Outdoor Drinking?

newyork123

Hey!
New to the hood...
Have a few buddies visiting this weekend and since it's going to be so beautiful I'd like to go to a place outside, during the day, to have some beers. A lot of places (beer gardens and the like) don't open the outdoor space til April. Know any good spots? Thanks!

Didn't the Gowanus Yacht Club open?

How about Bar Tabac at Smith and Dean or that restaurant that keeps changing names at the corner of Pacific and Smith? I don't know if their outdoor seating is open yet.. There's also Robin Des Bois (sp?) in the same area.

Thanks guys, all really helpful.
Passed by Bar Tabac yesterday it looks nice. I'll keep it as an option.
Just called Gowanus Yacht Club, they don't open til end march/beginning of april but that is a great spot.
I'll check out robin des bois too, thanks!

A little further afield is Franklin park on St. Johns by Franklin Ave. Outdoor yard and indoor bar. Great beer and good atmosphere.

Abilene on Court and 3rd is my favorite outdoor drinking in Carroll Gardens. Great bar menu too.
