Prospect Heights has quietly become one of Brooklyn's best neighborhoods for after-work drinks. Bar-and-restaurants, dive bars, and wine spots line Vanderbilt and Washington Avenue, with a range of happy hour deals that suit different budgets. The neighborhood benefits from its proximity to Prospect Park and the Barclays Center, drawing a mix of locals and event-goers. The scene is growing without losing its neighborhood feel.
