Ten years after the opening of Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels in SoHo, Experimental Group is set to open its second Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels wine bar in New York: La Compagnie Wine Bar Flatiron (La Compagnie Flatiron). Following the wine bar, the group will also open Experimental Cocktail Club New York (ECC New York). Both bars will be located at 6 West 24th Street in New York’s Flatiron neighborhood, with ECC’s subterranean bar tucked underneath La Compagnie.
Hundreds of bottles from small producers, both local and international, will be the highlight of La Compagnie Flatiron, with a nod to French and American estates served by a team of passionate sommeliers. Programming will include in-house events such as the legendary "Jurassic Park" Jura wine party, a continuation of the dynamic “Wine Boot Camp'' education series, and a daily “Mystery Wine” to taste.
Chosen to perfectly match the vast selection of Champagne, a wide choice of hyper-local and inventive seasonal snacks, as would be enjoyed at a French dinner party, will be available to order. The evening menu, curated by Managing Partner and Executive Chef Eric Bolyard, will revolve around luxurious grilled meats, sustainable seafood, and regional vegetables designed to accentuate a fine selection of Burgundies and Bordeaux, Barolos and Brunellos, and even old Californian and other American vintages.
About Experimental Group
Experimental Group was founded in 2007 by three childhood friends: Olivier Bon, Pierre-Charles Cros and Romée de Goriainoff. Xavier Padovani later joined the group and their shared vision: to offer the ultimate hospitality experience to discerning clientele. Renowned for bringing the cocktail bar culture to Paris, Experimental Group operates five Experimental Cocktail Club bars in Paris, London, Venice, the Cotswolds and Verbier. To the mix, the group has added STEREO, a late night restaurant and bar with live music; Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels, a wine bar concept in Paris, London and New York City; and Ibiza’s iconic beach club, Experimental Beach. Today, the flagship of the group is its hotel collection with ten hotels across London, the Cotswolds, Biarritz, Paris, Ibiza, Menorca, Verbier and Venice, where each hotel offers something unique, be it a bar, restaurant or spa.
