Lantern Hall

Lantern Hall
Excellent customer service in a fun bar setting with a Nintendo 64 in the back for customers to play! What else do you need? The burger was good, although I wish it was bigger I felt like I ate it too fast. Good beer selection at an affordable price.
PRO TIP: fried chicken sandwich next time

Love this new spot in the middle of nowhere. The ambience is fun with board games and video games in the back. I was able to play a life size game of Jenga after eating my food. I had the fried chicken sandwich which was good. At first sight I thought it looked small but after eating it turned out to be quite filling. This KS a great hangout with friends

Wandered in one day and got a couple beers and fried pickles. Went back in this weekend (solely for the delicious pickles) and was told they no longer do the fried pickles. Whyyyyyyyy??? I hope they reconsider. Would also be nice if they offer up a few more options for vegetarians. Overall, cool atmosphere. Good summertime spot. BETTER with fried pickles. Oh. And please update your menu on Unilocal if you’ve truly nixed the pickles.

This was a fabulous burger and beer. Nice ambience and great value. I appreciate the addition to the area.

Amazing environment and bar crew. Best bar in the neighborhood. Come on weekends with your friends and spend the entire night here.

Staff is wonderful, very polite, inviting, and accommodating. The epitome of customer service. They should open a Customer Service College, New York would be a better place if they did.
Helped them close the entrance glass gateway and they offered me free shots of whatever.
Will return!

The crew aka staff here are awesome with everyone. The service is on point and I’ve seen William once run the whole bar by himself and damn he’s good.
The Space:
Big and tall. Plenty of room for big crowds. Included at your stay at Lantern Hall is a Nintendo, oversized Jenga and a slew of other games.
Events:
Monday and Tuesday’s they do shows and trivia which is super fun.
Food:
No joke but they make an amazing Burger and Fried Chicken sandwich. I’m a big fan of the tater tots. The menu has Crab cakes and a bunch of other goodies.
The Feel
Very cool, relaxing and open space. The lighting is always on point.
Directions: it’s three doors down from the Morgan Ave stop on the L train. And the B60 stops right in front.
Look Out:
They rotate their selection of Craft Beers often so it’s a great place for tasting and discovering what you might extra like.

#I like this as a bar more than a place to eat. But the burger is juicy. If you love old school tater tots, then this is your place.
I suck so bad at #Mario Kart.

I was visiting NYC and looking for a cool place in Brooklyn after browsing the art galleries in east Williamsburg. This little gem had almost no sign, nor lights, and is located on a desolate industrial street. Although it was a few feet from the subway station, the street was quiet except for this beer hall.
Walking in, you see long wooden benches and local art work hanging on the exposed brick. The shelves above the bar are filled with mini kegs, a cool touch and fitting for their concept.
My boyfriend and I sat down in the back and then we ordered the chicken sandwich from a bartender named john. John was incredibly well informed about the beers but unfortunately I wasn’t planning on drinking that day. The food took about 7 minutes to arrive which was acceptable as the place was half filled (this was a Thursday at 6pm). The fried chicken sandwich was amazing. Perfectly crisp on a potato roll. A bit expensive for a chicken sandwich ($ 9) but this is NYC. Also, the burger was the same price which is strange.
We stayed for a while and it was a chill atmosphere. Because there is no wait service, we weren’t pressured with the check to turn over the table.
The ambiance was industrial/​manufacturing with hip hop playing from the ceiling. Very cool place. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone.

Great craft beer selection (14 on tap). Amazing food, did I mention the amazing food!!! Reasonably price.

Absolutely amazing! I’m new to the area from Ohio and trying to find the best local places without some guidance can be hard. My sister and I came across lantern hall and based on the photos, menu, and beer selection decided to drop by.
We ordered a flight of beer for a very reasonable $ 15 as well as a burger ($ 9 base price and $ 1 – 2 for add ons), and Mac and cheese. Everything was SUPERB. The Mac and cheese ($ 9) is made with shell pasta and has a smokey spicy flavor, the burger was cooked to perfection, and the tots are crispy and delicious.
The atmosphere is gorgeous and awesome ambiance. They provide games such as connect four and jenga, as well as a projector with Mario kart for anyone to play!
The staff is amazing, the food is amazing, the atmosphere is amazing, can’t go wrong.

Stop in here for a beer and a bite!
Super friendly bartenders
Great music, amazing food and a kick ass beer selection.
The owners can often be seen helping out and contribute a lot to the good vibes in this new neighborhood spot (huge plus in my books).
Check it out, you won’t be disappointed

Awesome new craft beer bar located right next to the Morgan L in Bushwick. They have the largest variety of beers in this area, as well as a full liquor bar and very tasty food menu. Several interesting beers that you won’t find anywhere else. My favorite is the Simple Sour, which is light with nice balanced citrus flavors. The fried pickles are an amazing vegan option-​perfectly seasoned and excellent with any of the beers.
The space is large and minimalist, yet cozy. High ceilings. Candles in mason jars. Awesome bartenders-​Nick and Taylor were both lovely and very knowledgeable of the menu. All credit cards accepted.

