Pretty cool spot - it shares the same kitchen as The Penny Farthing. It's the way more chill version if you want a drink. We came here during happy hour - Tuesdays is $8 margs and $8 mix drinks, good deal. Service was a bit slow but only one person was staffed on this side, I was so surprised! - Cajun dry rub wings, (4/5): great juicy wings and you can tell they were freshly fried. Cajun seasoning was pretty satisfying Enjoyed my girl dinner here w/ friends, would come again xoxo read more

Go on Wednesdays for an amazing happy hour deal! $5 espresso martinis! They are batched, but if you are someone like me who prefers them less esspresso forward this is perfect. read more

Came here for a happy hour with an organization. The bar is pretty narrow with not much seating. The noise level was very loud and I couldn't hear any one talking so I wound up leaving early. The org put out some apps that I tried, including the pizza. The pizza tasted like frozen pizza at the grocery store and not like New York pizza. I didn't get a drink because it was so crowded. The bathrooms are downstairs and require the use of stairs so they are not accessible if you have mobility concerns. The bar was clean so I'll give them credit for this. However, due to the dismal food and noise level, I don't think I'd come back. read more

This cute bar that I have passed alot but never stepped foot into was a place I finally tried last night as I was there for a holiday party. I did not try any if the food but what I saw looked tasty. I had seen the social media page for this bar and saw to try their Espresso Martini. So that is what I got. I must say very tasty a bit on the strong side, which is a good thing...Right?! They have some good beer selections too. I then had a Goose IPA. Their weekly specials are pretty good too. 4PM - 8PM MIXED WELL DRINKS $8.00 DRAFT BEER $7.00 BOTTLES $5.00 WINES $8.00 DAILY SPECIALS SUNDAY Happy Hour 4PM - CLOSE MONDAY Half price bottle of wine after 8PM TUESDAY $8 Margaritas and 1/2 off Apps with entrée ALL DAY WEDNESDAY $5 Espresso Martinis and free beer with burger purchase ALL DAY THURSDAY $5 Aperol Spritz ALL DAY I will have yet to come back on a Wednesday and take part in 5.00 Espresso Martinis!!!

A good spot if you're in the area. Great happy hour deals with selected wines, cocktails and beers. Food was decent as well. We enjoyed the buffalo chicken sliders. We also ordered the rigatoni and Caesar salad. They were generous with the amount of Parmesan! read more

great waffle fries. great happy hour deals and specials. the espresso martinis were pretty watered down but expected for $5.

Came here on a Thursday night to grab some food and drinks, but arrived a little bit too late for food. Bartender was super nice and tried to help me find places I can find food, but I opted to just stay and get a drink. Can't remember for the life of me what I got, but it had coffee and whipped cream in it, and was super delicious. Bartender was super friendly and nice but also considerate enough to catch on that I just wanted to be left alone. Overall a nice place, would definitely drop by again! read more

Linen Hall has character. It is a very decent bar that you can grab a drink or order a meal. The server staff and bartenders were enthusiastic and chatty. For bar food you can get a decent burger. I thought the fries that came with it were worth every calorie. I was hoping my beer would wash any calories completely away. This is a fun bar with a good mix of people. read more

My friend suggested we try Linen Hall as it was near her apartment and we were extra enticed by the happy hour. We called ahead and got a reservation, which I highly recommend, and got a table outside. The tables were a good size but fairly close to each other. However I really enjoyed the overall vibe of the inside/outside set up and the floral elements sprinkled throughout the restaurant. I ordered the Mezzi Rigatoni and the Sweet Like Sugar cocktail. The drink was full of flavor and I loved the sugar rim but definitely on the stronger side. The pasta was absolutely to die for! The texture of the pasta coupled with the tangy sauce made for a delightful pairing. The chicken was tender and juicy and overall this dish was absolutely amazing. Our waitress did a great job giving us space to have dinner and chat while still being attentive. The menu can be a bit on the higher side but they have an AMAZING happy hour! Overall I highly recommend this restaurant for happy hour and an amazing pasta dish. read more

