    Halloween

    Halloween begins at the Brazen Head, 228 Atlantic Avenue. Great craft beers, come enjoy!

    Love the owner and the staff here (I won't name names - can't show favoritism, they're all great! ), as well as the daytime regulars. They have a great selection of beers including some really good non-alcoholic ones from Athletic Brewing Company. The free bagels on Sundays are great too. Also, be sure to check out the sidewalk sign, usually good for a laugh.

    lulu is my faborite bartender - so sweet and so funny. lulu makes the brazen head a second home

    Came here with a page out of the Brooklyn Pub Pass. The Brazen Head is the textbook definition of a "neighborhood watering hole." It was filled with locals taking advantage of the happy hour specials and complimentary cheese and crackers set up towards the back. The bar is known for its rotating snack availability to patrons and its stellar drink menu. We've all seen bars that offer board games to customers during their stay, but books? That's a new one. The BH had a stand of books by the entrance for its customers to flip through while they imbibe. This is an introvert's dream! Their beer menu is very crafty, and they also have a decent spirit and wine menu as well. They have a selfie station in the back where you're able to use props and tag the Brazen Head on your social media posts. They also have a dart board which is where I spent most my night last night. The BH has cozy couches in all 4 corners of the establishment. They also have outdoor seating for when it gets warm. Aside from the complimentary finger foods, they have potato chips and goldfish available for purchase at the bar. If all fails, you can always bring in food from outside. The service was warm, welcoming, and fast. I can see why it's such a popular hangout spot. I would definitely return when I'm in the area.

They've only got two bocce lanes, so just a heads up, if it's a busier night or you're going during peak hours, you might be waiting a bit. But on normal weeknights, it's totally doable to walk in, grab a drink, and play without any stress. It's very laid-back in the best way. Downstairs, they host comedy shows and other performances, which makes it such a fun multipurpose hangout. People usually grab a drink and chill upstairs while waiting for their show to start, and it creates this really nice, social energy without feeling chaotic. Overall, Union Hall is a quaint neighborhood staple, great drinks, fun games, and a little bit of that old-school local charm. Perfect for a casual night out or something a little different from the usual bar scene.

Everything was offered as one or two ounces pours, so you could sample a bunch or relish exclusive bottles. I had one ounce of the Lucky Thirteen for $15. I typically see the bottle at a $200-$300 price point, so it was nice to get a taste without the huge splurge. Wonderful aroma. Sweet and vanilla forward reminding me of marshmallows. Sweet corn flavor too eventually switching over to more spicy flavors from the run in the late flavor and during the finish. Staff was quick, friendly, and helpful. There was one single occupancy restroom. Dynamic atmosphere. Huge sprawling windows allowing plenty of breeze and sunlight when opened.

The vibes are classy with an entire wall of bottles lit up for a nice ambiance. Since we had our pup with us, we sat in the patio. I ordered the Rye Tea Punch ($16) while the boyfriend got the 10 Year Old Fashioned ($16). It was so cute how my drink came in a little clear teacup, which was a nice touch. The only thing that was disappointing was the slow service. We had asked for the check, but it never came around after waiting 15 minutes. We had reservations to get to, so the delay was annoying. I ended up walking up to the bartender to close out the tab since we never got our check.

Considering the additional procedure and how long the line was, it moved relatively quickly. It was also easy to get our phone unlocked at the end of the night. We were seated in section 223. Despite being in the nosebleeds, we had a great view of both stages and could see all of the lighting and visuals from there. The seats are a bit cramped in terms of leg space, but I was comfortable enough for most of the show. I could also hear the artist well from my seat. I'd definitely visit again for another concert.

I was lucky enough to get my large bag in, they do check all the bags, large and small. I recommend bringing less items. I was coming from work so I had a laptop with me, but cleared everything else in the bag and left them in the office, so it's not too bad to go through the securities. They did say not to bring large bags in the emails before the concert, but since i went after work and will be working from home the next day, I didn't want to have to head into the office, so I kind of just tried it and was glad I got through since they weren't too strict that day. I did hear from my friend that her friend had to pay $15 for someone to watch the bag for Ariana's concert before, so I guess it just depends on the concert. Overall, I had a good time and enjoyed the concert (and was super lucky to get a seat upgrade). Great vibes, cool space and nice crowd.
