"On Friday nights, it feels like the whole neighborhood gathers in the courtyard at The Rodgers Garden to drink rum cocktails and find their next fling. They’ve got umbrellas in the summer and heaters in the winter, so you can enjoy the garden year-around. If you opt for inside seating, the blue metal bar, hanging plants, and strong drinks like the Rodney Bay Rum Punch provide a Caribbean feel no matter where you are in the space. Brooklyn’s best DJs make the rounds here weekly, so check Rogers' Instagram for when they’re throwing their next big party. " - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, willa moore
