The skyline pick
Westlight
For the Manhattan skyline, leave Manhattan. Westlight puts the city across the river in front of you, with a terrace high above Williamsburg and a serious cocktail list inside.

Brooklyn · The city, your way
Two very different Brooklyn rooftop nights.
Williamsburg and DUMBO offer excellent Manhattan views from different parts of the waterfront. Pick the neighborhood that fits your day.
Williamsburg: Westlight
Westlight is on the 22nd floor of The William Vale at 111 North 12th Street. Make it a Williamsburg evening: explore the neighborhood, reserve your rooftop time, and keep dinner nearby. Its current menu includes cocktails, spirit-free drinks, and enough small plates for a substantial stop.
DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights: Harriet’s
Harriet’s sits above 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge at 60 Furman Street. Pair it with Brooklyn Bridge Park and DUMBO, then head upstairs for the bridge-and-skyline setting. Confirm your table and weather arrangements directly.
Choose by the rest of your itinerary
If you are already walking the Brooklyn waterfront near the bridge, Harriet’s is the natural pairing. If you want a Williamsburg dinner or evening, Westlight belongs in that plan. “Brooklyn” covers a large area; do not treat these venues as adjacent backup tables.
Keep the rooftop and pool separate
Harriet’s has separate pool-experience conditions. A rooftop bar booking should be chosen for drinks and the view unless your confirmation explicitly includes swimming access. Westlight’s rooftop experience is a different proposition entirely.
