//The line

Starting April 13, 2026, Brooklyn Crab stopped taking reservations on weekends, shifting to first-come-first-served seating due to high demand at the Red Hook waterfront venue (therooftopguide.com).

Reservations are still accepted through Resy on weekdays, and the venue also welcomes walk-ins generally, but the weekend policy change signals that demand had outstripped the reservation system's ability to manage the line (therooftopguide.com).
