Went to Westlight in Brooklyn and was absolutely blown away. This spot is stunning — the panoramic views of the NYC skyline at sunset are unbeatable. The vibe is upscale but relaxed, and it’s the perfect place to take in the city from above.

I was looking for a bar with a beautiful view and it did not disappoint! I don’t remember the name of the cocktail, but it had blueberry and basil — one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. The snacks were tasty, and the service was friendly. I’m absolutely thrilled with this place!

If you can find a better sunset view in Brooklyn, I would be shocked! If you want to sit outside, be sure to make reservations as they will not let you hang out outside and crowd the people who do have reservations.

Westlight is an absolute top 5 pick for best rooftop restaurant in NYC. With breathtaking views, delicious small plates, unique drinks, and one of the largest rooftop spaces you'll find in the 5 boroughs, Westlight is easily one of the best rooftop spots that you can find in NYC. The food was flavorful and appetizing, especially the jerk oxtail sliders!! To top it all off, the staff was simply amazing. Every single employee I encountered was not only courteous, attentive and knowledgeable, but just all-round wonderful people. And as if the glass-enclosed and terrace dining areas weren't great enough, they have a large open lawn a level above, that offers completely unobstructed views from all angles. Westlight is definitely a new addition to my favorites, and I'm eager to visit again soon!!

This place never disappoints even if you're visiting just for drinks or after dinner. The views are probably one of the best in NYC. The top terrace with couches is a nice touch because it offers sitting area even if you're not booking a table. Its tough getting through the crowd in order to get to the bar but it's manageable. Diverse selection of mixed drinks including some draft beers. Must visit if you're in the area.

Had the most wonderful visit to Westlight!! For starters, the view is an absolute 10 out of 10, killer. It's the perfect height and vantage point for unbelievable views of Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn. Rose and Charlie were the absolute best, very welcoming, friendly, hospitable and inviting. Will definitely be coming back soon.

I took my mother to Westlight because I wanted to show her something truly beautiful, enjoy the views, and have a nice meal with cocktails—and everything was absolutely perfect.
