We were there for a ticketed party, and all if the drinks tasted/felt like they were alcohol-free. I watched the bartender make three rounds of tequila drinks for my group, and we all concluded each time that there didn't taste or smell any tequila in our drinks, and I felt not even the slightest effect from my drinks.
I also heard at least 5 strangers complain among themselves that their $20 drinks seemed to have no alcohol.

$57 for two cocktails in a plastic cup. watch out for the bartender who grabs your card and defaults to a 20% tip ($10 for 2 drinks). nice view tho

Had a great time hanging with friends at the rooftop bar at the Arlo Hotel in Williamsburg. The DJ kept the vibe going, the crowd was lively, and the views—especially of the iconic water tower—were absolutely stunning. Drinks are on the pricier side, but the setting and skyline backdrop make it worth it. Other guests rave about the stylish design, energetic atmosphere, and perfect photo ops. It gets busy, so arriving early is a good idea. If you're looking for a trendy rooftop experience in Williamsburg, the Arlo delivers.

Got in easy, but the bar wasnt open and now we have to wait in a 30+ min line to leave. We’re trapped here.

I can't rate anything other than the atmosphere, as we just walked in to check the place out. Located in a huge old water tank on top of the new Arlo Hotel (the former Williamsburg Hotel), the 360° view is just amazing!
Cozy spot with amazing panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline and a great gin selection. The service was incredible. The bartender was very personable and took his time telling me the history and flavor profile of various gins.

Views were nice, but $45 for 2 drinks was ridiculous.

We had an incredible experience at The Water Tower Bar! The bar offers a stunning city skyline view that really sets the mood. A special shoutout to General Manager Witmark, who made us feel very comfortable and welcomed throughout our visit. Our bartender, Jasmine, was so friendly and crafted amazing drinks. We’ll definitely be back for another great time

Such a beautiful view of the city! The climb to the bar entrance was great for photo ops. I expected a classier experience once inside. Drinks were served in plastic cups which I totally get for a weekend club vibe. However I was there on a very chill weekday. There wasn’t really a cocktail list to choose from so just winged it. My friend’s mocktail was overpriced and just ok. My drink was blah. Design wise, there’s an opportunity for more seating inside. All in all, good place to grab a quick beer or glass of wine and take some pics.
