Pedro’s in DUMBO
Pedro’s is the unpretentious holdout in an otherwise glossy, tourist-heavy DUMBO, a Mexican bar and restaurant that’s been on the corner of Jay and Water since the late ’90s. Colorful murals cover the indoor and outdoor spaces, the crowd skews local and blue-collar rather than hipster, and the prices haven’t caught up to the neighborhood.
It’s a block from the F at York Street and a short walk from the waterfront, which makes it a natural stop for a cheap bite and a margarita before or after the Brooklyn Bridge. Grab a coveted sidewalk table and watch the crowds stream toward the bridge.
What to Expect
Pedro’s doesn’t advertise a happy hour with set hours or discounts, so we don’t list one. The value here is simply the everyday pricing on margaritas, sangria and beer.
The Room
A casual, counter-service-style Mexican spot splashed with bold, colorful artwork, with a compact indoor room and a handful of prized outdoor sidewalk tables. It’s funky, laid-back and lively rather than polished.
Who Pedro’s Is For
| Occasion | Why It Works |
|---|---|
| Cheap eats | A big chorizo burrito and cold beer for a fraction of what DUMBO usually charges. |
| Margaritas outside | Sidewalk tables and fresh-lime margaritas make for easy warm-weather people-watching. |
| Post-bridge bite | A quick, affordable stop a few blocks from the waterfront and Brooklyn Bridge Park. |
| Weekday lunch | A no-frills local lunch that fills you up without the neighborhood markup. |
