All-Season, Winter-Friendly Outdoor Dining at BABA’s Heated + Covered Backyard in Williamsburg

outdoor dining is always in-season @baba!

let’s set the scene: it’s winter in williamsburg, the air’s bitter, maybe there’s a little snow on the ground, and the idea of venturing out for dinner feels like a dare.

but then you remember:

suddenly, winter feels a little less intimidating and a lot more inviting.

brooklyn doesn’t stop when the seasons change, and neither does baba. our backyard is where cozy meets cool, offering a space that feels intimate and vibey no matter what the weather’s doing.

so whether you’re meeting friends for drinks, heading out on a date, or just looking for a spot to shake off the cabin fever, baba’s got you covered (literally).

why winter dining @ baba hits different

a lot of places in brooklyn boast about their outdoor spaces, but let’s be real—most of them pack it up when the temperatures drop.

at baba, we don’t just keep our backyard open year-round; we make it the place to be. here’s why our winter-friendly setup is unmatched:

• the heat is on: we’re not talking about a sad little heat lamp in the corner. baba’s backyard is fully heated, so you can actually relax and enjoy your meal without layering up like you’re heading to the arctic. think cozy, not cold

• covered, not cramped: the backyard’s clear covering keeps out the elements without sacrificing the open-air vibe. no rain, no snow, no worries—just that perfect balance of indoor comfort and outdoor energy

• vibes for days: string lights, lush greenery, and the kind of dimly-lit ambiance that makes you want to stay all night. it’s giving effortless romance, chill hangout vibes, and “did i just step into a hidden oasis?” energy all at once

the menu: fire food + natural wine for your winter vibes

winter dining at baba isn’t just about staying warm—it’s about what’s on the table.

our menu is built for sharing, snacking, and sipping, with cozy plates that feel like a hug in food form. think hearty flavors, natural wines that warm you from the inside out, and cocktails that pack a punch.

• small plates that shine: panisse with remoulade and espelette, bouillabaisse toast topped with rock shrimp and fennel confit, and baby beets paired with walnut dukkah and fromage blanc that’ll make you forget it’s winter entirely

• carafes of natural wine: nothing says “all-season vibes” like a shared carafe of pét-nat or orange wine, perfectly paired with your plates

• seasonal cocktails: our winter menu doesn’t shy away from the bold—mulled wine, spicy margs, and espresso martinis to keep the night going strong

winter-friendly + first-date-approved

so, you’re planning a date. it’s the middle of january, and you want somewhere cozy, a little romantic, but not over the top.

baba’s backyard is basically made for this. dim lighting? check. intimate vibes? check. a carafe of wine and shareable plates to break the ice? double check.

even better, baba hits that perfect balance of casual and elevated. it’s laid-back enough to keep things low-pressure but cool enough to make an impression.

plus, nothing says “i planned this” like picking a spot with a heated outdoor space in the dead of winter.

group hangs, birthday dinners + more

the backyard isn’t just for dates—it’s the ultimate spot for private events & parties in brooklyn too.

whether it’s a low-key birthday dinner, a wine night with your crew, or just an excuse to get out of the house, the space flexes to fit your vibe.

need more room? no problem.

our setup makes it easy to mix and match tables for larger groups, so everyone can squeeze in without feeling cramped.

and with the heaters cranked up, even your perpetually cold friend won’t have anything to complain about.
