19 Best Hotel Bars in NYC, From Classic Martini Haunts to Rooftops With Central Park Views | Condé Nast Traveler

"For the best views of the Manhattan skyline, leave the borough and head straight to Arlo Williamsburg's Art Williamsburg. Conveniently located between Smorgasburg and Brooklyn Bowl (two of the neighborhood’s most dynamic places for a good time) The rooftop bar offers a stark contrast to the dimly lit, speakeasy-inspired bars listed above. Set against a breathtaking skyline backdrop, and conveniently next to the hotel’s outdoor pool (reservations required), the bar’s al fresco setting is perfect for enjoying bites and cocktails year-round, with the bar open from noon daily. Spring for refreshing, watermelon-flavored Playa Margarita or tequila-based Permanent Vacation for something with more of a spicy kick (appetizer-sized portion of guac to pair strongly encouraged)." - CNT Editors, Vicki Denig
