Williamsburg rooftops to a basement room, with the city between

Two rooftop bars, one on a Brooklyn hotel pool deck, one on a Tribeca garden deck facing Midtown. Plan around the calendar, since the second address only opens for the warm months.

Catch the pool deck views at ART Williamsburg.

Two roofs across the river


A pool deck above the hotel

ART Williamsburg sits on the roof of the Arlo hotel at 96 Wythe Avenue, where a pool and cabanas share the deck with bar service. The room opens at noon most days, which makes it workable as an afternoon start rather than a late-night stop. Friday is the only night that runs past 11:00 PM, closing at 1:00 AM. The 3.7 average across 33 reviews is worth weighing before you commit an evening.

A garden deck over Tribeca

Walker Rooftop runs along a garden-corridor deck at 77 Walker Street, where a small bar and a few booths face Chelsea and Midtown. The acorn cocktail anchors the list, and the deck also hosts sports screenings and tastings through the season. Doors open at 4:00 PM on weekdays and 1:00 PM on weekends, with Friday and Saturday running to 12:00 AM. Sunday winds down earlier at 10:00 PM.

Two decks, one seasonal window

Both stops sit outdoors, and the calendar is the real constraint on this pairing. Walker Rooftop runs on a seasonal schedule and closes for the colder months, so confirm the date before building an evening around it. ART Williamsburg holds year-round hours and works as the dependable half. Pair them on a Friday, when the Brooklyn deck stays open until 1:00 AM and the Tribeca one until midnight. That gives both decks a late close on the same night.
