“ I booked this venue for a 40-person birthday party. The furniture and lighting is amazing, and I loved getting photos out on the rooftop during golden hour and sunset. You can see the WTC and Empire State Building as a nice backdrop. The cocktails were good, though not particularly strong. The fruit salad was more like a yogurt fruit bowl, though it was appetizing. I loved this place and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. Free coat check also available. ”

“ I recently stopped by El Nico while visiting friends who were staying at the hotel, and the place definitely had a great vibe. They offer both outdoor and indoor seating, so you can choose based on your preference. When I arrived, it was pretty quiet, which made for a chill atmosphere. The staff was attentive, and I have to say, their drinks were delicious! I ordered some guac with chips, which were just okay--not the highlight of the visit. I didn't get a chance to try much of the food, but my friends mentioned their quesadilla was pretty basic, something you could easily make at home. That said, I'd definitely come back for the drinks and the stunning views of Brooklyn. It's a great spot to relax, enjoy a drink, and take in the surroundings. Perfect for a laid-back meetup with friends if you're in the area! ”

“ Fantastic rooftop, awesome service! What more do you ask for? That is walking distance from central Williamsburg and the pier. You got that too! ”

“ This was a very nice rooftop. I went to an event called vibes n vino. For the first hour or 2 they only served wine during the event and later on opened the bar for other hard spirit options. The indoor outdoor rooftop was not open since it was too pretty cold at the time of the event. I'm not sure what the vibe is like outside of this vino event but it was really close the metropolitan L train station, literally a few steps away. A bit out of the way for me to go back but it was cute. And the bathrooms are color themed so you walk inside and it may be completely pink, yellow, red, etc. Really interesting and funky. My eyes were struggling to adjust lol ”

“ TLDR: Easily one of my favorite places in the city for cocktails. Came in a group of friends on recommendation of Dial A Drunk. We basically ordered everything on the menu. Of what we had, my favorites were the Bidi Bidi Bom Fashioned and the Santo Pepino. I didn't see it on the menu but if they ever bring back the Passion Berry Negroni, that is also a definite must order! Tried a lot of the seasonal menu as well and those were just as great. Food was great as well. Felt like a crime seeing how expensive the tlayuda was but it was quite good. I think the guac is quite good as well. Service was attentive and friendly. Interior is quite cute. Would bring a date or a group of friends here. Overall: I feel like this place rivals many of the 50 Best Bars I've been to around the world! ”

“ Such a cute rooftop bar at my hotel. My bf and I loved it so much we went two nights in a row for drinks before dinner. Beautiful view but I wish I was able to step outside to get the full experience. It's winter so covered, but you can still see a lot. Decor was adorable. The bartenders were very accommodating and friendly. He made up his own shot of vodka with grapefruit. Absolutely delicious! ”

“ A delightful evening in Penny hotel, Williamsburg!! We went there for my friend's birthday. Great vibe and atmosphere :) Food experience there was AWESOME. Like a modern Mexican foods and you would have never imagined how herby, fresh they are! I got Michelada and 100% my taste!! My friend got Santo Pepino and that was beautiful looks and tastes great. We Started off with Guacamole and they are so fresh and nice savory. We got Shrimp empanadas and Crab Tlayuda which is like a pizza. That was full of surprise!!! They are both amazing but the Tlayuda took my heart. Beautiful looking some flowers going on.. So fresh and flavorful with yogurt! Just the empanadas was a bit pricey but overall, staffs were friendly, nice view of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skyline.. will definitely come back for Brunch as well!! :) ”

“ ElNico is delightful! The ambiance is next level & the decor is truly something. I really enjoyed my life bites & drinks. The oyster taco was my favorite, by far, but I also enjoyed the scallops crudo. Definitely try their cucumber cocktail - it's basically summer in a glass and was delicious. Extra points because this place is dog friendly too! It's actually named after the chef's dog, which is pretty precious if you ask me. ”

“ Super cute rooftop with beautiful sky view. Extensive tequila and mezcal bar menu, cocktails were boozy and delicious. Appetizer was really good. - Guac was done perfect, we ordered 3 times! - Oyster was really fresh that we couldn't resist to order another plate. - Scallop YUM. Entree however didn't stand out as much. - Steak has a lot of fats almost too much. - Bone Marrow was somehow served lukewarm and dried that there's was nothing really. I'd say drinks and bites outdoor would be perfect. ”
