Venue was awesome. Love the board game concept. Games at every table makes it a very fun place to eat. Staff was great but overwhelmed. For what I saw the manager on duty was not willing to help. Just keeped seating people down and didn't ever help the only person working the floor with drink orders. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was due to the management. He even calculated the gratuity incorrectly. Upgrade needed in that department.

The perfect place, bur the education of the person who is controlling the entrance, terrible. He came with bad manners to say that he couldn't sleep when I only closed my eyes for a second without sleeping (because my head hurt) while our food and drink came.a little respect and education towards people.

I had the worst experience here. I'm so disappointed because the manager was extremely unprofessional as well as the waitress. She rolled her eyes every time she came to our table complained and sighed. This is completely not funny

Fun games but horrible service from the man checking IDs/seating us to having to wait an hour before putting in our drink order. Then it still took another 30+ minutes for 2 drinks. Didn’t have a chance to order food either. They also need new connect 4 pieces, these looked dirty.

Great venue, good beer, nasty manager. Go if you don’t mind being verbally accosted for sitting someplace that is “reserved” but isn’t labeled as reserved. The guy yelled at me (during a work call) and my wife separately but couldn’t be bothered to put up a sign.

Loved it and will surely be back!
The infamous grill cheese donut/bagel was amazing! My only suggestion is that they can give a bit more tomato soup. The pot barely had anything. The atmosphere is amazing and they have great menu to pick from.

I didn't get to go. The paper I had said reservations required and provided a number. They Never answered their phone (and I called various times), nor did they respond to voicemail messages. The deal Sounded nice, just sadly never got to see if it would live up to the description.

Beer selection and tap were good.

We're told happy hour all week long didn't include the weekend which was misleading and they also wouldn't let our large party of 20 ppl use two tables so I didn't order food but it looked awesome.

Def for smaller parties, 4-8 ppl max.

Came with 2 pulsd deals and it was a fun time. Pleasant surprise to see the fondue was in a cute pan, it lasted even after I was finished drenching the burger and fries in it. Had bottomless bellinis and mimosas. I liked the bellinis flavor more and my friends liked both about the same. One star off just because it took a little while to get the waitress's attention to ask for another round within our timeframe. They had a bunch of games but we just chatted.

We chose Clinton Hall for Secret Santa because we were looking for a place with boozy brunch, this location had pretty good reviews, it was a central meeting point, and there was also a Pulsd deal. Only 2/4 of us decided to get the Pulsd deal ($49 for two entrees and unlimited mimosas/bellinis), so it was nice that they let half the table use the deal, but you could also combine vouchers if you like.

We came in right before 12 since they don't accept brunch reservations and they weren't quite open yet. We also wanted to go early to avoid waiting and any crowds, especially because of Covid/Omicron, and we felt pretty safe, as it was really spacious. It did start getting more packed maybe half hour - hour before we left, but we were still far enough away from other tables.

For starters, we decided to get an app to share. We had the nachos and added beef to it. This was pretty lackluster. Everything was just kind of haphazardly thrown on there. All the melted cheese was on the bottom of the nachos (who does that?). The beef was also dry. There was also a sad little looking random scoop of guac.

For my main, I had the Fondue Burger, which is a burger on a pretzel bun, with a hole in the middle, and there are fries in that hole, but also an extra side of fries, and a little pot of fondue cheese on the side. If that sounded confusing, that's because it was. Perfect for IG, but not if you want a good burger. The only thing good about this was the pot of cheese and the pickle. It has potential but it just wasn't executed correctly. The patty was a bit dry (even though I asked for medium rare), and the fries were soggy, which I was so disappointed in because I LOVE me some cheese fries. Also, as I'm writing this review, I'm wondering what they do with the middle part of the burger.

My friend had the Doughnut Grilled Cheese, which comes on a hook over a cup of tomato soup. I tried a bite and it was actually not bad but I cannot imagine eating the hole thing as an entree - maybe to share? She agreed and couldn't finish it. Overall, it seems that the food is gimmicky and IG worthy, but doesn't actually taste that great.

Another friend ordered the philly cheesesteak, but it wasn't until they started bringing out the rest of our entrees did they tell her it was unavailable.

Drinks were standard brunch drinks - pretty sweet, but just a nice addition to the meal, especially if you're with a group. I did like that they had games and they didn't hold us to the time limit of the boozy brunch Pulsd deal (even though we stopped drinking within the "allotted time"), but they still let us hang out and play games. They have various board games and Jenga just happened to be at our table.

I probably wouldn't come back for actual entrees but I wouldn't mind trying again for games, drinks, and bar food.

The place was very lively. Plenty of seating and the staff was very pleasant. The food was ok. My wife found the place from an Instagram post and wanted to try it out since we were in the area. Kids had your basic burger (no kids menu) and cold french fries. I had the Bacon Bacon Bacon, it was very good and I also had the cold fries but still pretty good. My wife had the infamous Dounut grilled cheese and Tomato soup. Her meal was the last to come out, a grilled cheese sandwich last item to arrive. And half of the sandwich was floating in the soup. The waitress did apologize and replaced the order. Again the griled cheese took forever and arrived cold. The Instagram pictures of the sandwich had tons of cheese and long cheese pulls.the one she got look like it was one slice of cheese on it. She was really let down. Overall the great games and my favorite beer on tap made it a decent experience. We visited the Manhattan location, perhaps the others are better?

I made a rsvp for Dec 11th brunch with my team few days in advance, when I get there they say it’s fully booked for Santa con. They didn’t have the common courtesy to tell me my rsvp is canceled and no apology at all when I get their.

Why would someone accept rsvp if they know it’s booked for some other event. It was extremely embarrassing since I wanted to treat my team for good brunch and drinks.

Bad experience here. First off they ask for your card and to "hold" it while your there. I understand how bars work, but if it's a family sitting down to eat, it just doesn't sit well. My husband and daughter got their food and were almost done eating before I got mine and then when it came it was burnt horribly and they still served it to me that way. I did not eat dinner. I had to flag the server down several times, I can now understand why you need to take cards up front since your servers are not paying attention and people may just walk out.

Service wasn't great matter of fact there was no service. Beer was warm but a good variety. Atmosphere was nice. East side Clinton hall had better service. No one took our orders had to work to the bar each time

Great place for a group, Beer list is diverse and of the moment, food was ok just a little greasy and under seasoned. I feel like there are better options for the price point (2 beers and two egg brunch dishes was close to $70 without tip)
Def seems like a place for 20 somethings to gather
