Water Street Restaurant & Lounge

Owner

We are Situated on the cobblestone streets of Dumbo's historic waterfront in the shadows of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge, Water Street Restaurant & Lounge was built on the bottom two floors of a landmark warehouse and iron foundry. The owner and operators of Water Street transformed over 7,000 square feet of dramatic raw space that dates back to 1887, into an amazing venue that straddles the line between lounge, restaurant, catering and party space. Water Street Restaurant & Lounge offers the finest quality Seafood Cuisine. Our food is fresh daily and our menu is something to excite all tastes! Come and try our Blue Star Dragonfish, oysters and clams on the half, steamed crablegs, shrimp, and much more! There's always something happening at Water Street. Come have a drink, have dinner, have a party or chat at the bar. We look forward to the pleasure of your company!

The Scene
DUMBO still mystifies: Its cobblestone streets are deserted once the sun goes down, yet luxury buildings continue to pop up, then fill up with posh residents. 66 Water Street, tucked away just a block from the East River, looks to be the neighborhood's local tavern, with a long wooden bar that could date back to the turn of the century--or could be brand new. Overlook the too-bright lighting and the tepid music in this vast, brick-walled space and focus instead on the choice ironwork on the stairway railings: It recalls the girders of the nearby Brooklyn Bridge.

The Draw
Location, location, location--rarely do the words resonate so. If the 'hood were swimming with nightlife options, Water Street wouldn't be anything special. But if DUMBO residents don't have to stray too far from home, and the selection of beers on tap is passable, then it's a welcome addition to the nabe. And don't fear Brooklyn, out-of-borough travelers: 66 Water Street's business card features a decent map so you'll be able to find your way back.
