Reviews
We came here for the Knicks game. It was hands-down the best burger I’ve had in the area at a bar. We also had the loaded fries in the chicken wings. The chicken wings were incredible crispy, and fresh. The fries were absolutely loaded and we devoured them. I highly recommend coming to this place on a casual date or with a group of friends.
Everyone at Crystal Lake was super cool and totally on top of it. I happened to come on a “survivor night” while there was a busy crowd in the back having a survivor watch party. The vibe was good and the bartenders even better. My wife doesn’t really like the taste of alcohol and the bartender christine made great recommendations for her. Her new favorite drink is a pear gimlet. No matter how busy it was the bartenders still had time to be personable. There’s a really cute big event space in the back that I would totally recommend for any private parties you’re looking to host.
I LOVE the decor here it's amazing. Excellent happy hour, great staff, great music, and fun movies on the tv. My only complaint is that as a vegetarian there's nothing I can eat - the fries are made in the same fryer as meat so I can't eat any of the food. BUT if you do eat meat, it looks delicious!
