Rooftop Reds is a true hidden gem in the Navy Yard of Downtown Brooklyn. It offers a nice view of…read morethe Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines (though most of the manhattan side is covered by surrounding buildings). The vibes are relaxed with open seating, hammocks, large tables, and backyard games like cornhole. I especially like that the grape vines are intertwined with the seating, so that you can sit all around the plants while you enjoy your wine or cocktail. Service was spectacular with two sommeliers working the wine bar. They took their time to explain the menu and patiently described the flavor profile of each of the wines to me and my friend (two complete novices). I suggest trying their in house wines and the Le Mone spritz, which is similar to an Aperol Spritz but made with a lemon liqueur instead. It can be kind of difficult to get to the location since it in inside the Navy Yard and there is no direct access from the main street. Once you get there, you have to go up about 4 flights of stairs since the elevator is for special use only. They have a small snack menu but you can also order pizza from IL Porto, which will be delivered right to the rooftop. You cannot bring outside food or drink. Reservations are mandatory but I went on a Friday evening and there was only about 3 other groups there. There was also no cover when I went. Based on the other reviews, they must be more strict and charge cover on busier days or weekends. I plan on coming back here with more family and friends! 5/5 stars!

It's five steep floors. You cannot use the elevator and if you have mobility issues you have to call a number posted on the door when you arrive. Def a turn off. After climbing forever, I checked in which was smoothe. I thought the movie began at 6pm so I arrived at that time and had almost two hours to look around. I chilled in the big beautiful hammocks And walked the vineyard. Though pizza and wine was included in my ticket I ordered the watermelon frose which was so delicious and cheese. The spread arrived in picnic aesthetic which was so cute. The movie started at sun down and it got chilly fast. They provide blankets at no additional cost if needed. The pizza was so good! It was a nice vibe with the beautiful skyline in the background. I would recommend for single or solo outings. The service was great.

Amidst all the music venues in the neighborhood, this is where all the parties start. The space is…read morereally cool with neon plexiglass and fun draft tap knobs. But what everyone comes here for is their amazing happy hour serving cocktails for only $5! The drinks are premade from tap, but still absolutely worth it. Even without happy hour prices, the cocktails go for $12, which is pretty great in NY standards. I had La Niña, Bourbon Old Fashioned, Socialite, and FOMO --none of the disappointed. While they all ranged from 20-30% ABV, they all tasted too good that you don't really get much of the alcohol taste. A must go spot to start your night.

If you're lucky, you'll catch a glimpse of their working cats in the warehouse. For $20, a tour includes the animated history of Kings County, the process of distlling, and a healthy sampling of 4-6 spirits. The cocktail bar is fun, historic, beautiful, and chic. The menu is varied, with something for everyone. I had an espresso martini that was incredibly smooth and delicious. Bathrooms are down a historic, metal spiral staircase, so if accessiblity or mobility area a consideration, I would call ahead to ensure existence of appropriate accommodations. They have a lovely, quite spacious outdoor area that I'm sure is lovely in the summer.

Yesterday, I called to confirm their hours (they are different on Google versus Drink's website) and also to ask about their canned cocktail selection. I was told they now carry Post Meridiem (vs Tip Top), but the guy assured me that PM has a similarly good variety and quality. When I walked into the store a few hours later, I found two PM margaritas and a slew of espresso martinis on the shelf. I asked the guy behind the counter if this was the extent of the selection they had. "Yes, clearly, that's all we have," he said, as if it was impossible that they had more in the back or that polite customer service still exists. I told him I'd called earlier and been told there was a good variety. He said he only works here two days a week. I told him I thought I could do better elsewhere and left. He told me to have a nice day. Sorry, dude--go work in the Simpsons' comic book store! Your snark and rudeness have no place in a nice neighborhood spot like this.
