Lemon's

Brooklyn: Williamsburg, Greenpoint & Bushwick


This bar atop the Wythe Hotel has a sunny color scheme, vacation vibes and magnificent picture-window views of Manhattan. There's a respectable cocktail list and an OK wine and beer list, along with small plates and snacks to sustain energy levels when DJs rock the house. The outdoor area closes an hour or two before the bar, keeping neighbors happy.
