who is looking for a fun night out

Recently opened, this place is an awesome hang out spot. The wait staff are courteous and the beer selection is great.They have some unique food items such as their doughnut grilled cheese. Served dangling over a bowl of tomato soup, youll want to dig in quick before all the cheese drips away.Also, did I mention they have Jenga and other games available to play?Grab some friends and chill out for an hour or two.

Our first trip to NYC was mark complete with a short pit stop to this bar on Sunday to watch a game. Before I go on, order the nachos. You will thank me.We were impressed with the laidback feel to the bar. It is ideal for large parties -- most of the seating includes picnic tables -- who want to talk but also do something fun while they drink. There are games like Jenga, Uno and giant Connect 4 to play with others. In addition, you can wander the room and find shelves of games or games on the wall.If you plan on going on a Friday night, get there early. Like happy hour early. This place gets packed on a weekend.

Food was good, beer selection was good. Service was absolutely terrible. Getting another beer was 20-30 minutes every time even though restaurant was not busy. At the end of the night there were items on our bill we did not order. When we went to the waitress to dispute it she said oh I know you didnt order that before we said anything. This implies she knew our check was incorrect and gave it to us anyways.Check your bill.

Awesome happy hour spot with lots of energy and music. Younger crowd here for sure when I visited with corworkers one Thurs night. I came around 5:30pm to grab a table and this place was already pretty packed. They didnt have all the cocktails on the happy hour menu so I opted for my second choice - margarita. Then proceeded to drink several more beers throughout the course of happy hour. We also took advantage of the happy hour apps but also ordered from their regular menu for apps. The chips and guac was good, chicken quesadilla was good, the pretzel was good, and the buffalo cauliflower was also very good.There are also games you can play (jenga, giant chess, etc) but we just chatted as our pastime. Friendly staff as well so definitely would recommend for happy hour.

Review №53

How are they able to serve the fondue burger (main attraction) at all hours but not able to simply do the veggie burger? Then they can’t make an omelette with egg whites? Do they not own eggs? The cherry on top was settling for the donut grilled cheese and for it to come straight out of the kitchen, cold! I’ve heard well of the one downtown but, to go and pay a good diners price just for outdated board games (the connect four pieces are literally all the same color)... I think I’ll pass. Rank.

Review №55

The happy hour food and drinks were great, in terms of portion size and prices. They had items in the price categories of $3,$4,$5, and $7. The waffle fries and buffalo cauliflower was great. The placement of the Guacamole for the chips and guac was not the greatest (guac is under all the chips). Theres also table top games (e.g. battleship and Jenga) located at the tables.Didnt really like the server system. Servers are assigned to specific tables and, since we didnt know who our server was, we asked servers that passed by if we can order with them. These servers told us to wait for our server, which we didnt see for about 10 minutes. When our tables server did arrive, she seemed to be stressed out and a bit upset with us getting there so close to before the happy hour ended (understandable, as this is our own fault that we arrived 15 minutes before happy hour ended and will try to get there earlier next time).

Great seating and environment to enjoy with friends or just alone by the bar. Nice bingo night on Tuesday at least when I went. Great service fast and efficient. But unfortunately everything is over prices and overrated, nothing great or that was worth it.

Nonexistent service. I went here with my two year old son to order food to go. I walked in and I didn’t see a hostess or any type of greeting person to direct me where to go. So I parked my son’s stroller and we went to the bar. The bartender was talking to a customer and there were two other employees next to the bar talking to each other. I waited close to five minutes without one employee acknowledging me. The weird part was it wasn’t that busy, maybe 6-8 customers on a Saturday afternoon. It goes without saying but I’ll never try this place again.

My wife and I saw a video on Facebook of this cheesey doughnut, and were amazed, how someone can create this. So we decided to go to one of the locations, excited to go try this famous cheesey doughnut, but ended up getting a doughnut with metled cheese. Not what we saw on the video, so we were disappointed in that. We were hoping cheesey Cheesey, like the cheese falling into the pot of tomatoe soup. But I guess not... other than that the place is cool, good music, good vibes, a great place to have drinks and play board games, card games, etc... I can say the cheesey waffle fries, THE BEST!!.AND THE NACHO CHEESE WITH CHICKEN.

Came for a soccer match during Copa America and the manager insisted on not turning on the audio and kept playing music. We went to another bar a block away with full game audio. This place ruined our weekend. We won’t come here again and will never recommend this place to anyone we know.

The place is very nice. Great for people who like beer which I dont. Got a mojito that was not good. I felt bad for the waiter he seemed to be overwhelmed and the only server. So I cant give 5 stars because I felt ignored. A Friday lunch our should have more staff and food should not take as long as it did. Food was so so not like the location by seaport which was a let down personally. Burger was dry and taste like nothing.

