DUMBO Food Hall With a Free Rooftop Facing the Brooklyn Bridge
Split up across eateries and three bars on two levels, then regroup on the fifth floor for skyline views.
🍴 Choices Under One Roof
A meal in DUMBO can bring a group together, even when tastes diverge. At Empire Stores on Water Street, this market spans two levels across 24,000 square feet. Multiple eateries share the space with three bars and art installations, while counters feature dishes from local restaurants. That range lets each person make a separate pick while the group shares one destination. It suits friends seeking a quick stop or a longer outing, with several kinds of food and drink under one roof. The space gives everyone a starting point before the group chooses its next counter.
A fifth floor rooftop carries the outing above the hall. The free rooftop on the fifth floor looks toward the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. Doors open at 8 AM daily, then close at 10 PM Sunday through Thursday and 11 PM Friday and Saturday. That schedule leaves room for an early start or an evening meal. When the group finishes at the counters, the rooftop offers a final pause over the city.