If you like good beer and good food, look no further. You think it’s easy to have 5 stars on Unilocal?No. It’s not. It’s really hard, actually. Especially when you’re another freaking bar in Brooklyn. Do you have any idea what it takes? Of course you don’t. But it’s ok. I don’t really either. But I can tell you one thing. These guys do.
You walk in and you’re greeted by the friendliest faces behind the bar. You take a seat and look at the ever evolving chalkboard of amazing beer selections and you’re instantly overcome with a wave of fearful excitement. It’s too much to handle? Don’t worry. Whoever is behind the bar will hold your hand and be your shoulder to cry on.
You’re hungry, eh? Take a look at the menu. Simple at first glance, but so masterfully perfected by whoever the hell is back in the kitchen. They’re the real heroes. And like General Francis Garvin, a true war hero who fought tirelessly to defend our country, they remain unknown and uncredited.
If you love America and support the troops, stop by and have a beer. Make some new friends over some old school Nintendo or Jenga. And remember to never look back.

Came here for a brunch on Sunday, the place was packed! Great food and nice ambience! Fantastic selection of craft beers, very friendly staff! Will definitely be coming back soon!

Burgers, Beers, more beers and OVERSIZED JENGA! Board games, Art on the walls, tons of beers to choose from, a chicken sandwich that is prob one of the best ones I have had in the area not to mention the staff is super nice. Met one of the owners, Jeff who is a super great guy. With the food great (although not a lot of choices as its mostly a bar) Staff as friendly as Gumby smoking gorilla glue and an owner who you wished owned every bar in NYC cuz you would love to see people of this caliber succeed. Whats not to love. Its still fairly new establishment and will only get busier as time moves on so give it a try while its not so crowded. My new fav local spot on my way home from work (its right next to subway and bus so you dont have to stagger far to get home. They have a slue of old video games too. good fun date meetup place for sure.

I moved to NY for grad school a while ago. This is the first time I’m reviewing a bar because I had such a great impression.
So I’m a bit over the whole bar /​lounge thing in NY, because everyone does the same thing, and if you’re not treated like crap by a bartender, you’re not in a cool place. I hate that. It’s stupid. I didn’t work hard in school and at my job, then go out to relax, have some fun, and spend my hard earned disposable income, so that the kid who drank too much and never read any books in his adolescent years could treat me with no respect (run on sentence but I don’t care because I’m rambling in frustration at the NY bar scene). I thought about venturing out to Brooklyn with a couple friends, and we checked out Lantern Hall.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS are important. And this place made a great impression. WHY? Because it didn’t have the stuck-​up jerks who don’t treat you like a peon when you’re ordering a drink. AND THEN THE MAGIC: Nintendo! SNES! N64! Are you kidding me? I met one of the managers Jeff, and he was super chill. When he saw that we were checking out the games, he encouraged us to play some Goldeneye. Mad respect Jeff. Sadly, I got owned just like I used to. AHHH that feeling of hanging out with buds and getting trashed on.
So some facts: prices are reasonable for bar food. Even though I didn’t try many of the finger foods, they looked pretty good. Especially the tater tots with all the craziness on them. Definitely going to have to try that the next time I’m back. They said it can get pretty crowded during the weekends, but I totally get why. They do «cool» in a genuine, fun, and nice way. Not the stuffy cool in Meatpacking and LES. Hope it stays like that.
Only drawback is that it’s in Brooklyn. Wish a place like this would open somewhere in Manhattan. Hmm now that I think about it, it’s probably better to keep it there, away from the douchey crowds that eventually ruin a bartender’s attitude.
Disclaimer: I know not all manhattan bars have that stuffy feel, I just haven’t found one that I felt comfortable in. To each its own.

During a recent visit to NY, we were looking for somewhere casual where we could grab a couple beers and we came across this place through my friend’s suggestion. They said it was a new spot and I thought why not! I totally enjoyed my time there. I loved everything about the atmosphere and décor — the open space, exposed bricks, wood walls and tables, graffiti. They also had games, entertainment, and a great variety of beers!
Unfortunately, we had someplace else to be so we didn’t order any food, but everything looked delicious and everybody looked like they were enjoying their food. The bartenders were extremely kind and super welcoming. When I’m in town again, I definitely have to come back to try out more beers and THE FOOD. Definitely ordering the chicken burger and tater tots next time.

Entering an empty public space feels like a transgression.
Here is a beer hall, designed for mass merriment, but devoid of people. The last customer files out just a few minutes after we arrive on a Saturday evening.
I continue to be mystified by the traffic flow in Bushwick. A perfectly nice, new bar just above the Morgan L subway entrance is but the latest example. The previous night I went to Yours Sincerely, a draft cocktail place much further out than this place. It was packed. Perhaps because New York magazine hadn’t written a blog post about the restaurant, the hordes didn’t show up. Or perhaps things really get going later in the evening.
Whatever the case, the beer selection in here is varied enough to find something interesting, if not revolutionary. The bar snacks are greasy and heavy in an appealing way. My friend ate some fried pickles while I worked my way through a set of tatter tots. I was disappointed by the advertised shuffleboard table, which is not full size and has rather flimsy pucks.
I see on their Facebook page a commitment to innovation, including some N64 games, parties and a chicken sandwich and beer special. While the crowds aren’t there now, with a bit of luck and the right promotion, I’m sure they will stop by.

This by far my favorite new spot in Brooklyn. The staff really puts in a lot of effort and you feel welcome. Upon coming in, I was well greeted and I really dug the «hang out and chill» vibe. Extremely pocket friendly and the week day deals were just icing on the cake. The owner Jeff and his father, always try to really take care of the customers and you can tell its that real old school «mom and pop» bar. This ones easy, 5 stars from me guys!
