Arden

Our Story

A neighborhood
restaurant that’s
truly ambitious.

Arden is located in the heart of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, steps from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, and Prospect Park.

Our locally-focused, globally conscious menu changes with the season and highlights our beloved wood fire grill. Every plate is a conversation between what grows nearby and what we’ve learned cooking around the world.

We have a full bar with an inventive cocktail menu and a wine list that’s as much fun to drink through as it is to read.

The Bar

“The cocktails
alone are worth
the trip.”

An inventive cocktail program rooted in seasonal spirits, house-made syrups, and ingredients foraged from the same farms that feed the kitchen. Paired with a wine list of 60+ labels — weighted toward natural producers, biodynamic growers, and bottles that make you want a second glass.
