The Oak Barrel is a perfect reflection of host Adam himself. Bold and yet comforting, there is an ease about this home that immediately gives you that holiday feel.

Pop up to the roof to watch Manhattan unfold before you and appreciate the fact that you won’t get a better view of the iconic skyline than from this corner of Brooklyn – especially at night.

About Williamsburg
Williamsburg is the home of hipsterism – it’s where the cool kids hang out.
