The take
The Take
The Vibe
La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels Centre St presents a Parisian-rooted wine-bar ethos transplanted into SoHo. The room centers on the bottle list as the primary statement: food is described as framing wine rather than competing with it, and the concept is rooted in the cave à manger tradition. That seriousness — reinforced by consecutive Star Wine List recognition — gives the place a composed, classic charm. It reads less like a nightlife spectacle and more like a focused tasting room where provenance and curation matter, attracting drinkers who value depth, restraint, and a quietly polished atmosphere.
Best For
This is primarily a wine-focused destination best suited to evening visits when the bar's editorial list is the point of the experience. The programme’s consistent industry recognition signals that it rewards guests who come to explore bottles and producers rather than to chase trends. It naturally fits date nights and after-work pours, and it also works for small groups of committed wine lovers. Visitors who prioritize carefully curated selections and a measured, wine-centric outpost in SoHo get the most from a visit here.
Ordering Tips
Let the wine list lead: the description frames food as accompaniment to the bottle programme, so approach ordering with the wine front of mind. Ask staff about producer credibility and the rationale behind highlighted bottles — the venue’s consecutive Star Wine List accolades emphasize depth and curation rather than mainstream certification. Be open to bottles described as outside conventional certification, and solicit pairing guidance that treats small plates as a foil for the wine. Pace tasting choices to appreciate the programme’s breadth rather than treating the visit like a rapid, eclectic crawl.

Where to go if this does not fit
If the plan needs another wine-first option, try Gem Wine. If the group wants a more polished hotel-bar setting with broader appeal, choose The Crosby Bar instead.
Bar context
How it compares for a downtown drink
Choose La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels Centre St over Happy Bones when wine is the reason for the stop rather than coffee, a quick bite, or an all-day casual hang. It is also the more targeted pick than The Butcher's Daughter if the group wants a bar-led evening instead of a plant-forward restaurant setting.
Gem Wine is the closest cross-shop for readers who want another wine-forward option in New York City. Use Gem Wine as the backup if Centre Street timing does not work; keep La Compagnie as the pick when the plan is specifically Nolita-adjacent and the room needs to feel social without shifting into club mode.
The Blond and The Crosby Bar make more sense when the brief is hotel polish, cocktails, or a dressed-up lobby-bar feel. For value, La Compagnie is easier to justify when the spend is going toward wine selection rather than room theatrics. For the easiest fit with mixed groups, The Crosby Bar may be safer; for wine people, stay with Centre Street.
