Meili Rooftop, now open atop the Coda Hotel in Williamsburg, brings skyline views and modern Sichuan flavors to the 8th floor. An extension of the ground-floor Meili restaurant, the rooftop concept is led by owner Miki Niu (CHILI, Wonderland Bar) and managing partner Jason Xie (Wonderland Bar), with a menu crafted by Michelin-starred Executive Chef Peter He.

Chef He, the only Chinese chef in NYC to hold a Michelin star for seven consecutive years, puts a refined spin on Sichuan street food—offering bold dishes like Dan Dan Noodles with mustard greens and sesame paste, and steamed or pan-fried Vegetable Dumplings.

Cocktails showcase regional inspiration too, such as the Yellow River with Meili vodka and Ming River baijiu, and the Lotus with Botanist Gin and St. Germain. A full wine list and N/A cocktails round out the beverage offerings.

The design reflects the same level of care as the menu. Guests enter through glass doors into a vibrant yet refined space anchored by a dark marble bar and framed by lush greenery and deep maroon textured walls. Plush seating and warm basket lighting invite lingering both indoors and out, with the retractable roof offering flexibility for all seasons. Outside, panoramic views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines—plus McCarren Park—make Meili Rooftop a standout summer destination.

Meili Rooftop is located at 160 N 12th St in Williamsburg. For more information, visit meiliwilliamsburg.com
