NYC's Premier Champagne Lounge

About the Space

Where the elegance of Paris meets the pulse of Manhattan. Since opening its doors in 1997 in Midtown Manhattan, this refined champagne lounge has redefined the champagne bar experience in New York City. Located in a historic space once home to the famed Prohibition-era speakeasy Club Intime, it carries forward a legacy of intrigue, celebration, and style. The concept was born from a desire to take champagne out of the velvet-roped VIP rooms and into a more intimate, welcoming, and refined setting. Here, the spirit of l’art de vivre—the French art of living well—flows effortlessly into the vibrant rhythm of New York nightlife. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, enjoying an after-work toast, or simply in the mood for a spontaneous evening out, this hidden gem offers a sophisticated alternative to the typical bar scene. Step inside and you’ll find a cozy, candlelit lounge with plush banquettes, soft music, and an atmosphere designed to encourage conversation and connection. The clientele is as diverse and dynamic as the city itself—from native New Yorkers to international visitors, from first dates to anniversaries, from champagne connoisseurs to curious first-timers. While champagne is the soul of the space, there's much more than bubbles on offer. The carefully curated list features a wide selection of champagnes and sparkling wines by the glass and bottle, from well-known maisons to hidden gems. Skilled bartenders also craft sparkling cocktails that blend creativity with classic technique, perfect for those seeking something unique. To complement the drinks, there’s a menu of elegant small plates and bites meant for sharing—ideal for pairing, snacking, and savoring. Whether it’s an after-dinner drink, a private celebration, or a pre-theater rendezvous, this lounge is designed to be your go-to destination for refined, yet approachable nightlife. This venue doesn’t just serve drinks—it serves moments. It creates settings for laughter, storytelling, romance, and celebration. With private event spaces available for intimate gatherings, corporate mixers, or special occasions, it’s proud to host experiences that feel as effortless as they are memorable. Come raise a glass, and let the bubbles take you somewhere unforgettable.