I brought my family here for brunch to celebrate my birthday when they were visiting town in October. My party of 5 walked in around 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday without a reservation and we were able to sit immediately. Once we sat down, the server informed us that a couple of offerings on their brunch menu were not available. We placed drink orders that took ~15 minutes to come, and when they did arrive, my cocktail from their drinks list and my dads seltzer were missing. When I followed up to inquire about the whereabouts of my cocktail, I was informed that they were out of it—the entire cocktail, not just one ingredient. I ordered another drink and then my family and I placed orders for our main courses. About 15-20 minutes after placing the orders, the server returned to the table to inform us that some of our selections were unavailable, in addition to the selections she mentioned when we first sat down. At this point, 25% of the menu was unavailable. My brothers made some new selections from the All Day menu, only to be told later that they could not order from the All Day menu.After 30 minutes of waiting for our food, we were hungry and confused, especially since there were only 2 other parties in the restaurant. The manager came over to tell us that our order was only entered into their system ~13 minutes ago, which was obviously infuriating. When some of the food did start to trickle out, it was one dish at a time, rather than waiting to bring everything at once so my family could actually eat together. On top of that, the server brought over a burger that no one ordered instead of bringing out any of the correct dishes that wed waited ~45 minutes for at this point.The chef eventually came out and apologized for our experience, explaining that the restaurant was overhauling its menu. They comped our food and gave us coupons to came back.When I came back with 2 friends about 2 weeks later, we wanted to drink pumpkin beer and take advantage of Clinton Halls Oktoberfest. As shouldve been expected, they were out of pumpkin beer, as well as about 5 other beers on their beer menu of about 20-25 beers. The restaurant was a lot busier because a UFC match was on and there was only 1 server working from what I could see. Against my better judgement, I gave Clinton Hall a chance to redeem itself, but it just didnt deliver.

James the server made me very uncomfortable in my visit to Clinton Hall. Every time we are there he makes us feel uncomfortable and seems to have very strong political opinions that he feels the need to push on his customers. I will not be returning to this establishment or any of their other locations in the future.

I was referred to this place by a friend, but would give this place 0 stars if I could, due to the General Manager alone. I called in advance for a group gathering at Clinton Hall, where I was told on the phone my group of 6 didnt need reservations, and we would have no problem being seated. Upon arrival, we were asked to go to the terrace where there was space for seating. When inquiring where to sit (based on the greeters instructions) the General Manager who was at the outdoor section YELLED at us saying: I dont care who you spoke with, I am the General Manager and there is no seating here due to private party. When we tried to explain that we were told to sit there by his staff member inside, and that he shouldnt be yelling at his customers, he slammed everything he was doing, came to confront us, yell at us some more, and marched in to the indoor portion of the bar. Absolutely disgusting, inappropriate, uncalled for behavior. As cool as this place looked, I would never give my business to this location as the customer service is horrible. Not worth giving your money to someone who is disrespectful to his his clients, based on misinformation from his staff. I will be telling everyone I know about this experience so they can look elsewhere for their events, work outings and general hang outs.

Review №124

One of the most poorly managed establishments I’ve ever seen. Only giving 2 stars because the bartender was nice, but if you ever run into a single issue here expect it to be hell on earth. The kitchen lost my order and after waiting nearly an hour, checking in at about the 30 minute mark, I asked for a refund because it was clear my food was not coming. It took the manager 10-15 minutes to even come to process the refund, and when he did, he tried to shift the blame onto me, saying that the food did come out and acting like it was somehow my fault that the food didn’t make it to my seat. He barely even apologized and clearly didn’t care at all that I had a terrible experience there. I hate complaining about service, but I know I’ll never come back here as long as it’s still being run in such a terrible way.

Always find a seat. The service is on point! The bar tenders are really knowledgeable and friendly. The amount of beers on tap is cool and they all taste great if you come with a group. Theres something for everyone and the food is good too! There are games to play, TVs on, and music. A college crowd (Fordham University) comes in but the students are really mature and theres no obnoxious behavior to ruin your time. Strongly recommend! (The 51st St location is cool too)

I live in the neighborhood and walk by Clinton Hall often. I decided to take my parents who were visiting here for a quick lunch before we headed to a broadway show. When we got there, the place was empty besides a party of about 24 in the back that had people periodically trickling in. We arrived around 1:20 PM and ordered shortly after. The drinks were cold and great and it was off to a great start! However, as time went on, it was close to 2:15 PM when we finally got our food. I ordered the Avocado Toast Benedict which is marketed to have poached eggs and a hollandaise sauce. When the plate arrived, it was cold and the eggs were fried, not poached and there was no hollandaise. I sent back the dish and said I did not have time to wait for another dish and ended up picking off of my parents plates. I never had a meal of my own nor was I offered anything. Our waiter was very nice but not once did a manager come over to speak with us nor apologize. Also, the bartender lurked around our table and did not say one word to us but had no issue listening to us talk amongst ourselves regarding the issue. We were not offered anything and paid close to $100 for an incomplete and inconsiderate meal. Our waiter was sweet and handed us a $10 off card, if we decide to come back but like why would we???? If they cannot handle having their restaurant open while also hosting an event, that is not my problem. It was ridiculous to be served the dish that I was given and it was insulting to think that they tried to pass that off as their dish on the menu. It is an absolute shame because the drinks are good and the place is cute but their customer service is HORRIBLE.

