Berry Park

"Just off McCarren Park, this bar has tons of seating inside and on their covered rooftop, which has a huge TV. Their food menu includes fish and chips, a meat and cheese board, and a few different types of sandwiches." - kenny yang

"Live-streamed soccer games and flowing European beer options scream summer at Berry Park. This first-come, first-served beer bar is open year-round, pouring picklebacks, frozen pina coladas, and a handful of beers by the half-liter. The crowds here can be fierce, especially on warmer weekends, so plan accordingly or call ahead (or fill out a form on the website for a reservation if heading here with a group of 10 or more)." - Eater Staff, Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner

"Berry Park is a rooftop for people who don’t like rooftops. It’s spacious with lots of seating, it’s never hard to get a drink, and for every person wearing Christian Dior, there tend to be just as many wearing Christian Pulisic jerseys who watched a match downstairs or played in one across the street in McCarren Park. And as it’s table-service-only right now, it’s even more low-key, which you can take advantage of by drinking frozen cocktails overlooking the Manhattan skyline until midnight or later Thursday through Saturday." - matt tervooren

"If you walk by Berry Park on a weekend afternoon, you might see people in Liverpool scarves sharing cigarettes with other people dressed like they’re ready to get a bottle and three mixers in Meatpacking. This is because the ground floor here has flat screens and a big projector, and is a pretty serious soccer bar that plays games with plenty of volume - but the rooftop has a bunch of tables and its own bar, all with nice views of Manhattan. Come here with some friends who aren’t into sports, and join their table on the roof once you’re ready to trade the scarf and Carlsberg for sunglasses and a vodka soda." - matt tervooren

"If you want to follow your morning in the park with an afternoon on a roof, head to Berry Park. It gets pretty clubby at night, but it’s a fun spot to have some drinks and eat bar food, like three-cheese mac and cheese and fish and chips, while the sun is still out. They also have a bar and plenty of seating inside for when your Vitamin D-deficient body overdoses on sun." - matt tervooren
