Best Cocktail Bars in Brighton Beach

I absolutely loved the place. the ambiance. the vibes. the drinks. AMAZING!!!!

I had dinner here last week, and it completely exceeded my expectations. It’s a rare find—sophisticated yet focused on the little details that make a big difference. The menu has a great mix of lighter and heartier options, and everything I tried was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The cocktails were another highlight—creative, fun, and perfectly balanced without ever feeling gimmicky. The staff were super friendly and attentive without hovering, always appearing just when we needed them. And that ocean view? Stunning. It made the whole experience feel extra special. This is definitely a spot I’ll be recommending—and coming back to!

We always have a great time at Bar Contra. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Small plates from wild air are delicious and the cocktails are creative and there is something for every one. Theo is the best! We always try to sit at the bar when him and his colleague are there, usually on Fridays. Will be coming back repeatedly

Very hip place with sweeping NYC views. Drink prices are on the high end, but well worth it for this type of experience.

Went there with my girls last night it was their first time there and they enjoyed their selves food was good drinks was good the service was good kept checking to make sure we were all good or if we needed anything music was at a right volume, not too loud. They enjoyed their selves and so did I!
