About Crystal Lake Brooklyn

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.

Planning your event

Crystal Lake offers two booking options: the private Back Lounge (up to 90 guests) at $100/hr plus a minimum bar guarantee, or a full-venue buyout (up to 150 guests) that includes the front bar room and back lounge with bar and kitchen staff included.

Vibe: Classically styled Brooklyn bar up front with a moodier back lounge — exposed brick, a skylight, and a dance floor that shifts from dinner-friendly to party mode with the built-in light and sound systems.
Space layout: Two connected rooms: a front bar room with bar seating, booths, stools, and benches, and a back lounge event space with banquette seating, a communal table, tables and chairs, a dance floor, and its own light and audio system.
Private events: The Back Lounge books as a fully private room at $100/hr plus a minimum guarantee to be met at the bar. Full-venue buyouts include both rooms, private bathrooms, and a staff of two bartenders, one busser, and kitchen staff, with additional staff available on request.
Food & drinks: The bar pours quality draft and bottled beers, wine, and seasonal cocktails. Catering is offered on site, and vendor referrals are available on request for full-venue bookings.
Group size: The Back Lounge accommodates up to 90 guests; a full-venue buyout accommodates up to 150. Smaller groups can typically be hosted in the back lounge without a buyout.
