The Brooklyn Bridge draws millions of walkers, but the happy hour scene on either end rewards those who venture a block or two beyond the tourist path. DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights on one side, and the Financial District on the other, offer bars with bridge views and weekday specials that locals have been using for years. Cross the bridge, find a barstool, and enjoy the view from ground level.
