Great service and their kitchen closes at 11ishh which is later than most places so this was super clutch. The Sanger hall burger was tasty along with the fries (do not reheat). The environment is nice also, it's the live music for me, I'll forever love that. My one gripe is that they don't have BBQ sauce but they have chicken tenders :(((( you can tell if they did serve bbq sauce, it would slap! Def stop by read more

This is my second review, just had their burger and fries, and I am so disappointed. They did away with the best thing on their menu, their "smash burger", why touch their signature dish? Also did away with their chipotle bbq sauce and their sweet potato fries! Their burger now you can get anywhere, no longer special, too bad, maybe it's a money thing but, I don't feel the need to ever go back! Sorry... read more

Cute little bar with a great Happy Hour. Select beers are $5, well drinks $8, Rosé $7, and margaritas is $10. But the best part is they have a huge order of salchipapas for $8! The fries are so crisp and they come with a bunch of sauces. HH is 4-8pm Monday to Friday. They also host a bunch of events, such as Trivia night. Their staff is so friendly and accomodating. Check out their small, but creative cocktail list. I'm not into rosemary, but their Rosemary Halltini is refreshing for the summer. read more

Sanger Hall - $8 salchipapas during Happy Hour - Burgers Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

Came to meet friends for the $12 burger & beer special on Tuesday, checked out early, but could have stayed for the fun of a comedic open mic night. Love that the burger option included the vegan burger, and one of the beer options for the special was a Blue Moon. Ambiance was relaxed before 7pm. Once the Open Mic got started, the crowd rolled it and it became a bit more bawdy and loud. Great neighborhood bar vibes- would definitely frequent if I were in the neighborhood. read more

I've been here a few Friday nights for trivia. Trivia is fun. The food is good, we've tried different things on the menu. Drinks are also good. The waiters sometimes forget pieces of our order and are eager to serve us the second one person shows up in the party. They have a bar room and a restaurant area. read more

Came here for comedy night which I found out happens monthly. It was very amateur but you have to start somewhere. That's how all those famous comedians got to where they are all at now. They have other nights such as trivia and open mic night. I went with no expectations and I must say the service was great and the bathroom was so clean (especially for a bar). I can only say how my specialty cocktail tasted which wasn't that great. I ordered the Jalapeño Watermelon Margarita. Yea, it had a kick to it like a spicy one. I should've expected it, but wish there was more watermelon inside of it. But I'll give them a benefit of the doubt since I didnt try their other cocktails. I'll probably go back again to try their food and another drink. read more

It's great but they don't have delivery! Pls consider being a part of Uber eats or something - please :)

A fun spot in Sunnyside, especially on Friday Nights. If you're like me and you're a trivia fan, this is your place on Fridays at 8pm (grab a seat early, cause it gets busy if you want to be in the front). The trivia is fun, staff is pretty on top of things, and its all good drinks and vibes. I haven't had the food here so I can't say much to that, but the general vibe here is fun and I look forward to coming back. I've passed by this bar a few times and see Drag Queens in there so I assume they have some Drag comedy nights here, which sound like fun to me! read more

I've been coming to Sanger Hall on and off for bar trivia for a few years at this point, and it's always been a pretty good time. Friday nights the place is popping off, with a pretty busy bar in the front and a stacked room in the back. Service is oftentimes a bit slow, as there's just a lot of customers on Friday nights. That being said, the cocktails and meals here are much better than your standard bar food. The veggie burger in particularly is a pretty big standout, and I usually stick to an Old Fashioned or some form of gin cocktail (pictured here). Any bar with egg white cocktails on the menu is a good time in my book! read more

