You get a Red Hook Tavern reservation by catching a cancellation the moment it appears on Resy. The tavern is effectively never openly bookable, so the seats real diners grab come from other guests giving up reservations. Those openings surface at random hours, so an alert that watches Resy for you beats refreshing the page yourself.

We do not have a confirmed exact daily release time for Red Hook Tavern, so we will not guess one. Unlike many Resy restaurants that roll a new date onto the edge of the window at a fixed morning time, the tavern's bookable moments in our data come almost entirely from cancellations, which surface at unpredictable hours.
Red Hook Tavern cancellations do not arrive at a fixed clock time. They surface at random hours as booked guests change plans, and each freed seat is bookable by whoever sees it first.

Yes, Red Hook Tavern is one of the hardest tables in Brooklyn to book. Across 45,420 availability checks, it showed a bookable table on 0% of the dates we tracked, which means it is effectively never openly bookable. It is a beloved American tavern in the Red Hook neighborhood, known for its dry-aged burger and chops, from Billy Durney of Hometown Bar-B-Que, and it books on Resy.
A 0% score does not mean the tavern never seats anyone. It means a table almost never sits open long enough for a normal person to find it and claim it. Demand runs so far ahead of the small dining room that the calendar stays empty on the days you check, so refreshing Resy at a random hour almost always shows nothing available.
Red Hook Tavern books on Resy with a 14-day booking window, so the furthest out you can plan is two weeks ahead. We do not have a confirmed exact daily release time for the tavern, so it is not worth setting an alarm for a specific minute. What our data shows instead is that the openings you can actually catch come almost entirely from cancellations rather than from a predictable daily batch.
For comparison, many Resy restaurants roll one new bookable date onto the far edge of the window each day, often at a fixed morning time, so there is a single moment when a fresh date appears. Red Hook Tavern does not behave that way in our records. Its bookable moments look scattered and cancellation-driven, which is why watching for a specific drop time is the wrong strategy here.
In practice, a Red Hook Tavern table means catching a cancellation the instant it appears. Because the tavern is effectively never openly bookable, the seats a real diner can grab come from someone else giving up a reservation. Those cancellations do not arrive at a fixed clock time. They surface at random hours as plans change and parties shrink, and the freed seat is bookable by whoever sees it first.
The reliable path is to be watching Resy continuously so you reach the seat while it is still there. No person can refresh the page every few minutes for days, which is exactly the gap an alert fills. SnagRes watches Red Hook Tavern on Resy around the clock and emails or texts you the moment a table opens, which is how people actually get in without refreshing all day.

Red Hook Tavern tables open up at unpredictable moments, not on a schedule you can plan around. Because the openings in our data come almost entirely from cancellations, a seat can appear at 3 PM on a Tuesday or late on a Sunday night, whenever a booked guest decides not to come. Each of those windows is short, so the seat is gone quickly if nothing is watching for it.
That is why manual refreshing rarely works and an alert does. SnagRes re-checks Red Hook Tavern on Resy around the clock and tells you by email or text the moment a table opens, so you hear about a cancellation while the seat is still there instead of finding it already taken. You get to react in seconds rather than staring at an empty calendar for days.
