3. Water Tower Bar at the Williamsburg Hotel, 96 Wythe Ave.
The Water Tower tops the Williamsburg Hotel and offers patrons 360-degree views of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Opened in 2018, this rooftop bar pays homage to New York City’s iconic water towers while also providing a unique dining experience. After you’ve climbed the winding steel staircase next to the rooftop pool to get inside, you’ll see that the window-encased room is decorated with an eclectic mix of reclaimed wooden, tufted velvet and leather couches, a marble bar, gold accents, and vintage-style pop art. The menu features a short list of classic cocktails, beer, and wine.
