Gair.

Worth it, says Antonina. Gair may be the new kid on the block, but that doesn’t stop them from being one of the most charming bars in DUMBO.

Best bars in DUMBO

No. 3 on that list
Worth it
  • Address41 Washington St, Brooklyn, NY 11201
  • From my guide, updated February 2024.

Gair may be the new kid on the block, but that doesn’t stop them from being one of the most charming bars in DUMBO. Since opening its doors in late 2022, the bar quickly gained a loyal following and became a local hot spot.

The interior is romantic, modern, and soaked in natural light, thanks to the incredible corner windows. And as if that wasn’t enough, expect to have your jaw on the ground with the stunning Manhattan Bridge as your backdrop.

What’s more, the talented team behind the impressive cocktails makes it extremely clear that quality is a priority. Gair is a great spot to visit for celebrations or a dreamy date night.

As far as food goes, you’re in luck. The few dishes they offer are equally as incredible, and you’ll be tempted to order everything!

Locals Tip: Not only is Gair one of the best bars in DUMBO, it’s conveniently perched on a corner on Washington Street. The same street where people flock to take the famous NYC picture you see on Pinterest.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
