Torch & Crown Brewing

Torch & Crown's Union Square beer garden is a seasonal (spring through fall) open-air venue in the historic Union Square Park Pavilion, with event options ranging from semi-private group reservations to a 500-person full venue buyout. It suits casual, high-energy gatherings built around locally brewed craft beer and a seasonal New York-centric menu.

Vibe

Casual, energetic, and unpretentious, with a lively outdoor beer garden atmosphere in a historic park pavilion.

The venue accommodates groups from 5 to 500 guests. Options include large semi-private reservations at adjacent tables in the main courtyard, partial buyouts of the outdoor garden, private buyouts of the indoor pavilion, and full venue buyouts covering both the pavilion and the garden.

Food & drinks

A New York-centric menu featuring seasonal vegetables, pizza, pretzels, burgers, salumi boards, and beer-braised meats. The beverage program centers on Torch & Crown beer brewed in New York City, with all wines and spirits sourced from New York State.

Semi-private courtyard reservations and indoor pavilion buyouts each hold up to 100 guests, the partial garden buyout holds up to 150, and a full venue buyout seats 250 outdoors and 100 indoors, or up to 500 guests standing for a cocktail-style event.
