Place des Fêtes

What Place des Fêtes does

Place des Fêtes is a single-location neighborhood wine bar and seasonal restaurant operating at 212 Greene Avenue in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. The concept is built around a curated selection of natural wines from Spain and France — with emphasis on Catalan regions and southwest France — paired with seasonal small plates and sustainable, seafood-forward cuisine. The business is owned and operated by Redwood Hospitality, a multi-concept NYC operator whose portfolio also includes Cafe Mado, Laurel Bakery, Golden Ratio, and Oxalis.

The core offering spans walk-in and reservation-based dine-in service (Sunday–Thursday 5:30pm–10pm, Friday–Saturday 5:30pm–10:30pm), a tiered private events program (communal tables for 16, backroom buyouts up to 40, full restaurant buyouts up to 100, and the L'Escala private dining room for 18–25 guests), Chef's Tasting Menus, and ancillary digital products including gift cards ($50–$500) and branded merchandise (a $9 wine key). Pricing is unit-based: cocktails $18–$20, wines by the glass $15–$19, and bottles ranging from $12 to over $600, with event packages anchored at $30–$40 per person minimums.

The business model is direct-to-consumer with no proprietary technology; operations rely on third-party platforms — Bentobox for the website and e-commerce, and Resy for reservations. Marketing is conducted through organic social channels (Instagram, Facebook), an email newsletter, and on-platform reservation traffic. The customer base is split across local Clinton Hill diners, private event hosts, and natural wine enthusiasts, served by a team of 1–10 employees. The company is privately held, generates no publicly disclosed revenue, and has no disclosed funding rounds or expansion plans.
