Red Hook Barrel Yard: New York Wine and Cider on the Harbor
Red Hook Barrel Yard doesn’t post a happy hour. It’s the Red Hook Winery and its new cidery at 185 Van Dyke St, in the same waterfront building as Strong Rope Brewery.
The verdict: go for a glass of New York wine or cider facing the harbor, not for a discount. Everything is made from New York State grapes and apples, and the cidery is open every day. The catch is the website: it’s still a holding page that promised a full site for summer 2026, so there’s no menu or price list to check.
What to Expect
- Cidery: Mon–Fri 12–10pm, Sat–Sun 11am–10pm.
- Winery: Sat–Sun 12–10pm.
- Coming: a distillery, listed as “coming soon.”
The pier is a few minutes’ walk from the NYC Ferry and the B61.
