Sunrise/Sunset
Bushwick (East), New York City
Bar in New York City, United States
Why go
Sunrise/Sunset sits at 351 Evergreen Ave in Bushwick, Brooklyn, drawing a relaxed, neighbourhood-local crowd that prefers low-key over polished. With limited verified data on pricing, cuisine, or hours, it's easiest to book as a walk-in for a casual evening. For special occasions requiring more certainty, Amor y Amargo or Attaboy NYC offer better-documented alternatives.
About Sunrise/Sunset
Sunrise/Sunset, Bushwick: The Verdict
351 Evergreen Ave puts Sunrise/Sunset squarely in Bushwick, one of Brooklyn's most active neighbourhoods for bars and late-night venues; and that location alone tells you something about who goes here and what they expect. With almost no public data on pricing, hours, or awards, this is a venue where your research has to start on the ground. What we can tell you: if you're planning a special occasion or a date night and want a sure-thing experience with credentials, there are better-documented options in this city. If Bushwick's low-key, neighbourhood-first energy is exactly what you're after, Sunrise/Sunset is worth investigating; but go in with realistic expectations about the information available before you book.
Atmosphere and Crowd
Bushwick draws a specific crowd: creative professionals, local regulars, people who actively avoid the more polished bar scenes of the West Village or Lower East Side. Sunrise/Sunset, positioned in this part of Brooklyn, almost certainly pulls from that same pool. The name and address suggest a neighbourhood bar rather than a destination cocktail programme, the kind of place where the room matters as much as the drink list, where you're more likely to find a relaxed Tuesday crowd than a reservation-heavy weekend scene. That's a positive if you want to actually talk to the person across from you. It's a limitation if you need the assurance of a curated experience for, say, a first date or a birthday dinner. For that, Amor y Amargo or Angel's Share give you a more defined atmosphere with a known track record.
Booking and Access
No phone number or website is listed in our database, which makes advance booking difficult to confirm. Walk-in appears to be the most practical approach here. Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which suggests this isn't the kind of venue that fills up weeks in advance, a practical advantage if you're planning something last-minute. For context, if you're working from Manhattan and considering the trip to Bushwick, factor in the travel time: this is not a drop-in-after-work location for most of the city. Check current hours directly before visiting, as no confirmed hours are available here.
Special Occasions: What to Know
For a date or celebration, Sunrise/Sunset is a reasonable choice if you're already embedded in the Bushwick scene and know the venue personally. For an out-of-neighbourhood trip built around a special occasion, the lack of data, no confirmed cuisine type, no price range, no awards, makes it harder to recommend over more established alternatives. If you want Brooklyn with more certainty, Superbueno offers a well-documented experience with a clear identity. For cocktail-focused date nights with a quieter room, Attaboy NYC is worth the consideration.
How It Compares
Against Manhattan's more established bar options, Sunrise/Sunset occupies a different register entirely. Angel's Share and Amor y Amargo both have documented cocktail programmes and verifiable track records, if technical precision or a specific drinks focus matters to you, either of those gives you more to work with before you walk in the door. For neighbourhood energy closer to what Sunrise/Sunset likely offers, Superbueno is a known quantity in the Brooklyn-adjacent conversation and easier to pre-plan around.
Outside New York, if you're benchmarking against bars with a similar neighbourhood-anchor feel but stronger documentation, Bar Leather Apron in Honolulu and Jewel of the South in New Orleans show what a well-run neighbourhood-adjacent bar looks like when the programme is fully legible. Julep in Houston is a useful reference for unpretentious bars that still have a clear identity.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Sunrise/Sunset reads like a product of Bushwick's bar evolution: experimental, wine-forward and intentionally unpretentious. The venue is described as part of a generation of Brooklyn places that prioritize curation without the affectation that can come from Manhattan comparables. That balance—a focused wine and spirit program paired with an emphasis on the room's energy—creates a modern, trend-aware bar that still feels approachable. Regulars and curious guests alike find a space that rewards attention to the drink list while keeping the social atmosphere lively rather than formal.
