About Aura Rooftop
Rather than a high perch, the terrace sits five floors up among the towers of Brooklyn Village, laid out as a planted walkway leading to a long marble bar, lounge sofas and a covered, fire-lit section for cooler nights. The drinks list is built around botanical cocktails, and the kitchen's shareable plates carry much of the reputation: brisket sliders, avocado hummus, ahi tuna tacos, burnt-end lollipops and chicken satay come up again and again. It opens at 11am daily, closing at 11pm (9pm on Sunday), with a happy hour that fills the bar after work. The Google score is exceptional, 4.9 across more than 12,000 reviews, almost all crediting individual servers by name. Recurring complaints concern reaching the venue by phone for large-group bookings and uneven food, so booking online is the smoother route for weekends, when sunset tables go first.
