Classic Williamsburg bar with a private back lounge for parties up to 150
Description
Crystal Lake is a classically styled bar and event space on Grand Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The front bar room serves a range of draft and bottled beers, wine, and seasonal cocktails, while the back lounge functions as a dedicated event space with exposed brick walls, a skylight, a big-screen projector, sound and light systems, a P/A, and a dance floor. For events, the venue works in two configurations: the private Back Lounge, which holds up to 90 guests, or a full buyout of the entire venue for up to 150. The back room is set up with banquette seating, a communal table, tables and chairs, and its own light and audio system, with microphones and a projector available for rent. Full buyouts include the front bar room and back lounge together, with bar seating, booths, stools, benches, private bathrooms, and dance floor. The space suits a wide mix of events — birthdays, corporate gatherings, screenings, dinners, weddings, showers, dance parties, and live music. Catering is offered on site and vendor referrals are available on request; full-venue bookings come staffed with two bartenders, one busser, and kitchen staff, with additional staff available on request.
