Located on the 22nd floor of The William Vale Hotel in Williamsburg, Westlight delivers sweeping, 360° views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the East River through floor-to-ceiling windows and a wrap-around terrace. Designed by Studio Munge, the space combines black-and-white tiled floors, brass accents, velvet seating in mustard and blue tones, and a polished stone central bar—balancing sophistication with comfort. The beverage program, helmed by NoHo Hospitality and Chef Andrew Carmellini, features a rotating menu of creative signature cocktails (e.g. “Tropic Thunder,” “Magic Hour,” “Rooftop Remedy,” each between $19–$24), accompanied by craft beer, wine, and rare spirits including whisky and cognac. The food menu leans on global street-food-inspired small plates: duck carnitas tacos, spicy tuna crispy rice, ceviche, burrata with conserva, charred octopus skewers, herb fries, and more—ideal for sharing Westlight is open year-round with indoor lounge seating and outdoor terrace access, occasionally converting into a winter village. Reservations are recommended for peak hours and weekends—but walk-ins are welcomed when available. Guests under 21 are admitted before 6pm daily. This rooftop attracts a cosmopolitan crowd—Brooklyn locals, Manhattan visitors, city travelers—drawn by the polished drinks, understated luxury, and unrivaled view. It’s ideal for date nights, happy hours, or skyline-soaked gatherings.
