Night of Joy

"The rooftop patio at this cocktail bar is always one of the best outdoor drinking options in Williamsburg, and Wednesday through Sunday until midnight, it still is. They’ve also put some tables on the sidewalk out front in case the roof is full or you have a fear of not very high heights." - matt tervooren

"Night of Joy is a somewhat ideal first-date spot. There are couches and cocktails, but it’s about as casual as a dive bar, and the little space is dark and intimate. There’s also a roof that’s open in the summertime, although it’s usually pretty packed up there." - bryan kim

"This Williamsburg bar is a great next-best if waiting for a table at Llama Inn, located right across the street — and if what you’re looking for is floral drinks on a low-key roof, Night of Joy might just be the best. The beet-and-dill vodka-based cocktail is not to be missed, though the bartenders here will make most drinks on request." - Eater Staff, Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner

"It’s garden-to-glass at Night of Joy in Williamsburg, where the cocktail list sees a heavy hand of botanical ingredients and herbal infusions. (Think basil-lime vodka and hibiscus-cinnamon mezcal.) Head to the rooftop patio that’s open from the spring through the fall season, and grab yourself a fresh lime frozen Margarita (they also come in various flavors). It’s perfect for date night—and who doesn’t love a night of joy?" - Abbe Baker, Carey Jones
