The night here
This area takes in DUMBO’s warehouse blocks between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, the brownstone streets of Brooklyn Heights, and the office and shopping district of Downtown Brooklyn. Its night is more about views and dinners than bars: Brooklyn Bridge Park stays open until 1 a.m., and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade looks straight at Lower Manhattan.
Montague Street and Atlantic Avenue have the most licences. Transit is excellent: Borough Hall, Jay St–MetroTech and DeKalb Avenue stations have many all-night lines, and the Brooklyn Bridge walkway is the most scenic way back to Manhattan.
When it gets loud
144 complaints about loud music or parties at bars, clubs and other businesses were made to 311 from here in the last 12 months (46 per km², #22 of 24). 49% came in between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., and 42% on Friday and Saturday nights.
Each row is an evening running into the next morning (the Saturday row ends Sunday at noon). Darker = more complaints. Source: NYC 311 service requests, “Noise – Commercial: Loud Music/Party”.
