Golden Ratio opens in Clinton Hill at 216 1/2 Greene Avenue near Place des Fêtes and is operated by Redwood Hospitality, which also runs Oxalis, Cafe Mado, and Laurel Bakery.

Collaborations with Acid Spirits produce the on-site spirits, and ingredients include bread distillate from Laurel Bakery and citrus aromatics from Place des Fêtes.
