Gowanus Yacht Club

This ironically named dive is one of the best outdoor bars in the city. Named for a nearby polluted industrial canal, you won't find any boats here, but instead tasteful craft and import beers as well as savory sausages and hamburgers.

Gowanus Yacht Club supplies everything you need to feel like your're hosting your own personal backyard BBQ. The only limitation on this Brooklyn gem would be that it's only open during the summer season, and that it also happens to be completely outdoors. So if the weather's warm and the sun is shinning, head over to the Gowanus Yacht Club for some outstanding outdoor drinking and eating.
