Festivál Café is New York City's one-and-only Farm-to-Bar cocktail café, nestled on the Upper East Side at 61st and 2nd Avenue. More than a restaurant, more than a bar -- Festivál is a full-on experience, where scratch-made food and artfully crafted cocktails come together in a warm, lively neighborhood setting. The menu changes with the seasons, drawing on locally sourced, sustainably grown ingredients to create everything from fresh oysters and small plates to gourmet cuisine paired with show-stopping drinks. Whether you're stopping in for a weekday lunch, weekend bottomless brunch, or a cozy date night with live jazz, there's always something to celebrate.
At the heart of it all is Tyler Hollinger, co-owner and head mixologist, whose nearly two decades of experience orchestrating New York City's most dynamic events and experiences is evident in every corner of Festivál. With a background that spans entertainment -- acting and filmmaking for popular NYC-based shows -- to the art of the cocktail, Tyler brings a rare creative energy to everything he does. Under his guidance, Festivál Café isn't just raising the bar for what a cocktail café can be -- it's redefining it!
