"What It Is: A big rooftop wine bar in the Brooklyn Navy Yard Perfect For: Big Groups, Birthdays Google Maps said we had arrived at our destination, but we looked around the Brooklyn Navy Yard and only saw warehouses and construction sites. We told a security guard that we were looking for a bar called Rooftop Reds, and he pointed us in the direction of Building #275 towards the back of the grounds. After walking up a slightly creepy warehouse staircase, we found a very fun wine bar that’s also one of the most unique rooftops in the city. The huge space was full of people playing cornhole, laying on hammocks, and drinking at picnic tables with great views of Manhattan. Besides the wines that all come from their vineyard upstate, they also serve beer. There are food pop-ups alongside events like wine tastings and movie night, but for the most part, you can bring your own food. The Verdict: A very fun spot for big groups without the crowds of most rooftops. We’ve added it to our Bar Hit List." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
