Gowanus Yacht Club

Operating from May through October, this pocket-sized space offers a handful of shaded tables and a few stools at the bar. Beside the basic brews, they keep rosé and draft wines on tap. This is strictly not a cocktail spot, and the venue's basic facilities mean it is wise to use the restroom before you arrive. It remains a family-friendly neighborhood fixture that has kept its relaxed character over the years.
