Reasonably priced cocktails , wine and beer with an unbelievably amazing view of Manhattan . Bar seating on one side, tables on the other. Very chill place to relax on a summer weekend.
Located on Governor's Island , this eatery is an island escape in itself and boasts a gorgeous view of Manhattan . It's both an oyster bar and a bar-bar. Talk about the best of both worlds! Read more
This cocktail and seafood restaurant by the Grand Banks team requires a short ferry ride to Governors Island , but the views , and booze, are worth it. Only open during the warmer months.
Awesom views of downtown Manhattan , delicious cocktails and excellent seafood . Get the Make It Rain tequila cocktail .
Views for days, entertaining people watching , good drinks.
Great service every time. Stupendous views of Manhattan . Cold drinks, solid menu. What more can you ask for?
