Union Hall.

Worth it, says Antonina. If you’re looking for something different from the club circuit, Union Hall is worth the trip to Brooklyn.

  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Union Hall isn’t your typical comedy venue. It’s a cozy bar upstairs with couches and bookshelves, and a performance space downstairs that hosts a mix of comedy, music, and live podcasts. The shows tend to lean more alt or indie, and that’s what makes them interesting.

I’ve gone for live podcasts, themed stand-up shows, and comics trying out weird new formats. The feel is casual and smart, and the crowd is usually there because they’re genuinely into it. If you’re looking for something different from the club circuit, Union Hall is worth the trip to Brooklyn.
