There’s something about drinking outdoors that turns an ordinary night out into something special. Now’s the time to enjoy the warm weather with a cold beverage at one of Brooklyn’s rooftop bars – I mean, winter is only a few short months away! I know… I don’t want to think about it just yet. In the meantime – here are some suggestions for outdoor fun with friends.
The Ides at the Wythe Hotel, Wythe Avenue N & 11th Street, Williamsburg
This upscale date-night spot offers stunning views of Manhattan and the East River that are well worth the wait to get in. (The line moves pretty fast.)
Northern Territory / 12 Franklin Street, Brooklyn
An Australian bar & rooftop located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Night of Joy, 667 Lorimer Street, Williamsburg
With daily happy hour specials (like a $6 Basil-Lime Gin Gimlet) and a relaxed vibe, this cozy rooftop deck is a don’t-miss.
Berry Park, 4 Berry Street, Williamsburg
Watch the sun go down behind the NY skyline at this rooftop beer hall, then watch a soccer match on a 13-foot screen.
Make your way back Sunday morning for brunch and a Bloody Mary.