Loved this place! Came here for my birthday, and it was so great! I was here for dinner. I was in the area, and found this place. I ordered a hamburger (Linen Burger), and it was so good! This restaurant is super cute and cozy, too. There were lots of people just hanging out at the bar drinking. There is also outdoor seating as well. The burger I had was amazing and delicious. I'm so glad I came here! I would definitely come back here again. This is in a super convenient area and the service was great, as well. read more

Great happy hour deals with a nice staff. Much better service and drinks than penny farthing next door. Also feels more intimate and chill rather than a beer hall vibe. Got the steak flatbread which was actually decent! Would come back. read more

Great burger but an uninspired list of beers on tap. Nice but only somewhat attentive bartender. She was also not the sharpest. (She asked a friend what half of $19 was and then argued that it wasn't $9.50.) I'd go back if in the neighborhood and in need of a quick meal, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again. read more

Linen has been my home base for the last 3 years. Different occasions where I've come here: - First dates on week nights - Date nights on week nights - Happy hour with friends in the summer, sitting outside in the warm weather - Happy hour (all night) with friends on a Sunday night - Dessert on a Sunday afternoon It's situated right next to Penny and there's a door that connects the two businesses. I usually order disco fries during happy hour to go with the wine. It keeps me full for a couple of hours and then I can go for a proper dinner. Wines during happy hour are $5/$6. The only issue is that it gets REALLY noisy and you need to half-yell to be heard. But on week nights it's quiet and relaxed. As long as I'm still in the same neighborhood, I will be coming back. read more

Came here for a private event where the entire place was booked out. The place was bumping, the attendees were having a great time, and I satisfied my hunger and got my fair share of drinks. The bartenders where very pleasant to interact with. They were very tentative to everyone and helpful with suggestions. The food they had out were good, despite it being catering style. Some of the highlights included Disco Fries, Dry Rubbed Chicken Wings, Beef Sliders, and Chicken & Mozzarella Sandwich just to name a few. Overall a great time and would be interested to see what this place is like when there isn't a private event. read more

Second-rate American food and drink spot with spacious seating to easily stop by for a quick visit but nothing unique enough to require you to go in. $15 a dish/drink. 3.25/5 stars as a lunch spot. read more

I'm so glad this place's overall rating has gone from a 3.5 to a 4. Been here three times within 6 months for good reason; Linen Hall has variety, quality, a nice atmosphere, and a convenient location. I spend a little over $18 including tip and tax every time I go, and that's only because I always order steak and 2 eggs any style. The steak is a little chewy for medium rare, but well spiced. Overall it's quite filling. Brunch at least also comes with a free drink (I quite enjoy their orange juice!), and though orders usually take about 20 minutes to arrive, service is pleasant and you get a large bottle of water so that you can refill yourself as needed. After trying the French toast and a couple of other dishes, I would dare to order anything. Seriously. read more

I what a nice surprise. Food was fresh and tasty. Dry rub wings about as good as any bar b que place. Lemon chicken was tender hot and flavorful. And the potatoes mashed perfect and sprouts cooked tender and with perfect seasoning. Do not miss the baked cauliflower. I think they were capers mixed in. A nice surprise taste. The staff was short handed and working hard and as fast as they could. Totally appreciated their effort. On my return list. If you are looking for atmosphere this is NOT the place. I don't pay for atmosphere. Bob read more

