Greenpoint Beer & Ale Co.

The 19 Best Rooftop Bars In NYC

"When it's warm outside and you want to drink beer, head over to Greenpoint Beer & Ale Co. This brewery is at the northern tip of Greenpoint, and it has a big open-air patio on the roof with some picnic tables and a purely decorative stained glass water tower. They serve a bunch of beers that are brewed in house, and there are also some bar snacks like fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, and a hot chicken sandwich. The view won’t change your life (unless you’re really into looking at pricey new housing developments), but, as far as NYC rooftops go, this is one of the most pleasant ones." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang, molly fitzpatrick