Lets start with the food. I patronized this place when it first opened. The hamburgers were of a good size. Not too big, not sliders like white castle. They had the crispy onions with the "special sauce," and perfectly cooked patty, and the appropriately sized, light buns. Decent fries. Not mentioning the stupid digital interface with customers, which is bad. Meaning only online service, grub hub, or other delivery services skimming off of you because the establishment doesn't want to absorb the delivery fee. So you pay more. Normal for today's restaurants, I suppose. Not only are they anti-non digital customer, but they hire idjits and don't care about anything other than what's going on inside (beer sales and bingo nights). No phone service because that means the staff needs to think on their feet. Too much to ask for, I suppose. I can't order and go pick up. I have to go there and wait. The waitstaff don't really know anything other than slinging beer. They offer a saturday brunch burger, but fail to tell customers that they offer that. On saturday. I went in on a saturday and they said "no burgers today." Ignoring the brunch burger. But who the hell stops serving burgers on weekends at a burger joint?!!? What kind of backwards business plan is that? I mentioned this to them and I get a convoluted email from the manager who obviously either didn't understand or was deflecting. Now? The burgers are overdone, a tiny amount of crispy onions, and the buns are larger and more dense; Very bready. The first time I got a burger after the "change" the bun was 50% larger than the meat patty. Mouthful of nothing but bun and mayo along with a small sprinkling of shredded lettuce on a burger? Now they just flatten the burger to make it wider, and the price has changed accordingly. Meaning more expensive. The food is average at best. Not exactly what you want from a non-chain burger joint. Ambiance? For a dive bar? Has zero character. I preferred the old Horgan's on Qns Blvd. Even the place across the street has more character. And they serve their food on wood boards. The burgers aren't good. Period. You'd be better off getting one from Shake Shack on Qns Blvd/ 48th. Their burgers aren't great, but they sure are better than Sanger Hall. read more

It's been awhile since I went back to Sanger and I've gone twice in the last month. The brunch has solid options and wow, this place is underrated for the burgers and wings. Their wings are perfectly fried and sauced (no rubbery wings here) and the burgers are so delicious though they only come with double patties. I'm a single patty gal b/c after some point, the burger becomes unwieldy and it's just a hot mess of a burger. Also, we have to talk about their sweet potato fries! THE BEST! It's not soggy and their perfectly crispy. It's my go-to though the regular fries are the perfect thin kind...decisions...decisions.... Separately, all the themed events they throw are super inclusive and looks like a lot of fun. I haven't made it to one yet but I'm looking forward to it. read more

This place is so much fun. I came with friends last night and we participated in Friday night trivia. We had some amazing drinks and food, paired with a stellar ambiance and service! I ordered the Herbalist, while my friends had the frozen pink. We ordered some plates including the Fried Shrimp & Tostones, Sanger Dog and Veggie Flatbread to share. The food was all delicious, well seasoned and served piping hot (which I am hyper critical of and never expect in a bar). This will be a regular hangout moving forward. read more

Trivia night. Good luck beating the regulars. Great burger. Actually one of the best in NYC. I just wished they didn't use so much disposable stuff. Buy some metal plates if you're worried about the dishwasher breaking them. read more

I rarely go to bars, but when I have an itch, I make an effort to go to Sanger Hall -- Wednesdays late afternoon is my sweet time. Obsessed with the wings and beer combo! I always get the lemon pepper wings + UFO White (currently for $13; used to be $10, but can't complain). The main two bartenders I see there are nothing but kind. They ensure you have everything without constantly checking in. Music is a little odd once in a blue moon, but it's usually a mix of alt/rock/indie/irish-folk. Also, Wednesdays they host a group of people who gather just to play Irish folk music! So cute. Lots of other great events, too :) read more

Come to Sanger Hall for the great food and drinks at good prices. I wish they had better service on Friday nights during trivia. The last few weeks, it's taken my two-top about ten minutes to get greeted. Then there hasn't been any warmth from the server, no "Welcome", "How are you?". Be sure that you have your order ready when the server comes by otherwise you won't see them for another 10+ minutes while they're taking care of other tables. During the most recent visit I wasn't able to get a second drink during the 90-minute visit because the server wasn't attentive and didn't notice my drink was empty. The rating would be higher if servers were attentive and welcoming. read more

I had so much fun my visit to Sangar Hall one summer Sunday afternoon that I stayed well into the night, when even more fun came on via a carry-your-key ( karaoke) show. It's an all genders and whichever pronouns you identify with are welcome so come in your fanciest ball gown with your six inch lashes or like me your tank and flip-flops spot. I love it!!! Some of the show ladies were even nice enough to snap pics with me. Such an easy, breezy, wonderfully chilled staff. Its a pub/lounge but I was told they have a lot of shows and dances so I definitely wanna go back. I totally recommend here! The End. read more

