Red Hook
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Red Hook, Brooklyn
Red Hook is one of Brooklyn's most distinctly isolated waterfront neighborhoods - cut off from the nearest subway and long defined by its old shipping piers and warehouses, now home to an IKEA and a well-regarded crop of bars and breweries. BarFinder lists 39 venues here, led by classic bars with a strong cocktail bar, brewery, and gastropub presence, including Van Brunt Stillhouse and Botanica at Widow Jane. Lavender Lake and The JakeWalk round out a scene that draws people specifically to Red Hook rather than catching them in passing. It's worth the trip out for anyone who wants a genuinely different corner of Brooklyn's nightlife.
