This place is amazing. Go here. Wait for the roof. Get the Frozen Margs . Get the guac and the shrimp fajitas . The bartender is awesome: be nice and get hooked up with a sweet tequila flight. ????☀️????
The view is great, the food is pretty good too. Start with the guacamole and chips , try one of their specialty margaritas , and relax and have an enchilada .
Everything about the short rib enchilada is so tasty! I loved the roasted ranchero sauce . Also the ambience is nice. The main restaurant is "hidden"'upstairs while downstairs is a bar .
Chicken Enchiladas were perfectly flavored. Big enough portion to be shared. blood orange marg downstairs was better than the drinks upstairs. View on middle floor just as good as top floor.
Chilled out vibe out here in this corner of Brooklyn - came here on a weekday- with a view of lower manhattan . Veggie taco was great and so was their flan !
Great jukebox and a beautiful view of lower Manhattan from a rarely seen angle. Perfect on summer nights when the windows are open -- like being in a small town tucked up against the glittering city .
Pro-tip: Blood orange margarita is delicious! Served in a pint glass and only available downstairs. Get it yourself and bring it to the dinner table!
I had the canaries asada and it was really good. Very light and not overwhelming. Loved the mango salad and pesto cashew sauce. Portion size is little but that's fine with me :)
Have dinner on the rooftop to enjoy a great view of Manhattan and make sure to order a margarita and guacamole before anything else!
FEED T-REX! Very few Data East pinball machines in the city . Jurassic Park also features Wayne Knight on the playfield (how can you not love that)! And a classic Bally Star Trek.
The fish tacos were great. Cucumber margarita with a bit of spice, fantastic. View is killer. Great spot!
Great location, amazing view ! Excellent food hands down the best in authentic mexican! Don't miss the Enchiladas with the mole sauce . Superb!
A bit pricey but the food is amazing. Fajitas were great also dat rooftop view is amazing!
Total hidden gem . Great place to bring someone special and have dinner and cocktails on the roof while watching the sunset .
The views that really make it special. Whether you're eating in the main dining room, or upstairs on the deck (covered and heated in the winter), you get a gorgeous eyeful of Southern Manhattan .
Great locals spot with a nice selection on tap . When you've had your fill head upstairs to Alma and get a table on the rooftop for some great food and an amazing view of lower Manhattan .
The food is delicious and the VIEW is spectacular. Cocktails are not that great; go for basic cocktails , nothing fancy .
Great food and ambience - chef is actually from Oaxaca and it shows in the food and mezcal selection.
Great atmosphere and views . Service and food is great as well . Recommend going at dusk and watching the sun set.
Amazing margaritas . Ask to be seated on the top floor, the view is beautiful!
One of the best views in the city . If there's a wait for a table on the roof ask if you can go up to the bar .
Cozy bar space. Good for a casual weeknight dinner . Order the enchiladas and a pomegranate margarita
The rooftop views with margaritas are some of the best day drinking in Brooklyn.
Take your spouse/date/S.O. up to the rooftop area, the view up there is ????????
Great Nachos , from upstairs, and friendly people! There's a ping pong tournament on Wednesdays of most weeks!
Pumpkin seed sauce Enchildas and cheesy rice . Get an entree and two sides and split. Plenty for two.
Great with a big group. Play some games, drink some awesome beer . No hard drinks though.
Wow. Beautiful view , great service, delicious food. Loved the tamales & Huevos Oaxaca. They're also really accommodating with large groups!
It's all about the roof, the fish tacos and whatever frozen margarita they have that night.
Great food, staff , and atmosphere
Ask for the home made hot sauce . Comes in a Corona bottle and has a nice kick to it.
Great bartender ! Try the Five Boroughs beer , hoppy lager
All cocktails and the oyster ceviche !
Amazing view ! Delicious food, including tasty vegetarian options .
Forgot the name, but this steak sandwich was great.
Bright and breezy corner pub with view of Manhattan
On Saturday nights it's couple central. If you are single bring a friend. Jukebox is fun.
The bar usually doesn't have a wait. Your back is to the view but still fun.
Good mexican food ! Definitely have the pulled lamb tacos for appetizer , nice rooftop view !
Sit in the covered roof top . Great city view . And the food makes it that much better
CASH ONLY - Decent tap beer selection . Good place to chill waiting for a roof seat at Alma or for Pok Pok
Don't bother with 2nd floor when the top has such excellent views . Watch out the cucumber margarita is spicy !
Best restaurant view in Brooklyn!
Great guacamole and drinks! View is an added bonus too.
Nice rooftop dining. As about the dice game at the downstairs bar .
Nice roof deck . Get the steak fajitas .
Get there early and take your time eating. The rooftop view of th city is amazing.
Possibly the best rooftop in Brooklyn. Come at sunset .
Gets quite crowded when featured in a same day L magazine article. Be prepared for a :60 wait on Friday nights.
Get the spicy cucumber margarita and thanks me later.
Honestly one of my favorite bars in all of BK. Good beers on draft, plenty of space and a pool table in the back! - Abner Aceves
