Where to Watch the Oscars in Brooklyn

Liz Norment — Fri, 02 Mar 2018 17:58:06 +0000

I’m always looking for a good excuse to lose count of the glasses of champagne I drink on Sundays. And this weekend gives us the best one of all. So fill out those ballots, dress up in your sparkly things, make inappropriate speeches, talk about politics in front of a crowd, forget to thank your mom, and do drugs in the back of a limo with some new friends. It’s Oscars Sunday and the race for Best Viewing Party in Brooklyn is heating up, folks. So cast your vote by attending one of the parties I’ve chosen for you below. And don’t thank me… just, if there’s a category this year for “Best Social Voice in Brooklyn,” write me in.

I already have my speech prepared.

TBD Closing + Oscars Party in Greenpoint

Another fantastic neighborhood spot closing due to the rise of highrises, rent, and douchebags in our fair town. Come commiserate, inebriate, and go down with the ship this Sunday at TBD. Their closing party will also be an Oscars viewing party so go. Cheap drinks. Free tears. Info here, 224 Franklin St.

Humboldt and Jackson Oscar Viewing Party in Williamsburg

In my Humboldt opinion, this is one of the best places to watch the Oscars this Sunday. The fancy back room at Humboldt and Jackson welcomes you in your red carpet attire. Photo booth, costume contest with amazing prizes and all the best bites and drinks in town. Party is free, reserve your spot here now. 6pm-midnight. 434 Humboldt St.

Oscars Party at (New!) Annicka in Greenpoint

What happens with the magic folks behind North Brooklyn Farms and Greenpoint Beer and Ale create a kitchen and restaurant pairing fantastic beers and farm-fresh food and a side of female empowerment? You get Annicka, the amazing new spot on Manhattan Ave, and also people who know how to throw a fucking party. Check out the space, the tastes, and have a free glass of bubbly, oscar-themed cocktails, and prizes. Info here. 544 Manhattan Ave.

Alt.Oscar Awards Party at House of Yes in Bushwick

Why celebrate celebrity culture when we can award all of the amazing artists and performers and creators around us? Come dressed in your finest, your weirdest, your funkiest and head to the Alt.Oscars Party at House of Yes. Prizes will be awarded for the Best Unintentional Comedy, Least Dressed, Best Briber, among so many others with amazing prizes awarded. It’s a variety awards show of sorts that will be way more entertaining than the actual Oscars, which by the way, will be shown on a huge screen with sound in a special viewing room. Tickets $10 available here. 6pm-midnight, 2 Wyckoff Ave.

Oscar Viewing Party at Northern Territory in Greenpoint

This tried-and-true Oscars viewing party tradition once again partners with everyone’s favorite insta-fanreel Taste of Streep and brings us a truly sparkling evening complete with Streep trivia, a red carpet, festive prizes and all the sparkling cocktails your little movie-loving heart desires.

Academy Awards Party at Littlefield in Gowanus

Littlefield transforms its charming theater space into the Dolby Theater and transports you straight to LA, minus all of the mindless assholes.
