Arlo Williamsburg

Arlo Williamsburg is a rooftop venue in Williamsburg that programs a curated calendar of DJ sets, live music, and day parties, including recurring events like Arlo After Dark and Palosanto.

Arlo Williamsburg programs its rooftop as a destination for nocturnal Brooklyn: not an afterthought to the hotel. The eight-story property, designed by Michaelis Boyd with brick, Corten steel, and double-height ceilings, anchors itself around a curated calendar of rooftop events: Arlo After Dark brings rotating lineups of DJs and live music under the Manhattan skyline; Palosanto returns annually with French house and disco; RIVA Sunset Saturdays builds community around Afro house; Azure Day Party launches seasonal programming. The Water Tower bar serves artisanal cocktails and rare spirits alongside these performances. Across event venues (the Ballroom with its 45-foot ceilings, the Mirror Bar, the rooftop pool) the space positions itself as a stage for Brooklyn's creative operators, wedding celebrations, and commercial shoots. What animates Arlo's ethos is the conviction that a hotel can be a gathering place, not a refuge from the neighborhood.
