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.


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.
