Located a mere two blocks from the most popular rooftop bar in Brooklyn (the Westlight), Bar Blondeau is much easier to get into last minute and the skyline views are equally remarkable!
Unable to score tables at the Westlight, we met a friend for an impromptu date on a random Saturday evening and were promptly seated at Bar Blondeau. The libations were strong and light bites highly satisfying, we had a blast soaking up the epic views.
Bar Blondeau has since become my go-to rooftop bar in Brooklyn. So much so, it makes an appearance on my list of the best things to do in Greenpoint.

Brooklyn offers the most striking panoramic views of Manhattan’s iconic skyline, so it’s safe to say that visiting a rooftop bar is one of the most popular things to do in Brooklyn. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that you’ve heard of the super famous rooftop bar in Williamsburg called Westlight (at the William Vale Hotel).
Well, same-day reservations are nearly impossible to score, so allow me to offer an equally great second option. Bar Blondeau at the Wythe Hotel. Located a mere two blocks from the Westlight, Bar Blondeau is much easier to get into last minute and the views are remarkable!