This is my second time here and the food is good. I ordered the truffle burger. It was messy and the cheese was oozing out but it was delicious. I love the sweet potato fries and the whole meal went perfectly with the beer. Great place to be for comedy shows if you're in the area! read more

Loved the service. They were so so so nice. Everyone was sweet and enjoyable to talk to. They were amazing. Now the part I need to be honest even though I loved the service. Food was ... meh at the best. Ordered chicken and waffles, for the price, quality was just not there. I'm not used to seeing chicken and waffles like that... I was sad that food was not up to par. But please don't let my judgement not to go there. Burgers might be great. Maybe I just orders the wrong thing on the menu. We also had mimosas, for brunch 2 for 1, great deal. Ambience was nice. Roomy. It looks more Thursdays, Fridays late night drinks and bar food place than brunch like we tried. read more

I've been to this place many a times. It's a cool place to go on a friday night and play trivia hosted by Pedar from NYC Trivia League. I havent tried the mixed drinks but there a decent beer list. Probably about 10 on draft and more in cans/bottles. The ambience is very chill and relaxing. During the evening it can get loud and the main bar area is small so it can get very packed. The connecting room isnt that packed except maybe when theres trivia. read more

Came here for trivia, which is on a Friday here. I always love a good weekend trivia. The bar is separated into two halves, one with the bar, and a second room with more tables (and a smaller bar, which wasn't open the night we were here). We arrived and tried to get a table on the second side, which was full. A worker saw us looking for a table, and rolled out a half-picnic table for just us. It was an interesting and very efficient way to get more people seated with tables, and also made us feel like we were the commentators on the bar, since we had a half table facing the rest of the bar. Drinks are decently priced, happy hour goes til late-ish, I'd be back if I am back in the area. read more

This place is such a great place for a meetup. Situated in the heart of Skillman Ave in Sunnyside, this restaurant offers not only food and drinks, they have amazing events every day. My friends and I joined their weekly Friday trivia and I must say, it's pretty awesome!! Winners get prizes too as I believe they're sponsored by NY Trivia. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The food here is so good especially their special burger! Prices are okay! The burger with price was about $13.00 which wasn't too bad!!! My family and I are so happy to have found this gem!! read more

Great neighborhood bar. Pretty good beer selections, great cocktail list, and they do special weekly theme nights, including trivia and live music. They have a full food menu too, but I wasn't hungry. They have poutine! The space is nice, and there's a side room for private events or music. Bartender was friendly. All around good time. read more

I just ate at this restaurant. The bartender was great. The food was fine, though the fries had too much crap on them and not enough fries. Unfortunately, this is the worst place to experience harassment as a female-reading person. A man grabbed my shoulder and called me "honey." I asked him to stop touching me and tried to de-escalate the conversation. He and his date kept changing the story as to why he had touched me and why it was an accident. They would not leave me alone after multiple attempts to ends the conversation. I finally told him to shut the f*** up. He was interrupting my meal and seemed fixated on convincing me I hadn't been manhandled. The minute I told him to stop he got in my face, started physically threatening me, and told me he had played in the NBA (because this was at all relevant to the conversation). The manager came over and only listened to this very angry shouting man and his date, both of whom were claiming that, living in New York, being told to "shut the f*** up" was the worst insult they had ever heard. The manager paid for their full check, even as they both continued to scream at me and physically threaten me in loud voices. After they left, the manager came to my table and told me that I shouldn't have escalated things by telling him to stop. When I tried to calmly explain why that wasn't okay, he started in with sarcasm and derision. It was a horrible night punctuated by me crying in public because the staff at this restaurant had no interest in protecting me. My party (also of two) was charged for our full meal. Food probably deserves three stars but holy cow this is not a place that handles sexual harassment of customers well. As you can see from the restaurant's response below, the other customer's persistent harassment was an "apology" and my demand that the persistent harassment stop was apparently not acceptable. The manager did not think quickly; he allowed a customer to repeatedly threaten violence toward another customer in his presence and then scolded the customer who was threatened, which they are doing again in their response to this review. Then the manager came to the table and made sarcastic comments at me rather than showing concern for my well-being and safety. They clearly have no interest in changing or making an effort to make customers who are touched without their consent on their premises feel comfortable or safe in their restaurant. It appears that they would prefer to insist on a false narrative of events that they were not present for. I guess this is a great place to go if you like to harass people and then scream at them when they tell you to stop! That's a demographic that needs service, too??? I guess??? read more

