Where to Watch the Oscars in Brooklyn this Year

I’m always looking for a good excuse to lose count of the glasses of champagne I drink on Sundays. And this weekend gives us the best one of all. So fill out those ballots, dress up in your sparkly things, make inappropriate speeches, talk about politics in front of a crowd, forget to thank your mom, and do drugs in the back of a limo with some new friends. It’s Oscars Sunday and the race for Best Viewing Party in Brooklyn is heating up, folks. So cast your vote by attending one of the parties I’ve chosen for you below. And don’t thank me… just, if there’s a category this year for “Best Social Voice in Brooklyn,” write me in.’

I already have my speech prepared.

2019 Oscars Extravaganza at Threes Brewing in Gowanus

My pick for the best-all-around Oscars viewing party is at Threes Brewing. Hosted by comedians Kendra Cunningham and Stephen Scheffer, they’ll welcome you in your finest Oscar’s garb or your hungover little self in sweatpants. Viewers will only be judged by their ability to hold and drink beers, and overall enthusiasm for the Oscar’s trivia. The party goes from 7-midnight, prizes will be awarded for trivia and best dressed, if you really wow them. Info here, 333 Douglass St.

The Alt Oscar Awards with Kostume Kult at the Tilden Mansion in Gramercy

The only reason you have to cross the river this Sunday and also the award by far for the fanciest, most exclusive yet elusive Oscar’s viewing party goes to Kostume Kult’s 8th annual Alt Oscar’s party. They’ll be taking over the Tilden Mansion right on Gramercy park and invite you to don your weirdest and wildest getups to impress this Burning Man camp’s judges in so many different categories, including

The Skint’s Academy Awards Party at Littlefield in Gowanus

The Skint takes over Littlefield for what promises to be the most approachable and attractive Academy Awards party this year. Free popcorn, free (glass of) champagne, plus a regal red carpet and a photo booth to make you feel paparazzied as fuck. This is the epitome of everything we love about the Skint – free, fun, and fucking fantastic, this performance is sure to be a memorable one. Party starts at 6:30pm. Info here. 635 Sackett St.

Humboldt and Jackson Oscar Viewing Party in Williamsburg

In my Humboldt opinion, this is one of the best places to watch the Oscars this Sunday.  The fancy back room at Humboldt and Jackson welcomes you in your red carpet attire. Photo booth, costume contest with amazing prizes and all the best bites and drinks in town. Party is free, reserve your spot here now. 6pm-midnight. 434 Humboldt St.

Ultra Mega Oscars Viewing Party at Nitehawk Cinema in Williamsburg AND Park Slope

The one that sweeps all categories, including the ones you had no idea existed. What could be better than watching the Oscars on the big screen with a menu inspired by the most nominated films this year, plus star-studded cocktails, costume contests (with prizes from places like the Hoxton, which you definitely want) and a photo booth to add a strip of fancy to your fridge. The party starts at 7:30 and space is filling up fast, so get yours here now. See you there in your finest. 136 Metropolitan Ave.

Oscar Party at the Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg

The VIP ticket in Brooklyn goes to winery/event venue/small plates extraordinaire at the Brooklyn Winery. No cover here to enter wearing your Oscar’s finest and walk down the aisle down the red carpet, just a two drink minimum that will be oh so easy to meet given their adventurous and extensive wine list. There are no tickets or RSVP options, so get their early, or try saying “Brooklyn, I’m Trying” at the door. Then let me know if that works. Party starts at 6:30pm, more info here. 213 N 8th St.