My husband and I were staying nearby and looking for a place to watch the second half of the Eagles game. The first bar we walked into was packed, so we revised plans and came across Linen Hall. It's attached to The Penny Farthing, its sister restaurant. That place seemed to be a little more crowded and Linen Hall, but the latter had a decent crowd at the bar and a few tables of people who were afternoon brunching. We grabbed the last two bar seats and perused the menu. There were brunch and lunch options available. There was only one bartender, and she was super sweet, but it made for slower service. Brunch entrees were all fairly basic, but I loved that they came with a complimentary brunch cocktail - yes! The bloody mary was simple but did the trick. I opted for the breakfast burrito which was a perfect size - not too big, not too small - and came with a side of home fries with lots of peppers and onions. My husband had chicken parmesan sliders which he enjoyed, and waffle fries which he luckily shared. I tried a mezcal/tequila cocktail with grapefruit and really liked it - I ordered a second, in fact. The second had a teeny tiny fruit fly that had made its way into the drink. Not the best find but easy enough to flick out. I don't know that I'd go out of my way for a meal here, but certainly wouldn't be opposed to one. The bar was great for football watching since there were multiple TVs and games being shown. It was also far less crowded than other sports bars in the area. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon! read more

Great happy hour special and super tasty tacos! Came here for a happy hour with my coworkers and we definitely took advantage of the happy hour specials. A few rounds of drinks later and we got pretty hungry so we all ordered some disco fries and tacos to fill our bellies and avoid a hangover the next day. It's not too packed but it's also not completely which is good. Definitely a good date spot or I hear there branch is tasty as well. I will definitely be back! read more

Came in here with my girlfriend for quick bites and some happy hour drinks before a night out. We ordered disco fries and the steak and potato flatbread. Both were solid picks. Disco fries were waffle fries with cheese and gravy - how can you go wrong with that? The flatbread was nice and crispy with mashed potato, a whole steak, cheese and truffle oil on top. Weird combination and structure but it worked. Steak, truffle oil and cheese was just a flavor bomb. Happy hour drinks were at a good price considering this is New York City. The waitress was also very kind and attentive. read more

Update! NEVER AGAIN Used to be my go-to cool spot. Great food and service. At recent brunch, waited with my friend for 17 minutes while the 2 bartenders talked. And we were SITTING at the bar. Ordered poached eggs, and they came back like albumen mucous. This was my friend's garnish: read more

Would leave zero stars if I could. Refused entry based on (seasonal) attire despite having a reservation. No notice of the policy when the reservation was made. No excuse for this ridiculous discrimination. It's not like this is a high-class establishment. Absolutely disgusting. Will never patronize this restaurant or The Penny Farthing. read more

A little late in writing this review, but came here for brunch a few days ago for the first time. I was more than surprised by the food, ambience and the service! We ordered the avocado toast and the burger. The avocado toast was cooked to perfection. Two warm pieces of toast (with a perfect crust with just the right amount of olive oil) with quite a large helping of avocado with a perfectly poached egg on top. It was delicious!! Made to perfection! The burger was outstanding as well, classic burger and was extremely tasty as well. The table next to us ordered the mac and cheese which looked fabulous as well - will definitely be back to try that! The ambience was relaxing and the bar was pretty cool too. Good place to come with just about anybody - friends / family / date! The staff was friendly and attentive as well. A great experience and definitely added to my list of repeats! read more

We walked into Linen Hall because of convenience and a solid menu of choices. The restaurant was relatively empty on a Saturday evening - assuming the crowd shows up for late night drinks or brunch, instead. We were seated far in the back - this made us feel like we weren't really in a restaurant, but off in a corner aside form the bar. A bit strange, but the candlelit ambiance helped cancel it out. I ordered the steak frites ($24) - pepper crusted NY strip, market salad, hand cut fries. The fries were great, salad average, and the steak was well-cooked. Not the best steak I've had, but did the trick. Overall, good place to eat with good food and service. Nothing special, but nice choice if conveniently located. read more

