Bar Blondeau is full of green velvet banquettes and two-tops where you can snack on tuna tartare, eat several rounds of oysters, and take in some great views of the Manhattan skyline with friends. You can also choose a bottle from their natural wine list—full of up-and-coming wine regions around the world—to enjoy on their large outdoor terrace.

The food menu here has plenty of European influences (the bar touts French, Spanish, and Portuguese among them), as well as a hearty list of cocktails, beers, frozen drinks, zero-proof cocktails, and signature drinks. But don't overlook its selection of wines, including the Il Censo ‘Gurte’ orange wine.

Mix in a little of New York with a little bit of France with a stop at Bar Blondeau. The French-style bar by Aidan O’Neal and Jake Leiber, located on the 6th floor of the Wythe Hotel at 80 Wythe Ave in Brooklyn, provides gorgeous and totally unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline and surrounding Brooklyn.
