If you find yourself in Park Slope, Brooklyn and are looking for a good beer and a game of indoor bocce, head to Union Hall. With over 5,000 square feet of bar, restaurant, and live music space, this place somehow still manages to feel intimate. It must be the book-laden shelves, cozy library-like furniture, and creepy oil portraits on the walls. Head to the rear to sign up for a friendly indoor bocce game, or step outside to the garden for drinks al fresco.

There's a different band every night of the week, and the downstairs bar area muffles the noise nicely. We liked the spacious, slate unisex bathrooms (barely a line!) and unlimited beers on tap. And the menu didn't hurt either - pot stickers, housemade flatbread with bourbon carmelized onions. We also hear brunch is equally as delicious. A bonus: after the live bands go, there's a tempting 80s DJ downstairs and just enough room to let loose. The only thing that bugged us was trying to get a cab home.
