Where To Drink Outside

The days are long, the nights are warmer, and your drink deserves a view. We've rounded up 7 of our favorite spots to take it outside. From an Italian corner bar in the East Village to a cobblestone wine bar in NoHo. Consider this your warm weather drinking guide.

Elvis

A French-inspired natural wine bar, Elvis is the kind of place you stumble into and don't leave. Grab a stool on Great Jones Street, order the Elvis Martini, and let the outfit do the rest.

Elvis, 54 Great Jones St, New York, NY

Layla

Layla's sunny covered back patio is Williamsburg's best-kept open secret. aperitivo cocktails, Euro-inspired small plates, and a vibe that makes every night feel like a first date. Order the Layla's Juice (tequila, Aperol, ginger, pineapple, yuzu) and try not to text someone you shouldn't.

Layla, 352 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, NY

Parcelle

With street-side tables made for lingering and a wine list of over 500 hard-to-find bottles, Parcelle is equal parts great drinking and great people-watching. Snag a seat outside in dimes square and let the sommelier handle the rest.

Parcelle, 135 division street, New York, NY

Rude Mouth

Rude Mouth has a massive, beautifully lit backyard, a rotating natural wine list, and a strict no-reservations policy that keeps things delightfully spontaneous. It's the kind of place that feels like your neighborhood bar even if you don't live nearby.

Rude Mouth, 359 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY

Bar Bianchi

Perched on the corner of Houston and Avenue A, Bar Bianchi brings the effortless charm of a Milanese café. Settle into the 40-seat outdoor patio with a Giuseppe Spritz (Tip: order the grande). snack on the complimentary chips & olives for the ultimate people watching setup.

Bar Bianchi, 5 Avenue A, New York, NY

Bar Pisellino

Nobody does sidewalk drinking like Bar Pisellino: tiny tables, West Village cobblestones, and Aperol spritzes on tap that taste like the Italian holiday you didn't have to book. Order one, then order another, and call it a very good decision.

Bar Pisellino, 3rd and 5th Arrodisments

Café Maud

The UES is Health-conscious by day and effortlessly vibey by night, the real move is heading upstairs at Café maud to The Domino Room's wraparound terrace. Come for the famous frozen marg, stay because you simply don't want to leave.
