Find outdoor dining in Brooklyn, compare patios and rooftop bars, and check estimated sun hours before heading out. Sun estimates use the sun's position, available venue sun hours and local weather where available. Guest sun reports are separate observations, not a guarantee of sunshine at a particular table. Coverage is a selection of listed places, not every restaurant in the city. Browse free, or share a group poll to choose where to meet.

Sun forecasts, with limits made clear
Compare estimated sun hours for 7 listed spots in Brooklyn. Calculations and venue-provided hours help with planning, but buildings, umbrellas and a table's position can change actual conditions.
Ratings where available
Check available Google and Sun Map guest ratings alongside venue details. Missing ratings do not imply a place has been reviewed.
Live reports from locals
Guest reports describe conditions someone observed at a venue. Where available, compare these with the forecast; a report is not a promise about your table.

Browse available rooftop, waterfront and shade categories. Details depend on the tags and sun hours recorded for each venue.