Walked in with my wife and her uncle on a Saturday afternoon. They were nice enough to open the other door for his wheel chair. There is no table service but they went out of there way to come to us. Nice place nice people good food ! I wrote this before we even finished. read more

Sanger Hall could be great...IF they were family friendly. Bartender, Scotty, came in and yelled at parents and kids "This isn't a f'ing Discovery Zone, we cant have kids running around!" Our kids were already being scolded by their parents. I ask for the check because I was very uncomfortable and he proceeds to yell at me waving his fInger in my face. Newsflash, every person in the bar at 4pm was a parent who lives in Sunnyside, so you might want to reconsider who your clientele is if you want to stay I in business. Last time I checked you needed $ to pay your bills and staff. The last time i was there was Aug when my husband played a gig there, and we packed the bar with our friends and family on a Sat night, and 90% of the customers that night were my friends. I don't think you're doing well enough to act like a complete lunatic. I won't be back. I hope the next owner will be more famIly friendly because you won't be in business long. #ripsangerhall read more

Tried this place out for the first time the other night and was really happy we did! Had the pickled martini, which was awesome. We each tried a different burger and I gotta say, we loved every bite. The pork burger was really tasty. And the fries topped with all kinds of goodies were great too. Staff was very nice and service was perfect. Will be back. read more

I was so happy to see them back in business after closing for few months due to covid19. Whenever we went here the bartenders were always super nice and chill. I like their selection of music and beers they have. They dont have those crazy loud atmosphere like the other bars across them but more chill and hip. I really hope they stay in business as long as possible! read more

Love this new location hot spot. Very cozy and chill atmosphere. The owners both seem to be great people. One is a friendly local community guy who put his heart and soul into building this beautiful place. The other is an equally dedicated lady with a passion and love for the spot. She is also the head chef. I highly recommend this place for either dinner or drinks with a small group of friends. read more

Please push back on me if you think I should increase this review to four stars. I may be being unfair by not giving it four. Why it's good: - Friendly, sexy male bartenders. - Pounding club music. (You can put two and two together, in terms of both these items.) Now, as it happens, I don't value either of those things. I'm a fan of sexy female bartenders and non-pounding non-club music. But others may value them, and I don't want to be a jerk and not give them credit just because I don't value them. (Decades ago, I saw a TV movie reviewer preface his negative review of a new Star Trek movie by saying something like, "Now, I should say, I hate "Star Trek." That's always stuck with me.) - Decent/fine food. Competent, no complaints. I haven't had the burger or the fries everyone raves about. I have no reason to doubt that those compliments are deserved. So why only three stars? Because, of all the nice little bar/restaurants lining this stretch of Skillman Avenue, they're the only one I'm aware of that requires you to either pay immediately or give them a credit card the moment you sit at the bar, regardless of whether you're only having a drink/drinks, or ordering food. This may seem like a trivial thing, but it's a real violation of the Sunnyside (and particularly Sunnyside Gardens) ethos, an unwelcome importation of cold, untrusting Manhattan culture. This is a wonderful neighborhood. Many people who don't know one another well run into one another with some frequency, and know one another's names. Many people have been here for decades; newcomers are greeted with open arms, welcomes to the neighborhood, bought drinks and wished well. If you look at my other reviews, I think you'll see that I don't make a habit of going after businesses for trivial or invalid reasons. (I really enjoy giving good reviews, and don't enjoy giving bad ones.) But as I said at the top, let me know if you think I'm being a crank on this issue, and unfair to the establishment. read more
