Happy Hour at Fornino at Brooklyn Bridge Park
Fornino’s Pier 6 rooftop is one of Brooklyn’s great open-air perches — a wood-fired pizzeria and bar looking straight across the harbor at the Statue of Liberty, Lower Manhattan and the East River. It’s a seasonal operation, opening around mid-April and closing in mid-October, and it lives and dies by the weather.
Chef-owner Michael Ayoub’s Neapolitan-style pies come out of the wood oven blistered and fast, backed by seasonal salads, a full bar and house-made ice cream. The scene is sunset-driven and group-friendly, with a first-come cafe level and reservable rooftop seating via Resy — and it doubles as one of the better July 4th fireworks perches in the city.
The Happy Hour
During the season Fornino runs a weekday happy hour that has traditionally offered discounted drafts, rosé and white wine, and cocktails, with a late-evening rooftop window on top of the afternoon café deal. Exact times and prices are refreshed each year, so treat the specifics as movable and confirm day-of by phone or on the venue’s Instagram before you climb up.
The Room
An open-air rooftop bar and dining terrace at the south end of Brooklyn Bridge Park, with unobstructed harbor and skyline views, plus a first-come, first-served café level below. No TVs up top — the view is the entertainment.
