Great spot to chill after dinner and before the late night crowds. And if champagne is not your thing, try a Gabriel cocktail - it's essentially a gin gimlet with a cucumber and champagne kick.
The unlimited Champagne happy hour special on weekdays from 5-7 is an awesome deal! The food isn't that great but the drinks make up for it and so does the atmosphere.
If you love a good champagne bar, you will love Flute! This is my favorite location ( versus the midtown one). All types and brands of champagne, it's so many bubbles so little time. Sexy and fun!
If you're trying to drink sparking wine in a dark room with nice seating then this is the spot. Keep an eye on their happy hour deals though and special events.
I recommend going to No Idea bar, which is right next door. Load up on some reasonably priced beers and/or cocktails then, possibly, go stand next to some pretentious a-hole in Flute, if you must.
My go to champagne spot in the city. Get the bellini or kir royale flight. Service is average though. Sexy, sophisticated atmosphere with great appetizers/small plates.
On tuesdays from 5-8pm they have a 2 for 1 happy hour on everything: cocktails, wines, champagnes, bottles and food. Just be sure to sit near the bar or you'll get ignored.
I was there on a Wednesday for live jazz and it was simply charming. We sat by the fireplace, sipping on Champagne, and listening to jazz. Perfect intimate nook in NYC, A+ for ambiance.
Putting drops of champagne does not entitle you to sell a mediocre cocktail at 15 dollars. Overpriced and I could not feel champagne at all in my drink (had Gabriel). But the server was nice.
