Bar Blondeau is a chic rooftop bar at the Wythe Hotel offering stunning Manhattan skyline views, stylish cocktails, and delectable seafood dishes.
"“I can’t believe I’m revealing this secret here, but we don’t gatekeep at The Infatuation, so I have no choice. The Bar Blondeau rooftop is seriously underutilized in the summertime. Head there on a weekday evening (or a Friday lunch, perhaps!) and you will have the breeze in your hair and the Manhattan skyline views right in front of you, all without the usual NYC rooftop bar scene/crowds.”" - brennan carley
"The team behind Le Crocodile opened this flashy French wine bar six floors above their Williamsburg restaurant on the bottom floor of the Wythe Hotel. Bar Blondeau is full of green velvet banquettes and two-tops where you can snack on tuna tartare, order several rounds of oysters, and take in some great views of the Manhattan skyline. You can also choose a bottle from their natural wine list to enjoy on their large outdoor terrace." - neha talreja, bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, hannah albertine
"We can’t quite figure out if Bar Beau is primarily a cocktail bar or restaurant, which, for the purposes of this guide, actually works out quite nicely. This Williamsburg spot has an entire menu section dedicated to shared snacking items like marinated olives and polenta fritters with scallop. You can eat these at the long marble bar or in the dark, candlelit room in the back." - team infatuation
"Bar Blondeau offers a Frozen Bellini, featuring lemon juice, grapefruit juice, simple syrup, Citadelle Gin, Juliette Peach liqueur, Giffard Crème de Pêche, white wine, and water. Beverage director Jarett Karlsberg added this frozen take on a classic bellini to the seafood-forward natural wine bar’s small plate menu, inspired by the one served at Cipriani." - Kat Odell
"If seeing the New Year’s fireworks are your priority, then you can’t really get a better vantage point than Bar Blondeau on the rooftop of the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg. While the party might not be the danciest, wildest night of your dreams, your $295 ticket will get you an open bar, as many oysters as you can fit into your stomach, and a fairytale view of the Manhattan skyline.
