An outdoor patio with black bar stools, planters with greenery, and string lights hanging from wooden posts.

Overall rating: 4.6 I've been here a handful of times & just writing a review. Great spot for solo, dates, friends and sometimes the occasional comedian show. I went on a Saturday and it skews a lot younger than I remember, but admittedly the last time I've been was maybe 4 years prior.

A woman performs on stage in a small venue with red curtains, speakers, and stage lighting, while an audience watches.

Phenomenal frozen margs. We loved our bartender, she was great and kept us filled before the comedy show! Burger, chicken sandwich, and fries tasted delicious and came out quickly from kitchen.

This review is for the comedy shows that take place in the basement of Union Hall. They host comedy nights with a low cover and no minimum on food or drinks. Our friend suggested we check out a new show, WAR, starring some SNL folks. We made our way over to the quiet neighborhood. You would never assume a stand up show was being performed at this bocce ball bar. However, if you go towards the back, there are stairs which lead you to the basement. WAR was hilarious. The Moscow Mule was a nice treat ($10 for a small glass) but it did the job. They didn't offer food which I was disappointed with at first. However, after seeing the seating situation, you probably wouldn't want to be holding a platter of poutine anyway. All in all, the night was filled with lots of laughter and a good time.

Been here multiple times recently for comedy shows downstairs (came for a Jena Friedman set, and then another Ilana Glazer set)...and have to say this along with The Bell House, are my favorite venues in the area (not the biggest fan of Littlefield). The upstairs bar has comfy couches where you can chill and have a conversation, or you can play bocce ball in the back. The place can get pretty busy at times, but the space is large enough to never feel cramped. Downstairs is typically where the shows are at. It's quite small and intimate, so you can get up close to the performers. They have a small bar downstairs, which is convenient so you don't have to go back upstairs for drinks. Love the laid back vibe here, and don't be surprised if you find well known comedians testing out material. Lots of talented local comedians who open here are great - last time there was this comedian with a whole bit about Olmsted (the restaurant, not the architect). Talk about hyper local humor! The guy had me rolling. Because comedians are testing material here, don't be surprised if they lock away your cell phones in these little magnet devices/pouches during the show. Nice chill, bar to hang out at, and a great venue downstairs for checking out your favorite comedians!

"Nachos". Yes the "salsa" is just slices of tomatoes.

Great atmosphere, comfy couches, cool bookshelves and bocce ball. BUT we got "nachos" and instead of salsa it came with slices of tomato. What even is this???

Live shows downstairs and very comfortable bar with indoor bocce on the first floor. Union Hall manages to pack a lot into a relatively small area. The downstairs room is small but most of the shows are very high quality. The first floor bar area is filled with couches and comfortable chairs.

They had a bunch of collabs with other breweries so their taps were filled with wonderful selection of cool beers. I got here when it opened grabbed a seat at the bar. I didn't catch her name but the bartender was super nice and we chatted a bit. This bar has two tvs in the bar area and some tables in the back. It also has an outdoor area which I did not get to check out unfortunately. The only downside is, is that there is no food served here. But the upside is that you can get free Pop-corn! If you have not been here before, I would suggest stopping by. By the way whoever does their social media is super great!

But the reason I keep coming back - the sheer selection of incredible and unique beers (and reasonably priced for that manner!). Everything from the desthil spicy sour pickle beer to many variations to le chouffe, you can't go wrong! Oh and they have free popcorn as well... tough to pass up! Service has always been friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. I can already see myself back there for the next time I'm craving some delicious craft beer!

I chose this place because I had visited a few times in the past and expected a positive environment. While there, I ran into an old friend who was accompanying individuals with special needs. They informed us about the R&B karaoke event, and we attempted to participate respectfully and supportively. Unfortunately, after participating, the DJ became rude and dismissive. My friends decided not to continue because each time they attempted to request a song, the DJ was unkind and impatient, seemingly unaware--or unconcerned--that they were individuals with special needs. The situation escalated when I attempted to calmly address the disrespect. Instead of listening, the bartender repeatedly accused me of being drunk simply because I was defending myself after a rude comment. I was not intoxicated; I was advocating for respectful treatment. Even the DJ's own companion appeared visibly shocked by the comment made toward me, as if anticipating a reaction. I remained composed and professional despite being deeply upset. What disappointed me most was the staff's decision to defend the DJ's behavior rather than acknowledge how inappropriate and disrespectful the interaction was. This reflects poorly on how this establishment treats people--especially those who deserve patience, understanding, and dignity. I came expecting an enjoyable brunch experience and left feeling ashamed for having trusted this place. It is clear that the venue prioritizes protecting mediocre DJs with minimal local popularity over treating customers with basic respect. Poor organization, lack of proper event management, and unprofessional staff behavior made this experience unacceptable. I have visited many establishments and have never felt so disrespected. I will not be returning.

The venue is pretty spacious they have a back dining area, a big bar when you enter and a full bar upstairs. There's a ton of televisions if you are watching sports as well. They have a pretty deep beer menu which I loved. The food menu is Irish influenced bar bites. We had the wings which were nice and crispy. The center of attention was the waffle fries nachos. You can't go wrong with a potato vehicle to fresh toppings. All and all great fun spot for sports and gatherings. Also this is a melting pot. Various ages, groups, backgrounds, saw a few families. All are welcome. One flaw is St. Patty it appeared that our waiter who was superb was the only one working so it was a bit of chase to close out.

Solid Irish pub....i have only been here at lunch (I don't go out at night much if I'm not blowing…read moretrumpet at a gig or rehearsal). In general, I like the mellow / peaceful vibes of outer borough NYC Irish pubs at lunchtime. McMahon's did not disappoint. Solid buffalo chicken wings & good burger. I am also post fries (I will try one or two of yours, but I don't need an order of fries for myself.), so can't comment on the fries. They also make a mean Caesar salad. The Caesar & buffalo wings are pretty much my metric for all Irish pubs. McMahon's would def be in the upper 50th percentile. There are a bunch of negative reviews for this spot on here for when they are very busy, on Barclays Center game nights and / or weekends. I feel like, if you read between the lines, it's people coming in groups when it's busy acting entitled. The staff at lunch has been nothing but courteous, w/ excellent service. Also, very clean inside, & food was good quality / fresh ingredients. There are almost no Irish pubs in this area open for lunch anymore at all - thank goodness this is a good one!
