This apparently strong hook-up bar boasts a pretty great outdoor area , larger than its indoor bar . There’s a taco truck out back and a ton of beer options . Read more

Vanessa Rueda

do you want to dance , to hang, to eat but also you want bar ambiance and street fair ambiance but also disco ambiance? well , union pool is the best doing all that at the same time!

Gordon Mei

Frequent the taco truck in the courtyard at the back and chill on the wooden benches or firepit rim. Dance to live music in the back room, and check out the photo booth .

Dmtiry Romantsov

Great place to even visit in the winter when there is a fire pit outside. It has a great vibe and there's a taco truck in the back!

Elke Nominikat

Urban cozy , 3/4 closed blinds, great bar selection, attentive staff , always surprising music , outdoor space , taco truck AND an awesome music venue "next door' .

Stephanie Zhong

A total casual place if you want a chill night out with friends. Drinks are eh, but omg there is a great taco truck tucked in the backyard ! The backyard is a fun place to be in the summer.

DoubleDeuce

Be hip , come to the Pool. Lounge outside, chill at the pub or catch a show in the theater . You can even grab a snack at the taco truck .

L. T.

Cool spot. No fuss. Great happy hour ($5 draft and wine ) About $3 to charge your phone in a secure machine by the door for as long as you want.

ShortandSweetNYC

Been going her for years. Not huge bar when you go in, but the outdoor area has a fire pit in the winter, a taco truck all year round, and a small music venue , plus it's great for singles. Don't forge

Marie La Rue

College-aged crowd. Gets very busy on the weekends. Nice use of outdoor space . Can’t not mention the taco truck in the yard which is the main highlight of this place.

Cole Kennedy

Maybe a scene but also a solid place to chill and get drunk and eat tacos and be outside or also inside, y'know, whatever.

Indulgent Eats

Dance all night, hang outside with some drinks and friends, grab some tacos from their El Diablo taco tuck that runs til 3:30AM, or do all of the above.

Vivian Ramirez

This will always be a Williamsburg staple and the epicenter of hipster Dom. Even two decades later- still offers a great time for a dive.

Time Out New York

Union Pool welcomes you to its series of free outdoor gigs, Summer Thunder! A spacious courtyard is packed with wooden benches , while bands strum away on the adjacent stage. Read more

The Corcoran Group

A very eclectic spot to catch an outdoor show in Williamsburg - includes an El Diablo taco truck and a photobooth , along with a bonfire .

Raquelle Jessie

get the beef or chorizo taco from el diablo tacos . AMAZE DJ on saturday nights , all around exquisite vibe

Foursquare Insiders

"Concert venue / huge bar / outdoor area / taco truck . Check out Reverend Vince Anderson and The Love Choir every Monday night—free show and a guaranteed good time." - Roy LaManna, Music Entrepreneur Read more

Adam Schuit

One of the best bars in Williamsburg with something for everyone. Check out the dance floor and food truck in the backyard

Kayleigh Harrington

Order beers to take outside and get the al pastor tacos from the taco truck . Perfect place to start a night out in Brooklyn.

Boris Jones

Affordable drinks, cheap tacos , and a great late night scene. Past 12am your likely to find a young and friendly crowd who are ready for a good time. Read more

Laura

So many different rooms and spaces to hang out - both inside and outside. Stuffed with beards and plaid, it's a fun spot

Bollare

Taco truck and authentic photobooth machine? What more could a girl want. Center of Williamsburg and right off the L train so it's always a great meeting spot http://bit.ly/MJk450 -Running in Wedges

Alex Robertson

loved ending my 21st birthday here--great backyard , tacos , overall vibe. Hope to catch a show here at some point.

BlackBook Magazine

Meet your Charlie here, fresh on the rebound & still wounded from his GF’s best friend’s diary. Maybe it won’t be that specific but you could definitely meet an emo musician at this live-music dive. Read more

Justin Canetti

Good place to chill and grab a beer and a taco on a weekday night or nice day. I'd stay away on weekend nights if you're over 26

eme

Another great summer bar , decent sized outdoor space . Have never been here for drinks, just tacos . Strongly prefer fish/shrimp tacos here.

Nora Benson

Great combination of seating and dancing areas. Plus the food at the taco truck is on point

BlackBook Magazine

Whoever gets to the center fountain/firepit first gets the girl with the plaid sweater and the gold hair pin. Steer clear of the Diablo taco truck for anything beyond 1st base. Read more

Kwam Brew-Hammond

That taco truck is probably W'Burg's best kept secret! Free dirty gospel concert on Mondays!!!

Kodi McKinney

So seedy, but you know it's fun. Go during warmer months and hang out near the taco truck , and be careful not to catch the Brooklyn Herp.

Adriana Varisco

Look to your right when you walk in the door. You can charge your phone for 2 bucks at the Brightbox. Try it!

Byron Brewer

Great spot that's open late . Don't miss the taco truck in the back. Perfect place to cap off a long day/night of boozing in Brooklyn.

CMJ

The show area at Union Pool is decorated like an old vaudeville theater , adding to its charm once you've passed by the taco truck and beer garden .

Sam Gil

Nice price drinks, taco truck , good vibe.

Compass

Listen to the latest and greatest indie soundtrack or live music as you check out backyard views of the BQE at Union Pool.

Miguel Gutierrez Rodriguez

Bands strum away on the adjacent stage, while a spacious courtyard is packed with wooden benches to lure chain-smokers.

Jesse Bagels

Good beer selection , good taco truck in the back

Scott

Gotta hit up the taco truck parked in the open back patio area to the left of the fountain . Reasonably priced and helps soak up da booze.

Daniela Asaro

Best served on a weeknight. Go outside. Get food from the taco truck . Photobooth - patience my loves. Takes a while for them to print .

Kelsey Huse

Good place to watch hipsters in the wild. The food truck in back has pretty good tacos and tamales

Elvis Rodricks

Good place to grab few drinks 'under' the 278 .... raw and original.

Conrad Greiner-Bechert

The DJ spins tracks on some proper vinyls here. This place is lit in the summer and on weekends.

Monti Bray

Head to the back for some taco truck fun, but make sure you have cash! Fear not, there's an ATM by the outside bar .

ᴡ Meza

Photobooth takes awhile to print pics - but be patient, it's worth the wait! Shrimp tacos at the taco truck are also phenomenal :)

Jackson Isaacson

Great tacos , decent vibe, basic crowd though.

qwertney

Amazingly huge outdoor deck and seating, with a bar and a taco truck . Inside, there's a photobooth and usually a dance party .

i.am. a.

Loved the Monday night converts of the Reverend and the taco truck at the back.

Charlotte Dunne

Taco truck in the back, outside area, inside chill area, dancing area. Ticks all the boxes!

Michael Lambert

Be sure to sample one of the incredible tacos and sit outside in the beer garden .

Julien Perrière

Quite spacious venue, good vibe, young & beautiful people coming from all over the world. You'll meet new faces.
