Nightlife in Brooklyn NY

Brooklyn nightlife is just as exciting as Manhattan nightlife, but less touristy

Nightlife in Brooklyn

Brooklyn nightlife, contrary to popular belief, is every bit as exciting as Manhattan nightlife, though perhaps less touristy and expensive. Because of Manhattan's ongoing gentrification, many artists, entrepreneurs, and small business owners have been forced across the East River to avoid outrageous rent increases. Today, Brooklyn is widely regarded as New York City's next up-and-coming borough, with a wide and eclectic variety of bars, restaurants, and nightlife. Its popularity is such that its westernmost neighborhoods are already becoming increasingly gentrified.

If you're looking for an authentic New York experience, we encourage you to visit some of the Brooklyn bars and clubs below. Take care, however, traveling back to your hotel at night; while crime in Brooklyn has decreased dramatically in the last few years, you will still want to exercise common sense. Don't travel alone if you can avoid it, and avoid unpopulated areas. For more New York City safety tips, visit our Safety in New York City page.
