Flûte Champagne Bar is an intimate Champagne lounge in Midtown Manhattan, located at 205 West 54th Street. Opened in 1997, Flûte occupies the former space of a Prohibition-era speakeasy and has kept much of that atmosphere with dim lighting, intimate booths and a cozy underground-lounge feel. It is a popular choice for date nights, celebrations and late-night drinks near Broadway and Carnegie Hall.
What Champagne can you find at Flûte?
Champagne is the focus here, with around 100 Champagnes and sparkling wines on the broader Flûte list. Guests can enjoy Champagne by the glass or bottle, as well as Champagne tastings and sparkling cocktails. Flûte also runs its own Champagne School, with classes covering different Champagne and sparkling wine styles.
What can you eat with Champagne?
The food menu is designed around smaller dishes that work well with Champagne, including cheese and fruit, smoked salmon, charcuterie and other light bites. The bar also offers Champagne cocktails such as Bellinis, Kir Royales and other sparkling creations.
What makes Flûte special?
The atmosphere is a major part of the experience. The former speakeasy setting, intimate booths and late-night hours make Flûte feel very different from a traditional Champagne bar. Live jazz is also part of the program, with Wednesday evenings featuring live music. Flûte is open seven days a week until 4 a.m., making it one of the more unusual places in Midtown to enjoy Champagne late into the night.
For Champagne lovers visiting New York City, Flûte offers a combination of Champagne discovery, cocktails, small plates, live music and classic New York nightlife in one intimate setting.
