What We Are All About

FESTIVÁL is a Farm-to-Bar cocktail café on Manhattan's Upper East Side where seasonal ingredients, craft cocktails, and thoughtful hospitality come together.

Just as Farm-to-Table restaurants focus on fresh, responsibly sourced food, our Farm-to-Bar philosophy applies the same principles to the bar. We craft cocktails using fresh herbs, seasonal produce, house-made ingredients, and premium spirits alongside a menu of seasonal dishes, fresh oysters, brunch favorites, and shareable plates.

Whether you're joining us for happy hour, brunch with family, a date night, live music, a cocktail class, or a private event, FESTIVÁL is designed to bring people together through great food, drinks, and experiences.

From large group reservations and corporate events to bridal showers, birthday parties, and full venue buyouts, we're more than a restaurant or cocktail bar—we're one of the Upper East Side's favorite gathering places.
