    Small but good beer menu. Very large so if company looking to do holiday likely could handle it with ease. Menu is bar menu with plenty of burgers and other items you would expect. Owner Bill is very friendly.

    It's a great place. There were a few hiccups (bartender didn't know the Happy Hour special, bartender didn't know how to make a certain drink, etc.), but the place is fairly new so it's understandable. The entire place is big and spacious so it can accommodate larger crowds. The basement has an arcade area with pool tables, arcade games and foosball. The food was really good as well. I tried the Peanut Butter and Jelly wings and I was pleasantly surprised on how good they were. The workers there are also very nice. I highly recommend this place. I definitely will return.

    I love this place! Amazing space with an arcade downstairs and great food. My friends and I had the butcher trough which had the best ribs I've ever had.

    Refuge from the cold. Decent beer selection. Pleased with the selection of spirits as well. Downstairs is an arcade! Didn't try the food but I will definitely visit again!

    Really cool place. Food was awesome for a bar. We had the baja tacos which I love because I used to live in CA. The fish and chips were good too. Big beers. Beautiful and friendly staff. We wanted to go to an arcade they have downstairs but there was a private event there. Next time. The place is huge. There are games on the table but we didn't play. Nice. Will be back.

    Amazing place with great vibes and good old American comfort food! I went with a couple of friends for a Weekday lunch. We ordered some beer to go with our artichoke dip, meatballs and shishito peppers. Followed by shrimp and grits and the special salmon burger. Brig, the general manager gave us the utmost attention and made sure we didn't leave without some delicious peach blueberry cobbler, cheesecake and peanut butter cake. We also met one of the owners/brothers, Willy, who sat down to chat with us! Wished all restaurants in the city were as attentive in service as this!

    This is by far my favorite spot in Midtown-Manhattan to go with my friends and coworkers to have a nice cold beer. The food was delicious I had the mac & cheese burger and my friend had the BBQ Ribs, both were extremely tasty. I also like the big arcade games they have in the cellar and the classic rock muzaaaak they played.

    I've been working with this venue since it was known as Habanero Blues and have hosted many events at this place. They have three floors, a main floor for food and drinks, a mezzanine for events and parties and a newly opened cellar with two pool tables and arcade games. It is difficult to find a place in midtown that has both character and space and the cellar of American Hall is a hidden gem.

    I will never set foot in this place again. Bartender that…read morecalled himself "Jimmy" was incredibly creepy and disgusting. Made me feel extremely uncomfortable. He was leering at me and making inappropriate comments that made me nauseous. Guy was old enough to be my Dad. Pretty sure he was sneaking pics of me too with his phone. I was waiting for my friend to arrive before going to see a show and ordered a neat scotch and an Allagash White when I sat down. He gives me a look and tells me I "drink like a man". Then made other comments questioning my sexuality. Total misogynistic predator creep. I didn't finish the scotch because I know what Macallan tastes like and that crap he poured me was like Costco booze. Then I worried whether or not he put something fishy in my glass. I couldn't settle the tab and get out of there fast enough. Our plan was to eat there when my friend finally arrived, but f that. Ended up meeting her at the pizza place a few blocks away. Thinking of this dude literally makes my skin crawl. I'm not one to write reviews often, but he shouldn't get away with that behavior. Aren't bars supposed to exude good vibes and provide hospitality? My experience here was not only traumatic, but a total waste of money too.

Maiden signage everywhere, special drinks and food items with an Iron Maiden menu, giveaways, free personalized photo from a Lagunitas rep walking the floor, concert footage on the video screens, Lagunitas Maiden beer, all of the rooftop bar with more banners and band art, along with non-stop Iron Maiden music playing throughout! Plus, there was a large merchandise tent set up on the rooftop which was perfect as we purchased all of the gear we wanted there - shirts, jackets, hats, and other swag - same as what was at the concert which saved us a ton of time not having to wait on the ridiculously long lines at the stadium the next day. We noshed on some tasty wings, nachos, and drank Lagunitas Trooper IPA. Staff was friendly and helpful. The bar area itself was large and getting a table was easy even though it was very busy. Would have been a 5 star review but I had to take one star off since they closed the Eddie's Dive Bar event early, even though they advertised and confirmed it was supposed to run until 4am both Sat & Sun. After the concert on Sunday night ending close to 11pm many did not get back to Manhattan until after midnight due to the PATH train schedule from the stadium. Our group of around 10 people were turned away at 1am with the bouncer telling us the event was now closed. Not cool advertising it until 4am and then doing that. The bar missed out on some good business as many others were also heading there who we spoke with earlier. Oh well, that's a minor complaint as this was otherwise a terrific time.
