Williamsburg is hipster-central. Fact. And what’s trendier than drinking cocktails in a water-tower? How about a water-tower on top of a boutique hotel, overlooking the pool and with epic views of the Manhattan skyline? That’ll do it.

If you’re having safety/hygiene doubts about drinks in a repurposed rooftop structure, then fear not. This one was custom-built. The curved walls are designed so it’s mostly glass, meaning guests get a pretty sweet view. Furnishings match the light & bright mood - sumptuous velvet sofas in greens and blues, distressed wooden floorboards, dangling chandeliers and some very cool murals by local artists.  There’s also a DJ makes this one epic hangout spot on weekends, so make sure you stay out past the watershed.  There's more to this joint than *just* those views.
