One of New York City’s wildest summer traditions is back: Brew at the Zoo returns to the Bronx Zoo on Friday, June 13, promising an unforgettable night of craft beverages, food truck delights, and up-close animal encounters — all under the stars.
Running from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., the adults-only event is celebrating its return with an expanded lineup. This year, attendees can sample from over 100 varieties of beer, wine, seltzer, and non-alcoholic options at 60 plus pouring stations, and choose from 20 food trucks and vendors. Arrive early and enjoy access to select animal exhibits with zoo entry available until 7:30 p.m. Visitors can also explore the fan-favorite Dinosaur Safari, featuring more than 60 lifelike prehistoric creatures.
This year’s Brew introduces new themed areas to elevate the experience. Guests can hit the dance floor in the Retro Zone with 80s and 90s hits and live breakdancing, or test their aim in the Inflatable Axe Throwing zone. In honor of the event falling on Friday the 13th visitors can venture down Superstition Lane to challenge fate and reverse the curse. For a more laid-back vibe, the Backyard Party Zone offers swings, photo ops, and unique tastings.
With last year’s event selling out, early ticket purchase is strongly recommended. For more information and to secure tickets, visit the Bronx Zoo’s official website.
Whether you’re a beer lover, music fan, or just looking for a unique night out, Brew at the Zoo is roaring back with more to explore than ever.
