Your First Look At Happy Be, Tribeca's Artsy New Rooftop Hot Spot

If you've been wondering where all the cool kids will be drinking this summer, we've got your answer. 

Happy Be, a new rooftop bar overlooking Tribeca, is already an art world favorite, making its debut with a bash hosted by Artnet during Frieze week, attended by a slew of downtown insiders. 

Owned and operated by Dream Logic Hospitality, the slightly hidden watering hole is entered through a side door of the Walker Hotel on Cortlandt Alley, tucked among the street's lineup of contemporary art galleries. Once you head up on the elevator, you'll find a lush, greenery-lined oasis filled with relaxed banquettes, wooden pergolas, work from local artists, and private nooks practically made for chance encounters. The haunt's laid-back charm combines the energy of New York street culture with the romance of an English garden, and it gets its name from a line in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream that refers to a euphoric state of being. Sounds promising, no?

Happy Be is now open from 5 pm to 11 pm Tuesday through Thursday, and until midnight on Friday and Saturday. Stop by for one of their signature cocktails, which include the Tropical Negroni (coconut-infused rum, Campari, sweet vermouth, pineapple-moringa tea, and orange marmalade) and the Kombunation (kombu-infused rye whiskey, cognac, Benedictine, Cynar, Tio Pepe Sherry, wormwood bitter, ginseng, kombu-tincture) while taking in stunning 360-degree views of the city.