This was the first bar we went into once we got to New York as it was at the entrance to our hotel, POD51. Really good atmosphere and busy. We didnt eat but the food looked tasty. The only options for a coeliac was either wine (not great) and cider on tap which wasnt very good either. My partner had some of the beer which was excellent. Good service and enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. Just a shame there wasnt any good cider available.

They limit the beer orders to one per person, which is a shame as the food would only be serviceable if I were completely hammered. We ordered off the happy hour menu for food mostly and the hamburger empanadas. Not sure if they ran out of salt in the kitchen, but Im plenty salty after trying the food.Fries were cold, tenders were soggy, empanadas had no seasoning but hey, at least these were still hot. Most disappointing meal Ive had in a while; the service was fine.

We visited this place after watching one of those network shows where the guy visits weird places or places that serve unusual foods. By coincidence we were in the area.When we entered, the restaurant was jammed packed due to a major sporting event on tv. There wasnt that big of a problem finding a seat however, we were sharing a table with another group. The tables are picnic style, rectangular and very long with bench style seats. Sharing was not an issue. This locale was full of excitement and energy; a great place to watch sports.As far as the food goes...unique and captivating. Starting with buffalo cauliflower (really good and recommended) moving to the fondue burger (burger with the center cut out with fries and a pot of cheese that can be poured into the center of the burger - not as good as I hoped). My table also ordered a Greek salad (awesome) and a double smash burger (awesome too). Add a side of one of their local beers and this place is a hit!

It was my first time here and we were in a big group of 13. I had ordered a fondue burger and sweet potato fries. It really hits the spot. There are also games on each table to play with while we wait for our food. There is a bit of a wait for the food, not sure if it was because we were a big order since we went in on a weekday afternoon.

After reading all the reviews about this place I thought I’d have a great experience... but I was wrong. After waiting over 30 minutes for food, that wasn’t even hot, it wasn’t the correct order. Usually when they take your entire meal away to fix the error they bring it back, but instead I only got the burger. No fries. Had to ask for the rest of my meal from another worker because the waitress was no where to be found. Pretty disappointing experience. All of the drinks were also completely flat. Don’t think I’ll be returning.

Not really impressed with this place. Was expecting a lot more out of a $16 burger (bacon, bacon, bacon). The patty itself was ok, but underwhelming considering the price tag. It was a little dry and not overly flavorful. The bacon and cheddar were good, but the mustard was practically non-existent so it didnt add much. The shoestring fries and pickle were tasty, but still didnt justify the cost.As a small plus, I solved a Rubiks cube while waiting for my food at the bar, and there were lots of games around which would probably make it fun for kids or groups. But that wasnt enough to redeem the overpriced burgers.

Do not have a private party here. Terrible customer service and communication. During my event Damien stopped open bar drink service after 45 minutes to the whole party because someone they saw was “too drunk”—at that point no one had a chance to order their second drink because service was so slow. I have been emailing Benny about my experience and he takes weeks to respond and then says he will refund but never does. Save your time, energy and money and go elsewhere.

Maybe not for birthdays, fine for everything else. Hip place. Solid bar food. Games. Awesome servers. I struggled to rate this place because the manager was ridiculously passive aggressive in her language and behavior.We all bought food and drinks and I brought a small 8 birthday cake for my friend but we werent allowed to eat it. I didnt ask for them to refrigerate it. I had my own spatula for cutting it. Ive bartended/served in NYC for ten years and never been asked to pay a cake cutting fee. Especially not on a slow Monday, in a bar setting, not even a restaurant. I was even willing to pay a flat $10 or so, or buy one of their desserts too, but it was going to cost ~$30+ for the privilege of cutting my own cake for 10 people. I brought almost the entire cake home. She really put a damper on what should have be a fun birthday night.

So I looked up this place REALLY excited to take my daughter for her birthday. Their fondue burger was on the FOOD NETWORK’s THE BEST THING I EVER ATE. I was so happy I could get reservations before a show! Well- The menu had changed and not been updated online - QR code or paper copy & none of the good drinks (frose, blackberry bramble) were available….and the burger- ehh not the best thing we ever ate. The thing that REALLY upset me was when we asked the waiter- who seemed oh so nice to split the bill, knowing we were in a hurry, he left out the itemized bill. We each added 20% and then later I realized that on top of the NY tax - an 18% tip had already been added in! Thanks Manny! Not nice!So if you come here ask for an itemized bill & get the Buffalo Cauliflower- it’s the only great thing besides the shakedown.

Great beer list and state-of-the-art tap named the Flux Capacitor. But if youre more into macros brews youll be disappointed (go for the estrella galicia, dilly dilly!) The food was tasty but nothing special (wings, nachos, shrimp bites, pretzel) and a bit on the expensive side leading to a poor value score for bites. In addition the cocktail menu was lackluster and small, and speaking of small, the first bathroom to the left is the size of a small closet and borderline unusable. If youre into craft beer, youll enjoy this place and its good for groups, but its unlikely a whole group is into craft beer.