Best For
This is a spot for people who care about what’s in the glass without wanting ceremony. Because Sunrise/Sunset positions wine and spirits curation as central programming, it suits small groups and pairs who enjoy exploring thoughtfully assembled pours, and anyone who wants a casual, characterful evening out in Bushwick. The bar’s emphasis on list breadth and a lively room makes it a good pick for neighborhood hangouts, pre- or post-dinner drinks with friends, and visitors seeking an accessible, well-curated alternative to more precious Manhattan addresses.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the bar’s curatorial approach: the description repeatedly frames wine and spirit selection as a core aspect of the program, so ask staff about notable bottles by the glass and standout curated pours. Because the venue prizes breadth of list and experimental format, bartenders are likely to guide you toward lesser-known producers or spirit-forward selections that fit your taste. If you want to sample the bar’s point of view, request recommendations that showcase its wine-and-spirits balance rather than defaulting to familiar labels.

Bar context
Compared to Manhattan's more documented cocktail bars, Sunrise/Sunset operates in a different register. Angel's Share on the Lower East Side has a long-established cocktail programme and a clearly defined intimate atmosphere; if you need assurance of quality before you walk in, it's the stronger bet for a date or special occasion. Amor y Amargo is the right pick if you want a focused, bitters-led drinks experience with a verifiable track record. Neither requires a cross-borough trip, both have the kind of documented identity that makes pre-planning easier.
For Brooklyn-anchored evenings with a clearer sense of what you're getting, Superbueno is a better-documented neighbourhood option with a defined food and drinks programme. If the Bushwick energy is specifically what you're after, Sunrise/Sunset may fit; but Superbueno gives you more information to make the decision on. Attaboy NYC is worth the detour if cocktail quality is the priority and you're willing to queue rather than reserve.
The honest read: for first-time visitors or anyone planning around a specific occasion, the more established venues win on certainty. Sunrise/Sunset makes the most sense for people already familiar with the Bushwick scene who are happy to walk in and see what the night brings. If that's you, the easy booking and neighbourhood setting are genuine advantages over the reservation-heavy bars elsewhere in the city.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Sunrise/Sunset have happy hour deals?
No happy hour details are confirmed in our database. Bushwick bars at this price point and format often run early-evening drink specials, but nothing specific to Sunrise/Sunset is documented. If deals are the priority, The Long Island Bar in Carroll Gardens has a more established and publicly listed bar programme worth comparing.
What's the crowd like at Sunrise/Sunset?
Expect creative professionals, local Bushwick regulars, people who actively bypass the more polished Manhattan bar circuit. This is not a scene for bottle service or cocktail theatre. The address on Evergreen Ave puts it in a neighbourhood that attracts people who know the area rather than tourists following a list.
Is the food good at Sunrise/Sunset?
Cuisine type is not listed in our database, so we can't give a verdict on the kitchen. If food is central to your plan, anchor your night around a confirmed dining option and treat Sunrise/Sunset as the drinks stop. Superbueno or Dirty French are documented options if you want a fuller food experience in the same booking.
Is Sunrise/Sunset good for a date?
It works for a date if you're already familiar with Bushwick and know the venue personally. The neighbourhood vibe and low-key format can play well for a relaxed evening, but no booking infrastructure is confirmed, which means you're walking in without a guaranteed setup. For a more structured date with confirmed ambience, Amor y Amargo in the East Village offers a tighter, more intentional experience.
What's the signature drink at Sunrise/Sunset?
No menu data is available in our records, so we won't speculate on specific drinks. Given the Bushwick creative-bar context, expect a focused drinks list over an encyclopaedic cocktail menu. If a particular signature is on the chalkboard when you arrive, that's your best read of what the bar does well.
Do I need a reservation at Sunrise/Sunset?
No reservation infrastructure is confirmed. No phone number or website is listed in our database, making advance booking difficult regardless. Walk-in is the practical route. Go earlier in the evening if a guaranteed spot matters, particularly on weekends when Bushwick foot traffic is high.
