Westlight NYC

Westlight is a celebrated rooftop cocktail bar atop the 22nd floor of The William Vale hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, delivering 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline, the East River, and the rooftops and neighborhoods of Brooklyn below. Floor-to-ceiling windows encircle the central bar and lounge, while the outdoor terrace positions guests perfectly to appreciate the full sweep of Midtown and Lower Manhattan glittering across the water. The bar and dining program is overseen by acclaimed chef Andrew Carmellini, whose playful menu of handcrafted cocktails and rare spirits is paired with elevated bar snacks such as tuna tartare with Asian pear, shrimp dumplings with mango and Thai basil, and a dry-aged burger. Reservations are recommended, particularly at sunset and on weekends, though walk-ins are welcome based on availability.
