The Westlight Rooftop Bar

When in Brooklyn, the Westlight Rooftop Bar on the 22nd floor of the William Vale Hotel in Williamsburg needs to be on your must-visit list. In that rarefied air, breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, the Hudson River and Brooklyn are assured. This upscale bar attracts a sophisticated, cosmopolitan clientele—so you’ll fit right in.

The bar's menu showcases inventive cocktails crafted by skilled mixologists, alongside a curated selection of wines and craft beers from local and global producers. Light bites draw inspiration from international street food, offering a sophisticated helping of gastronomy to the bar’s casual dining vibe.

As the sun sets (quite the show from this high up), the bar becomes a coveted spot for both pre-dinner cocktails and nighttime gatherings. The ambiance strikes a balance between polish and ease, attracting a diverse, well-dressed crowd. While walk-ins are welcome, booking ahead is wise, especially for prime weekend table slots when the space buzzes with energy.

The Westlight Rooftop Bar is a must-see in the New York nightlife scene, pairing skyline vistas with thoughtfully crafted cocktails. It's a magnet for those who appreciate subtle luxury without pretense.
