The Rogers Garden

"Even weeknights feel like weekends at Rogers Garden. The huge patio at this rum bar on the border of Prospect Lefferts Gardens and Flatbush has lawn chairs, turf, and murals, with tons of special programming, like live music and food pop-ups. If you’re lucky, there might be jerk chicken and other goodies on the grill outside. (And if there isn’t, you’re allowed to bring food from other places inside.) Check out their Instagram page so you don’t miss one of their special events. " - neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick

"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

"Take a little detour to The Rogers Garden, a courtyard cocktail garden with an eclectic, thoughtfully-curated rum menu inspired by the Caribbean. This bar is a must-visit, especially if you want to lime in Little Caribbean for a few hours with your friends. This place hosts weekly artisan culinary pop-ups, ranging from oysters to BBQs to island bowls, all cooked fresh to order. For cocktails, we recommend the Miss Ting or Maracas Bay, a nod to the owners’ Trini heritage." - team infatuation
