Gorgeous unobstructed view of Manhattan . Small bites, good drinks. Perfect for dates and gathering. Make reservation to avoid waiting. It's gonna get crowded in summer for sure

Jon Morris

Awesome new rooftop with relatively cheap beer and great views of NYC. Get there right at 4pm when they open or be prepared to wait in line .

Gothamist

Sitting atop the William Vale Hotel , Westlight boasts nearly 360-degree views over Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan's east side, along with the requisite $15-$17 cocktails and cheaper wines and beers . Read more

Kiwi Wang

Truly knockout view , beautiful space. Get there EARLY though- not just the lines outside get crazy, but there’s only one bar for the whole space so it can take forever to get a drink when it fills up.

ブルーノ

We came for the views , we stayed for the great cocktails . Beautifully designed place, it gets crowded right after the opening time in the afternoon. Can't go wrong with their Boulevardier.. so good!

Nicole Formica

Incredible panoramic Manhattan views with a side of amazing cocktails and snacks . Be sure to make a reservation !

Shaun Tollerton ⚡️

Grab a cocktail , get outside and enjoy it whilst soaking up the absolute best view of Manhattan from Brooklyn.

Elvis Rodricks

Calling it the way we experienced it. By far the best roof top view in nyc WITH exceptionally great food and drinks.

Ashley Chan

This review can't do justice to how amazing the views of Manhattan are from this bar ; you MUST come here to see for yourself :P Located on the roof of a beautiful and modern new hotel in Williamsburg.

Elise Ransom

The view is amazing and the ambiance is great. Would be an awesome date spot . The staff was really nice and accommodating and there is a coat check .

Marie Porras

The views of Manhattan are amazing, but the deco & cocktails are well worth the trip. Nice staff too.

Jahee Son

Chet Mancini

Views are some of the best in the city . Don’t be an a**hole and try to jump the queue with the old “uhh my friends up there waiting for me” line . It moves pretty quickly.

Andrea Barrezueta

Amazing views and nice cocktails but when you have to wait over 30 minutes to get them it takes so much away. Hopefully it's just a temporary thing and it will turn into one of my neighborhood haunts

Eater

If all’s going well , Dev’s go-to second stop on a first date is Westlight at the William Vale Hotel , the rooftop bar from Andrew Carmellini. [Episode 4] Read more

Mary M Motta

get a reservation so you can make sure to get that view of the city that this place is known for. get a drink and then move on…

David Blackman

Yeah it's crowded , yeah it's full of eurotrash, yeah it's the most amazing view in NYC and they are pretty friendly even if you don't get a drink and the prices are worth the view .

Nate S

The Standard meets the Wythe Hotel . It just opened, but this place beats both of them. Best view in Brooklyn, possibly the whole city .

Journey City Guides

Superb rooftop bar with floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor seating with 360°views of the Manhattan skyline

Ayelet A

Absolutely the best rooftop views in NY. And the food is awesome too. Expect a line outside thought.

Christina ♏️

Best scenic views of Manhattan

Tony Xerri

This is one of those places where you'll feel underdressed if you're not wearing a ridiculous hat. Great views but not for long, two huge construction sites in front of the building will fix that...

Sacha S

Best view you'll get of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Be prepared to be amazed. You'll love it.

Michael Anthony

Obviously the view but also the drinks - pro tip, seating matters so maybe butter up the host to get the best seat

Evi

Great views of Manhattan , definitely enjoy a drink on the roof

Sean Stenstrom

Rooftop bar -- Take the elevator 22 stories up to this stylish , glass-encased watering hole atop the William Vale Hotel , the neighborhood 's tallest skyscraper .

Kisha Chandler

Real drinks and yummy bites! Also a view to die for! For the fancy ! #yolo

Gary Toriello

THE COLLEGE FUND - Black Strap, Banks Golden Age, Smith & Cross Rum , Tiki Bitters , Cream, Boylan’s Root Beer

Kate Furman

The ultimate Williamsburg gentrification. Views of midtown Manhattan are spectacular. They also accept reservations .

Tracy Solorzano

Very touristy but nice to check out the view . Bites and desserts were great ????????

Danny

Don't come, you won't enjoy it especially if you're contributing to the crowds keeping me from seeing the amazing views while enjoying my crash 2.0

Manoj Ambalavanan

Unreal view - has to be one of the best in the city . cocktails are also incredibly diverse and tasty

Terri R

I made a reservation for a table via OpenTable. Unfortunately, Westlight marked me as a no show. I do recommend reserving a table though, especially for busier nights.

Alex Pyatetsky

Major ????: make a reservation . Fantastic views ? Yes. Worth an hour in line ? Probably not. Didn't eat or drink. Nice loungey atmosphere. They don't pack then place.

Matthew Ferguson

The drinks, the views , and the outdoor space are all outstanding.

AmateurConcierge

Ribs , burrata . Not so much on the mushroom cups. Miel fuego cocktail

Marc Schneeberger

Amazing views of manhattan !!! Great drinks and veru good service . On saturday the line is just a bit long!

Lauren Van Bever

I would sacrifice my firstborn for the tequila salmon with chips .

Leah Hammerschlag

If you get tabitha request a diff waiter immediately. of 10 dishes- fries , pea and kale spring rolls , duck tacos and burger are worthwhile.

Luyba Zeylikman

Incredible 360 views of New York! Come on a weeknight to avoid lines .

Bo Fløjborg

The view at night is amazing! ????????✨

Cesar Corral-Castilla

Really nice place. Come here for a stunning view of the city .

Alex Robertson

You came for views and views you will get.

Amy Cummings

Incredible views of the Manhattan skyline. For the best experience, make a reservation .

Ioannis Iliadis

Visit for the scenery , cocktails are ok and bar food also !

UHNWI

Excellent spot for late launch or dinner , the view is insane, staff are cool

StayNYC Rentals

The roof’s indoor/outdoor space is the ideal vantage for sunset-silhouetted Manhattan scapes in any weather.

Keren Atzlan

Food isn’t amazing. But so beautiful. Great burger . Menu changes sometimes they have great stuff.

Andreas Gebhard

Wonderful view , with a good cocktail in hand.

Kirill Fuchs

Little pricey , but great view and good wine list .
