Seasonal open-air beer garden in the historic Union Square Park Pavilion
Description
Torch & Crown Brewing operates a seasonal beer garden and restaurant inside the historic Union Square Park Pavilion, on the north side of Union Square Park. The 3,300-square-foot venue runs from spring through fall and combines an open-air courtyard and garden with an indoor pavilion section, all built around a New York-centric food and drink program. Every beer is brewed locally in New York City, and all wines and spirits come from New York State. The atmosphere is casual and energetic: communal tables, outdoor lawn games, TVs for live sports, and a bar serving Torch & Crown's own craft beer. The food menu leans seasonal and approachable, with items like pizza, pretzels, burgers, salumi boards, seasonal vegetables, and beer-braised meats. For events, the venue scales from smaller group reservations up to a full buyout. Options include semi-private courtyard reservations at adjacent communal tables, a partial buyout of the outdoor garden, a private buyout of the indoor pavilion, and full-venue exclusivity that can accommodate up to 500 guests standing across the indoor and outdoor spaces. Its location steps from the 14th St.-Union Square subway station makes it an easy meeting point for large groups coming from anywhere in the city.
