Fans of drinking outdoors, your day has finally come: the rooftop bar at Hotel LeBleu on Fourth Avenue is open.
Nearly two years after the indigo-hued, $200-a-night boutique hotel opened next to a taxi garage and a nephrology center, the open-air watering hole that had been promised from Day One is now serving up cocktails and snacks.
Of course, The Brooklyn Paper team was on hand at the start. Click the video screen above to see our report from the field.

The rooftop bar at Hotel Le Bleu is now open. At nine floors up, the traffic of Fourth Avenue is but a whisper and the views are exceptional.
