Bar Blondeau

The creators of Le Crocodile opened this showy French wine bar on the bottom floor of the Wythe Hotel, six floors above its Brooklyn eatery. Green velvet banquettes and wooden two-tops abound at Bar Blondeau, where you may nibble on mussel toast, order multiple rounds of oysters, and enjoy amazing views of the Manhattan skyline with friends. On their huge outside terrace, you may also order a bottle from their natural wine selection, which features wines from emerging wine regions across the world.

With oak paneling and forest green banquettes, the warm dining area is welcome and polished, and a green marble bar faces enormous windows with magnificent views of the East River and Manhattan skyline. There is additional rooftop seating available.

Location: 80 Wythe Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249
