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.

A top pick for a fun and casual night out in Brooklyn

Sitting on the sixth floor of the Wythe Hotel is Bar Blondeau, a French-ish cocktail spot with a seafood-centric menu. Chefs Aidan O’Neal and Jake Leiber curated plates with French, Spanish and Portuguese dishes that pair well with their wine selections. Don’t miss their $11 cocktails at Sunset Hour from 5 p.m. - 7 p.m. during the week.

The views from this indoor/outdoor hotel rooftop bar couldn’t be nicer, and the food, from the same dynamic duo behind Chez Ma Tante and Le Crocodile, is pretty exceptional, too.

What the Wythe Hotel lacks in stature, at only eight floors, it makes up for with the ever-classy Bar Blondeau
