Clinton Hall

Cool outdoor bar atmosphere is great for the nice weather and they have a pretty huge spread of beers and drink specials (which I've found can be lacking in a lot of places downtown). The food is above average, but is essentially your typical bar fare, so don't expect the reinvention of the wheel. They have an awesome variety of games, from mini golf holes, to giant connect four, to giant chess, among others to help keep people entertained. With all that said, this place does fill up fast, and with it really shows how cramped the actual bar space can be, which makes ordering sometimes an arduous experience not unfamiliar to any New Yorker. And in a similar vein the bathroom situation certainly leaves something to be desired as well, just having two small stalls for everyone in such a large area seems insane. But overall, definitely check it out if you happen to catch it in a lul.

Really liked this place. Close to the Rector Street Station stop in downtown Manhattan. They have beer deals and a lot of there own beer or micro brews to try out. The food is pretty good as well. Three people had to tackle The Peanut Butter Dream which would put a person into sugar shock. There are also games to play if you dont like sitting around and drinking. Good place to hang out for an afternoon.

Probably biggest warning is that this place is for the under 30 set and is really a sports bar with some decent burgers. This is not really a restaurant, it is a loud hang out spot. We had the aged beef burger and the meat was really good but the bun got wet and squishy fast, fries came out dead cold. Margarita was candy sweet and tasted like it came from a mix. Very uncomfortable seating. Perfect spot for frat boys and out of towers. This review is for the Clinton Hall on 51st Street.

The place has a great setup to hang out with friends. So the reason for 3 stars. First is the beers on tap, they barely have any local beers on tap . This is NY it's overflowing with brewery's . Now they will say they have local beers in a can or bottle which they do ,but guess what my local bodega does to. Second was my food I ordered the burger with the egg and got a burger that did not have the egg. I hate wasting food so I ate it. The burger was ok but nothing to right home about, it was little over done for my taste as good beef shouldn't be scorched but again I don't know if it is good beef. But like I said great place to hang out and play games.

Fun place to go with friends. Bartender complained about making me a Manhattan though. That kind of irked me, especially since I tipped the other bartender well on the first round. I could see if I ordered a frozen drink or something that needed to be blended, but a classic cocktail? Really? It didn't taste right either.
