Jasmine Caceres
With summer finally here, there’s a good chance you’ll find me spending my evenings and weekends at one of these spots with a mixed drink.
Tacoway Beach (SUMMER ONLY), Grand Banks, Greenwood Park, Pig Beach Brooklyn, Watermark, The Standard Biergarten, Bungalow Bar
Tacoway Beach (SUMMER ONLY) in New York, United States
Grand Banks in New York, United States

Grand Banks is a floating oyster bar aboard a historic shipping boat and is great for a slightly more upscale outing. Highly recommend the lobster roll and the Get On Up cocktail.

Greenwood Park in New York, United States

Once a gas station, Greenwood Park is now one of the most chill outdoor bars in Brooklyn. It’s a great spot for sangria and craft beers but don’t sleep on the food options.

Pig Beach Brooklyn in New York, United States

If you want a chill place to put down some drinks, as well as some crazy-good bbq, this is the spot. The season just opened, so now’s the time to head over for Chef Jeff’s Brisket Sandwich and the popular Sangria punch.

Watermark in New York, United States
- jasmineagbhow
Watermark feels like a casual spot but with a less-than-casual view of the Brooklyn Bridge and the East River. And really, how what’s better than a place with happy hour deals like Oyser & Rosè Mondays, Taco & Tequila Tuesdays, and Fry-Day Fridays (yes, their fries are truffle fries).

The Standard Biergarten in New York, United States
- jasmineagbhow
This semi-outdoor biergarten is such a vibe. Come with an empty stomach because the brats are delicious and the steins of beer are massive.

Bungalow Bar in New York, United States
- jasmineagbhow
Being close proximity to the beautiful beaches of Rockaway makes Bungalow a perfect spot for a sunset dinner or summer night drinks. Nothing says summer more than live music and some cocktails with a waterfront view.
- leah this looks cool!!

The perfect pre or post-beach spot to fill up on tacos or spiked watermelon drinks. The vibe is beach boho meets surf shack, and will almost make you feel like you’ve made it to the west coast.
