Amazing view of Manhattan from the bar. The drinks are pricey but it's worth a visit, especially at sunset. The barman was grumpy though.
Cole KennedyJuly 19, 2015
Awesome views, great cocktails, stylish vibe. Make sure to dress in your hipster finest, and if you can, reserve a table rather than hovering over the bar.

As awesome as Manhattan is, you can't really see Manhattan from Manhattan. The Ides has a view of the island that can't be beat. Go during the day...it gets way too "nightclubby" at night. Read more

Nice hotel rooftop bar in Brooklyn with an amazing view on Manhattan.

A bit expensive but the view towards Manhattan is very nice, especially during sunset. Enjoy it with a cocktail in the terrace sitting in a chaise longue.

There's no denying these are some of the best views (of Manhattan) in Brooklyn. That said, the vibe is bro-y, and the drinks are weak. Takeaway: bring a visitor here for one drink, then split.

Keep your fingers crossed that there’s no line, because the view from the rooftop is amazing! All the staff are BEAUTIFUL, sweet and attentive. Try the Chihuahua.

Great rooftop bar in Wythe Hotel Williamsburg, amazing views to Manhattan by night! On late Saturday night it was not packed, bubbly was reasonably priced and the she played music like The Smiths. 👌

The Ides, rooftop bar, fetches a line through the lobby most nights. Gratuity is incl. $16-18 cocktails (like the appropriately named Brooklyn View) To skip the line, reserve a group spot for eight+

Gorgeous view of the skyline, very friendly staff and variety of drinks. Prices are what they are since it's a hotel and tourist spot.

The Ides is one of the most of the Instagrammable locations in the borough. Don’t miss the wine list from the hotel’s star sommelier, Lee Campbell, who has a knack for finding quirky, offbeat wines. Read more

Small rooftop with laid back atmosphere, but great view of Manhattan skyline. Come by just before sunset then watch the city lights go up.
Alex PyatetskyJuly 23, 2015
Good place to enjoy the view or have an anxiety attack, depending on mood. Very pretty, upscale, but not trashy/club crowd. Didn't imbibe, but it's a very nice place with great views. Bring friends.

The place is amazing, beautiful view and the cocktails are worth coming from anywhere in NYC. Only disappointing point: waiters at the bar are probably the rudest I found in the whole city.

Stunning views, great drinks. Music is not to loud so it’s easy to carry a conversation while enjoying the skyline

Hip bar that overlooks different parts of the city. The outdoor area is great during summer. Nice cocktails and friendly staff. Super cozy.
Jeff MelnykJanuary 13, 2017
Incredible view. My Manhattan was made with precision. Great to have a DJ early in the evening - makes a difference!
Liang ShiSeptember 12, 2014
Beautiful view of Manhattan to sip your cocktail with. Dine at the restaurant beforehand to avoid the line to get to the rooftop bar on Saturday nights.

Another rooftop! this one's got a stellar view. Check this place out before or after a great show at the Music Hall in Williamsburg. Thank us later ;)
Stephanie ZhongJanuary 25, 2015
Bf and I finally decided to check out the hype. Overall it was a good experience. Having been to many rooftop bars in Manhattan, I wasn't wow-ed by either the drink or the view

Salty dogs and dark and stormies. They use fever tree tonic water which makes for extra delicious G&Ts.
New York PostFebruary 26, 2013
Show up early for the awe-inspiring view of Brooklyn and Manhattan. The bar opens at 5 p.m. and gets full quickly, and then the velvet rope comes in to play unless the hostess likes you.
Dilara CumhurOctober 1, 2016
Probably the best rooftop option in New York for ones who love unpretentious experience and want to avoid fancy dress code
James CroninApril 7, 2015
Spent bank holiday Monday here in the sun with some great cocktails and an incredible view. Only one bartender so he was very busy but worth the wait.
Deep GujralFebruary 27, 2016
Great rooftop view

When you're turning into Brewer's Row from Bedford Ave., you know you're almost there! Stop at Brooklyn Brewery on your way, if its Saturday or Sunday (for a bigger brew selection).
Hannah HanNovember 8, 2014
Decent small bites and drinks. There was a DJ even on a random tuesday nite, fun vibe. But the best part is the amazing view of manhattan!
AmateurConciergeAugust 24, 2018
Great skyline views but gonna tough to retain its position with all the challenger hotels on the rise. Tall ball is a lovely strong drink
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantNovember 7, 2016
Great views from the top floor of the wythe hotel. Cocktails are good but not amazing. Place gets super crowded.
Alejandro HoyosOctober 15, 2015
Service shocking! We sat down at the bar and there where extra stools for us. On the second round the waitress tried to take two without asking one from my pregnant wife. But great coctails and view..
Jess NaldoJune 1, 2015
Come for the spectacular view and a $20 cocktail. Mostly the view. Get a $3 PBR across the street.
Andrew ChaoAugust 25, 2018
They have a nice chill rooftop! Great view of the Manhattan skyline!
İpek A.May 31, 2016
I love this rooftop a lot. One of my favs in the city
Jessica WickhamJanuary 26, 2017
A great bar, but the view alone is worth the trip and worth a wait as there can be a queue to get in
Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015
It's a hot spot on weekends, and crowded---its more than worth it to go early and have that memorable view all to yourself. Read more
Jessica de OliveiraDecember 8, 2015
The view is unbeatable here. Very posh Brooklyn crowd that gave me the quintessential Willysburg experience.
Ed WinJanuary 25, 2017
Expensive beers. But have a no tipping policy. Great view! Great service. Nice people. Very friendly! Worth it!!
Nick JordanJune 11, 2012
Been here 5+ times
The menu is great. Execution and bartending... Not so much. That being said the space makes up for the faults of the staff. If they can get the kinks worked out this would be THE place to go in WB.

The terrace offers breathtaking views of the city! Try their cocktails with champagne!! +++
Jackie VMarch 22, 2015
I went here when they first opened up and you didn't have to wait to get in, now expect a wait...especially of it's nice out!

The decor outside of Ides is pretty minimal, with simple metal tables on a gray-tiled deck, but that's not deterring the crowds, and it offers no distraction to the views of Manhattan. Read more
Ion GorritiJune 12, 2014
Great bien of Manhattan. International clients, very cheap drinks for all the hip vibe of the place
Sandra van LintMay 4, 2017
Fancy rustique design, great beers and a perfect view. I would come back :)
Zara DancelAugust 22, 2013
Love the view. Drinks are pretty awesome!!! And yes a bit pricey but it's worth it. 😉👍
Ercan BalcıJune 1, 2018
View, ambience and drinks are cool
Russell SinclairApril 12, 2014
Excellent views of Manhattan and solid drinks. Schmooze with the Williamsburg crowd.
James CaiDecember 25, 2014
The view over Manhattan! Worth every penny!
Deborah BApril 30, 2017
They make you wait on purpose a lot too excessively for the amount of ppl that was actually on the rooftop. You would think they would want it to be a little bit more filled at least.
Jordan CrookSeptember 24, 2014
Beautiful view. Moscow Mule delicious.
James BaoApril 20, 2015
Amazing view, well priced drinks. Book ahead of time.
