Just across the bridge in Williamsburg is the coolest rooftop bar at the Wythe Hotel - The Ides, located on the sixth floor of the century-old building. Along with their fine selection of cocktails and drinks, they also serve small plates against the most beautiful view of New York you can get in the neighborhood. The prices are much cheaper than in Manhattan, and you can get a good seat if you come early.
