Worth it
  • Address212 Greene Ave, Brooklyn
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Live in New York City long enough and you’ll find it hard to believe that wine bars aren’t always known for food. But “compromise” is rarely employed in. This trendy NYC wine bar moonlights as a restaurant with expertly-sourced wines and step up small plates (with an emphasis on seafood).

Given the name, it’s easy to assume Place des Fêtes specializes in French wines, but that’s only half the story. Spanish wines get the lion’s share of by-the-glass real estate, leaning heavily toward natural wine. The approachable wine list and cozy vibes makes this a popular neighborhood haunt for relaxing evenings and memorable wines.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
