The bartenders were absolutely incredible, the space was beautiful and it was just the perfect size and feel for what we wanted. The drink were incredible and the charcuterie table was chefs kiss. I would absolutely do another event here!

From start to finish Tyler and the crew at Festival were incredible responsive, helpful and delivered on all that was discussed and promised. The venue itself has such a great vibe, the space was ideal for our team to get together and spend some quality downtime together. The service was exceptional and the food and beverages were delicious! We would most definitely consider Festival when planning to host another event - without a doubt!

FESTIVÁL is a new concept in dining. We are a 'Farm-to-Bar' cocktail café.

The cocktails and cuisine are at the vanguard of taste. There is no coursing. The food and drinks come out as they are ready. We are best known for our share plates however there are larger menu items available for those looking for a full meal.

There are no substitutions or custom ordering. The menu is fixed. We are the perfect establishment for date night or a large party!

Festival Cafe NYC is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.
