Westlight

Westlight occupies the 22nd floor of the William Vale hotel in Williamsburg, with a wraparound outdoor terrace that looks across the East River toward Manhattan. The indoor room mixes black and white tile, grey banquette seating, and a stone bar, and connects to the terrace for events that want both a climate controlled lounge and open air space. The hotel's separate Turf Club rooftop offers a larger footprint for bigger private gatherings. Both spaces are booked through the hotel's dedicated events team, which handles proposals, birthdays, corporate parties, and holiday events. The bar's cocktail program comes from NoHo Hospitality Group, the team behind several other Manhattan and Brooklyn restaurants, and the room draws a mix of hotel guests and neighborhood regulars for its sunset views over the Williamsburg waterfront.
