Cecconi’s Dumbo.

Worth it, says Antonina. The location in Brooklyn is home to one of the best bars in DUMBO, perfectly dim-lit and intimate.

  • Address55 Water St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
  • From my guide, updated February 2024.

With its flagship location in London, Cecconis is a global symbol of elegance and prestige. They also have locations in Berlin, Barcelona, Miami, and Istanbul. The location in Brooklyn is home to one of the best bars in DUMBO, perfectly dim-lit and intimate.

The food revolves around Italian delicacies, including handmade plates of pasta. There is also seafood and pizzas available that are both filling and delicious. But if you are more interested in the views than the food, Cecconis is one of the best bars in DUMBO to linger. Ordering a glass of wine and soaking in the iconic skyline views is a great way to catch up with friends and pass the time.

Something to Note: SoHo House Members and Friends receive a generous 20% off all food and drink from 4 pm Sunday until Wednesday. For anyone curious, a membership to the SoHo House will offer access to exclusive clubs and, in this case, discounts.

Only if

Cecconi’s is a popular Italian restaurant best known for its epic views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. The restaurant is slightly overpriced for what it is (in my opinion), which is why happy hour is the time to go. Happy hour runs from 4 pm –7 pm on Tuesdays-Fridays at the bar.
