Bar with library decor, 2 bocce courts, & basement perf space
"The Park Slope old favorite bar, it attracts locals and visitors alike, often busy yet never hectic. A large spacious bar is right at the entrance and a specious seating area in the library style, including shelves with books, soft lightning, a beautiful brick fireplace, and a number of leather couches and comfortable chairs. However, Union Hall is famous for having two bocci lanes right in the middle of the bar. One should not forget to put their name down on the list to play a game or two. A wall of trophies is a clear reminder of frequent competitions of various leagues. Last but not least, an open space downstairs is where live performances take place." - Anna Griniuk
"Bar crawls are not an option when it’s so cold you immediately become sober the minute you go outside. But don’t let that get in the way of your weekend drinking needs - you and your crew simply need a spot where you can hunker down for the evening. Enter: Union Hall. With its bocce ball courts, fireplace, library, cushy living room-esque seating, and solid bar eats (including a Basket Of Bacon), this place feels like an adult playground. Still not convinced? There’s even a basement level downstairs where, depending on the night, there’s live music, comedy, and dance parties." - katherine lewin
"The best comedy shows are good parties, and a good party will have all your stories the next day devolving into “you had to be there.” So be there, at the Y’all Had To Be Here show at Union Hall this Friday. In addition to a live podcast from the YHTBT crew, there will be stand up from comics featured on Comedy Central and FX, live music, trivia, and more. Buy tickets here." - neha talreja
"Maybe you’ve seen pictures of people rolling balls in a town square in Italy. That’s bocce. Union Hall, which looks like a library in a hunting lodge, has two indoor bocce courts, and they’re first come, first served (unless a bocce league is using them). So go ahead and learn how to play. It isn’t hard, and it’s a good activity for groups, because everyone will be equally bad at it. The courts might be full when you get here, but you can always just grab a cocktail and wait on a couch." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang
"Did you drag your crew all the way out to Royal Palms Shuffleboard Club only to be told the wait for a court is three hours? Be the hero and lead your people to Union Hall (a few blocks away), where you can play bocce ball instead of shuffleboard. When you need to take a break to drink and eat bar food, you can do so on the big leather couches in front of the fireplaces." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, neha talreja, kenny yang
