"What It Is: A clubby cocktail bar at the top of 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge Perfect For: See And Be Seen We like good cocktails, and we like nice views, so we decided to check out Brooklyn Heights Social Club. It’s a bar at the top of 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge run by the people behind 1 Oak and (the original) Beatrice Inn, and, like those other spots, it’s definitely a scene. The drinks all cost around $20, it gets dark and loud around 7pm, and you can expect a crowd of well-dressed people. We didn’t stay too long, but by the time we left, it pretty much felt like any nightclub you might find in Meatpacking. Although there are some very nice views of the East River and Brooklyn Bridge. The Verdict: This place is crowded, expensive, and clubby - but it if you go on the early side, it can be a fun drinking experience (although not quite Hit-List-worthy)." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