On a rainy Saturday morning, Janice treks through the wet weather into Union Square's Grey Dog. Unfortunately, there's about an hour wait for a table and she's starving. Quickly pulls out her iPhone and gets on the Yelp App and finds Linen Hall. Treads through more rain and ends up on 3rd Avenue and immediately has made the best decision of the week. Linen Hall brunch is the place you want to eat, post-crazy Friday nights. Coming in, it looked so fancy. It's January so all the elaborate Christmas decorations are still up. I was certainly expecting crazy prices for brunch, but I trusted in Yelp. And boy was I right, the brunch is under $15 and for that, you get so much. The classic steak and eggs literally includes steak, eggs, toast, salad, and a drink (alcoholic or caffeinated - your pick!). I had ordered the smoked salmon Eggs Benedict - which was the best thing I could have eaten that weekend. The hollandaise was so perfect, the poached egg cooked to perfection, and of course, you can't go wrong with smoked salmon. There was also a side salad - very tasty with light dressing, and home fries which were nicely seasoned with cooked peppers. Absolutely amazing place for brunch for a good price and good atmosphere. They also have a huge bar and an open space, which seems pretty good for the Union Square night life. I would only take off one star because it seemed like the waitress was a not interested in serving our food, taking our order, etc. She also had a bit of an attitude, but that doesn't take away from the great experience I had here in terms of the food. It came out quickly and made my rainy Saturday morning much better. read more

Pro's - great atmosphere, pretty comprehensive bar selection, and awesome disco waffle fries. Happy hour prices makes it actually not awful to buy a couple drinks in Manhattan. Con's - I had the tuna tacos and they we're pretty blah. Service wasn't the best either - once the place started to fill up a little bit we we're mostly ignored until the very end. If you want a place to grab drinks and appetizers after work, is definitely recommend this place. If you're eating dinner, I'd look elsewhere. read more

Came here for drinks after dinner and was pleased that it was ridiculously crowded and service was great. Easy to get a table or seat at the bar. Bartender was attentive and friendly but not overbearing. Drinks were priced reasonably, but their cocktail list is pretty standard -- no fancy speakeasy cocktails to swoon over. Music is mostly pop, but they do a good job starting the night off with some slower jams and then getting louder and more clubby as it gets late. I've had the sweet potato fries here, and they are divine -- super crispy (no mush and fully cooked inside), flavorful and comes out sizzling hot. Exactly the way sweet potato fries should be. read more

I love love love Linen Hall! Order the Steak & Potato flatbread. Best thing ever. Do it. Order it. You will not regret it. Beer battered onion rings and their disco waffle fries are The BOMB too.

Decent food, good prices. Came here for happy hour but didn't really get any happy hour drinks and got a cocktail off the menu. Their list of signature cocktails seemed a little outdated and had more of a fall/winter theme to it since it included a hot toddy, cider drinks, etc. Our server was pleasant and came to check on us a few times. For food, ordered the chicken mozzarella sandwich which wasnt warm and left much to be desired. Just a cold chicken sandwich. Fries were excellent though. Overall a decent spot in the area. read more

Came here both before AND after a show. Interesting bar, with a little something for everybody - diverse beer selections ranging from basic to craft-y and a pretty decent wine list. Quieter and more welcoming than its sister bar next door, The Penny Farthing, which just seemed too young, loud and rich for us lot of crotchety old NYers. Ordered one round and a side of fries (which were excellent) before our show. The bartender asked for a card "just to start a tab," and told us we could pay however we wanted. Seconds after we said we didn't want another round, out came the bill with the card charged, which was a bit awkward given that there were six of us and were planning to split it. But oh well, mistakes happen. Laziness, osmosis, simple lack of creativity... whichever it was, a few of us wound up coming back after the show. I unfortunately forgot the GW Bush mantra "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me... won't get fooled again," because again, after specifically clarifying that we didn't want the card charged, after 2 rounds, the bartender came back with a charged card for my friend to sign when no one had even asked for the bill. Decent place, but I really feel like the ability to determine method of payment of my own volition is an important attribute, and didn't appreciate their inability to grant us this privilege. read more

My socks weren't blown off, but I also didn't leave dissatisfied. Came for a friend's birthday to get a few drinks. (Not the most affordable) The space is cozy and intimate. Drinks were standard. Service I have to say was outstanding though. The bartender was on top of her shit! Super nice and attentive. I did drunkenly get the nachos, which were my favorite part of the night. They were everything I needed. I would come back to try more food, but probably not for drinks. I recommend for an intimate date night. 3.5/5 read more
