7 Best Brunch Venues for Large Groups in NYC (2026)

Finding brunch venues for large groups in NYC that don't make you jump through hoops is harder than it should be. These 7 spots across Manhattan and Brooklyn handle private brunch events well. Some do full buyouts, some have semi-private sections, and none of them will blindside you with a surprise minimum spend. Most have bottomless options for private events too.

Game-filled Midtown hangout steps from Grand Central

T-Squared Social was co-founded by Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake, which is a sentence you don't get to write very often. The venue sits at 7 East 42nd Street, right between 5th and Madison. The 4, 5, 6, and 7 trains all stop at Grand Central around the corner, so getting your whole group there is genuinely easy.

For a brunch event, you're booking a Party Suite or a Golf Bay, each holding up to 20 people. The Golf Bays are multi-sport simulators, so brunch here comes with actual entertainment built in. Duckpin bowling, darts, ping pong, arcade games, and the biggest TV screen in NYC are all part of the deal. It's loud, it's fun, and nobody's sitting around awkwardly waiting for the check.

This works well for birthday brunches and corporate team events where you want something more interactive than eggs and small talk. Food and beverage packages run from party platters to cocktail growlers. The cocktails are actually good, not an afterthought.

Greek restaurant with private sections for up to 150 in FiDi

Skinos is on Washington Street in the Financial District, between Albany and Carlisle. The Rector Street R and W trains are a block away, and the 4 and 5 are a short walk up to Wall Street. This part of downtown is easier to get to than people expect.

The room is the main draw. Cherry blossom installations overhead, a koi pond built into the floor. It sounds like a lot, but it comes together in a way that feels calm and considered rather than overdone. The private section holds up to 150 guests, making this one of the bigger fully private options on this list.

The food leans into modern Greek and Mediterranean, and the cocktail program is well thought out. No minimum spend is listed, which takes some pressure off. Good for milestone birthdays, baby showers, and corporate group dining where you want the room to do some of the work for you.

45-foot marble bar and a food menu worth talking about in Tribeca

Little More is on Reade Street in Tribeca, between West Broadway and Church Street. The 1, 2, and 3 trains at Chambers Street are a two-minute walk. The block is quiet in that way Tribeca always is, but the room inside has real presence.

The centerpiece is a 45-foot marble bar with a 16-foot tower of spirits behind it. The cocktail program was built by former Apotheke mixologists, and you can tell. The food menu runs from small bites to a vertical spiral lasagna and a birria ramen. The upstairs section holds up to 150 people privately, and smaller configurations start at 35.

A strong pick for birthday brunch groups who want somewhere that feels like a destination. No minimum spend policy is listed, which helps when you're coordinating large groups with different budgets. The room photographs well too, which matters more than it should.

Nautical cocktail bar on the SoHo-Greenwich Village border with a private mezzanine

The Folly sits on West Houston Street between LaGuardia Place and Thompson, right where SoHo bleeds into the Village. The B, D, F, and M trains at Broadway-Lafayette are a block north. It's a good corner of the city to be in on a weekend morning.

The nautical theme is done with restraint. Reclaimed wood, some rope accents, the general feel of a dockside bar that takes its drinks seriously. Oysters and lobster rolls anchor the food menu, and the craft cocktails are the real highlight.

For private brunch events, the mezzanine holds 30, or you can combine it with the private room for up to 90. Full venue buyout goes to 175. There's also an AV setup, a DJ booth, and a vintage photo booth on site, which gives groups a bit of structure if the afternoon starts to stretch. No minimum spend listed. Good for smaller brunch groups who want a room with actual personality.

Casual Williamsburg bar that hands over the whole space

Grace and Ruby's is a Williamsburg cocktail bar that does full venue rentals for up to 60 people. The space is honest about what it is: a cozy neighborhood bar with good drinks, a removable stage, a DJ booth, and a projector. No pretense, just a solid room that works for the kind of brunch where people actually want to hang out for a few hours.

The full cocktail menu, rotating beers on tap, and house-made popcorn are all part of the deal. The projector and PA system mean you can run a slideshow, do a mic moment, or set the mood with a playlist. They've hosted trivia nights, karaoke, DJ sets, and watch parties in here, so the space adapts without much fuss.

The room comfortably seats 40 and goes to 60 standing. One of the more flexible options in Brooklyn for a private brunch on a budget. The kind of place where a birthday brunch turns into an all-day thing without anyone planning for it.

Fort Greene bistro from an Eleven Madison Park alum with full venue buyout

Third Falcon is on Myrtle Avenue in Fort Greene, near Adelphi Street. The C train at Lafayette Avenue and the G at Clinton-Washington are both walkable. The neighborhood on a Saturday morning is exactly the kind of Brooklyn that makes people move to Brooklyn.

The owner trained at Eleven Madison Park and Crown Shy, and you can taste it. The menu leans into Northern French traditions. Sole meunière, chicken in crab butter, that kind of cooking. This is the spot on this list for groups who are actually there for the food. The room is warm and specific, including three distinct falcon-themed art pieces with real provenance behind each one.

Full venue buyout for up to 70 guests, no minimum spend. Works well for a seated group brunch where the meal is the event. Rehearsal dinners, milestone birthdays, corporate client dining. Not the place for a rowdy group that wants to keep going until 4pm. Very much the place for a group that wants to remember what they ate.

Greenpoint's internationally known craft beer bar with a private back room

Tørst is on Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, between Nassau and Driggs. The G train at Nassau Avenue is a two-minute walk. The block has that particular Saturday morning energy where half the neighborhood is already outside with coffee.

The place to book if your group cares about what's in the glass. Tørst keeps a rotating list of rare drafts and bottles that serious beer people actually travel to try. The Danish-inspired design is minimal and clean: long bar, wooden walls, no clutter. The food is gastropub done right, built to pair with what's on tap.

The private back room holds 45 people, a solid size for a brunch group that wants to be together without turning it into a production. Good for birthday brunches, corporate team hangs, and any group where someone's going to ask for something on cask. The cocktails are there too, but the beer is the reason to come here.

Any of these venues can be booked through Litty's concierge team, who can handle availability, negotiate minimums, and put together packages so you're not doing it all over email.
