On busy weekend nights, we have a host who will show you to a seat. On weeknights and slower parts of weekend nights, you can select your own table or seat at the bar. Just watch for the signage, our friendly staff will be sure to help out. Please keep in mind that guests will not be seated until entire party has arrived.

Groups are limited to 8 people. We were designed primarily for couples and small groups up to four people. There are only two tables for larger groups up to 8 people. Please note that we add 20% gratuity on to tables of 6 or more people.

If you are arriving between 7pm and 10:30pm on a Friday or Saturday, reservations are available for our upstairs Velvet Lounge.

This depends on the night and the time of year. Summer is our slowest time of the year and the holiday season is generally our busiest. The wait for couples is usually under 10 minutes, but if you want to avoid a wait, we suggest coming before 8PM or after 11PM. Weekdays are usually slower and there is very rarely a wait.

We don't have a seated waiting area, but you can wait in the foyer or outside. If you give the host your mobile number when you join the list, we'll text you when your seats are ready.

We are currently accepting reservations for the upstairs Velvet Lounge on Friday and Saturday nights with start times between 7pm and 10:30pm. See our home page for a reservation link.

Please note that most tables seat 2-4 guests, and there is limited space for larger tables. We cannot serve a group larger than 8.

We treat all groups equally, regardless of their occasion, but Bryant’s is rarely a good stop on a pub crawl as our group seating is limited. If your group is over 8 people, we won't be able to serve you. We would rather you skip us than to have you leave unhappy.

If there is a seat at the bar, we might be able to accommodate you, but we cannot allow people to order drinks while standing. This policy is due to our limited capacity and for the comfort of those seated at the bar.

All of our cocktails are made by hand and, with over 500 cocktails, there can be a wait while the bartender prepares your cocktail. If you are in a hurry, we do offer a punch service with no wait. Pro tip: on weekends and busy times order a round of punch while you put in your first drink order - the punch will arrive first, like a cocktail appetizer, to start your experience off right.

We only rent out the Velvet Lounge on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Thursday nights are available in summer months. If you are interested in a weeknight private party, please email us.

Bryant’s is strictly 21 and over with valid ID.

Plenty of street parking is available around Bryant's. We recommend that our guests park on Lapham Blvd. or 9th St. south of Lapham.

We have a long standing tradition of Cocktail Lounge Etiquette at Bryant’s. Behaviors that are allowed, or even encouraged, in corner bars are not tolerated here. Yelling, swearing, and drunken renditions of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” are not allowed. You can use whatever words you want in your conversations with family and friends, but if the people next to you can hear you, you will be asked to not swear. Please keep in mind this policy is enforced in order to maintain the classic cocktail lounge environment that has survived for many generations.

We do not serve food or allow any outside food or beverage, with the exception of private parties, so please make plans to eat before you come. We are lucky to be adjacent to two of the best restaurant areas in the city: Walker's Point and Bay View and there are many great restaurants to chose from.

We add 20% Gratuity to parties of 6 or more.
