Place des Fêtes
A serious but relaxed wine bar from the Oxalis orbit with seasonal cooking, thoughtful glasses, and understated confidence.
Why we ranked it a top bar:
At 212 Greene Avenue, Place des Fêtes is a wine bar for people who have survived wine bars. It is serious, yes, but it does not jab you in the ribs with its seriousness. The room has the grace of restraint: seasonal cooking, thoughtful glasses, and the quiet confidence of a place that does not need to shout “natural wine” across the borough.
Who would like it: wine lovers, food-minded drinkers, Clinton Hill locals, couples seeking intimacy, and small groups that dislike noisy chaos.
Drinks: wine, especially by the glass, with a selective and thoughtful hand.
Food: seasonal and central to the experience.
Crowd: calm, tasteful, neighborhood-smart, and perhaps better read than average.
Best night: Tuesday or Wednesday, when conversation has room to bloom.
Price: not confirmed in the report.
The report ranks it No. 2 on Time Out Brooklyn’s 2025 list and ties it to the Oxalis team.
