Cole KennedyJuly 19, 2015Awesome 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.
Jon BillsFebruary 6, 2015Amazing view of Manhattan from the bar. The drinks are pricey but it's worth a visit, especially at sunset. The barman was grumpy though.
SociableNYJuly 11, 2013As 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
Nate SMay 22, 2015There'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.
Alexandros PlexidasMay 13, 2016A 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.
The Corcoran GroupJune 19, 2012Keep 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.
AFAR MediaJune 26, 2015The 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
Layla AlotaibiDecember 5, 2016Small rooftop with laid back atmosphere, but great view of Manhattan skyline. Come by just before sunset then watch the city lights go up.
Peter BernsteinAugust 28, 2017Gorgeous view of the skyline, very friendly staff and variety of drinks. Prices are what they are since it's a hotel and tourist spot.
Alex PyatetskyJuly 23, 2015Good 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.
NooraApril 27, 2014Great 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. 👌
Jeff MelnykJanuary 13, 2017Incredible view. My Manhattan was made with precision. Great to have a DJ early in the evening - makes a difference!
Edomia zaide BereheApril 11, 2018Stunning views, great drinks. Music is not to loud so it’s easy to carry a conversation while enjoying the skyline
Mario AllegranziMay 31, 2015The 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.
New York PostFebruary 26, 2013Show 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.
R GMarch 4, 2017Hip bar that overlooks different parts of the city. The outdoor area is great during summer. Nice cocktails and friendly staff. Super cozy.
AmateurConciergeAugust 24, 2018Great skyline views but gonna tough to retain its position with all the challenger hotels on the rise. Tall ball is a lovely strong drink
Alejandro HoyosOctober 15, 2015Service 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..
Stephanie ZhongJanuary 25, 2015Bf 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
Liang ShiSeptember 12, 2014Beautiful 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.
Kayleigh HarringtonJune 3, 2013Salty dogs and dark and stormies. They use fever tree tonic water which makes for extra delicious G&Ts.
Jen StarAugust 16, 2017The 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+
James CroninApril 7, 2015Spent 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.
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.
Hannah HanNovember 8, 2014Decent 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!
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantNovember 7, 2016Great views from the top floor of the wythe hotel. Cocktails are good but not amazing. Place gets super crowded.
- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015It'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 WickhamJanuary 26, 2017A great bar, but the view alone is worth the trip and worth a wait as there can be a queue to get in
Ed WinJanuary 25, 2017Expensive beers. But have a no tipping policy. Great view! Great service. Nice people. Very friendly! Worth it!!
Jess NaldoJune 1, 2015Come for the spectacular view and a $20 cocktail. Mostly the view. Get a $3 PBR across the street.
Jessica de OliveiraDecember 8, 2015The view is unbeatable here. Very posh Brooklyn crowd that gave me the quintessential Willysburg experience.
Jackie VMarch 22, 2015I 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!
Concert Ticket AgencySeptember 17, 2012Another 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 ;)
Deborah BApril 30, 2017They 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.
BrooklynBoyONovember 22, 2012When 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).
Dilara CumhurOctober 1, 2016Probably the best rooftop option in New York for ones who love unpretentious experience and want to avoid fancy dress code
Ion GorritiJune 12, 2014Great bien of Manhattan. International clients, very cheap drinks for all the hip vibe of the place
will wehbeApril 16, 2015The terrace offers breathtaking views of the city! Try their cocktails with champagne!! +++
Sam HApril 11, 2015Good cocktails, tends to get very crowded but the wait isn't too bad if u get there around 9:30
Zara DancelAugust 22, 2013Love the view. Drinks are pretty awesome!!! And yes a bit pricey but it's worth it. 😉👍
Russell SinclairApril 12, 2014Excellent views of Manhattan and solid drinks. Schmooze with the Williamsburg crowd.
Maja HøjgaardOctober 21, 2016The view is great, but I was sad that the outdoor balcony didn't go all the way around. Prices in the bar is 11 dollars and up. I am glad I went there but I'll not come back.
Sandra van LintMay 4, 2017Fancy rustique design, great beers and a perfect view. I would come back :)
