Bar Basic

"Basquiat’s Bottle is a restaurant, cocktail bar, and event space in Bed-Stuy that typically throws big parties. While they can’t host anything in their indoor gallery right now, they’re still serving to-go cocktails and snacks on their covered patio and on their sidewalk. You can order takeout online, or stop by their Fulton Street spot for outdoor dining (and stay connected to their Instagram here for announcements about future outdoor events)." - nikko duren

"Even if you take pride in making cocktails at home (by the way, we can teach you how), you’re probably not whipping up spiked lemonade or mai tais very often. Treat yourself by going to pick up one of each from Bar Basic in Park Slope. It’s open every day, and serves everything from tacos and margaritas to burgers and sandwiches for takeout. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"If you live in Park Slope and don’t have a backyard, you probably already know about Parish. This excellent cocktail spot is a popular choice in the neighborhood, due in part to its great patio area out back, along with the specialty cocktails from the bar up front. It’s also one of our favorite places to pick up to-go drinks like blueberry tonics and orange margaritas in the area." - nikko duren
