What I wrote thereFold it away
Clinton Hall’s name is an ode to Castle Clinton the southern tip of Manhattan. Originally, Castle Clinton was made to protect the people of New York. Today, Clinton Hall protects New Yorkers from “consuming bad beer” by being one of the best sports bars in NYC.
The NYC beer garden is great for a chill, easy going hangout thanks to the large communal tables and tons of board games. For those who love outdoor seating, there’s plenty at Clinton Hall (and they even have heaters).
Plus at the end of the day thisn’t only an NYC beer garden, it’s a sports bars so entertainment is a given. They play most major sports leagues and never miss a local team’s games. And if that doesn’t have you sold, this NYC beer garden also has great happy hour deals throughout the week. The booze selection consists of $6 beer, $8 well drinks and house wines.
