Memorial Day is a time to usher in a new season, get together with friends, go outside, thank our military, and enjoy being American! Whatever Memorial Day means to you, you cannot resist going out and taking in the official preview of summer vibes ahead. While it’s true, some of us aren’t lucky enough to have a grill or a rooftop we’ve got you covered rounding up the must go to spots to celebrate memorial day.
Roberta’s
Roberta’s in Bushwick is an institution, an icon, and a damn good pizzeria. For Memorial Day Weekend, try their tiki bar out in back. With a large outdoor space with plenty of picnic tables for you and your friends, it’s the move to make. You can order pizza to go and sit out back and order frozen cocktails at the bar, which makes it a perfect pick for Memorial Day. (261 Moore St., Brooklyn; 718-417-1118)
A classic high end eatery featuring Americana comfort food, Buttermilk Channel in Carroll Gardens is a great destination for two to spend memorial day. Whether you go for brunch or dinner, Buttermilk Channel offers some of the best American staples around and is perfect for any kind of diner. (524 Court St., Brooklyn; 718-852-8490)
Fette Sau literally translates to “fat pig” in German, and you simply cannot get better barbecue in anywhere else in town. A great spot to go with a crew, order your house smoked meats at the counter by the pound, get plenty of those delicious BBQ side staples like burnt end beans or broccoli salad, and post up at any of the long communal tables inside or outdoors. As if it didn’t get any better, craft beers are also available by the growler alongside a large selection of whiskeys and other spirits. (354 Metropolitan Ave., Brooklyn; 718-963-3404)
We will never see the last of SIDEbar, because they are always down to party — and of course they’re getting pumped for Memorial Day. This slick sports bar known for their weekend turnout is going to explode this Memorial Day, so it’s a good thing you have an extra weekend day. Get down and dirty with a special open bar package from 7 PM - 10 PM, at $60 or better yet follow this link — use the code MDW2017 and bring that price down to a mere $19.
The hippest hipster hotspot in all of Brooklyn, Union Pool is a fun bar which also happens to feature a spacious outdoor area with an outdoor bar included. Don’t be afraid to hang out all day, because the taco truck in the back is famous for their insanely good grub that’ll keep you going this Memorial Day. Being a music venue, Union Pool will have musical acts featured all weekend long, so definitely check the calendar, because you may be seeing your favorite band.
