Epernay, Leeds

BARCHICK SAYS

If you like your champagne then Epernay is the place for you, with 26 different champagne cocktails on offer, 13 available by the glass and over 80 by the bottle it’s safe to say they’re ready for you... go nuts. If a champagne bar makes you think high tea and good posture don’t be put off, when BarChick entered they were playing some Sia and dubstep tunes over the speakers.

The décor is simple and effective, candles and flowers in old champagne bottles as decoration, a huge champagne fridge room to perve on, and high booths and leather bar seats to get comfy in. Sit in the outside area which is an enclosed quarter of bars, so no problem if it’s raining outside, it’s always dry here (Revolutions is opposite, you’ve picked the right place!).

Champagne cocktails are £7.50 so get choosing from the long list. Sip on the Labourers Gold if you like your tequila with El Jimador, fresh lime, mint, agave syrup and Ayala Champagne it’s seriously fresh. Feeling traditional? You can never go wrong with Jerry Thomas’s 1899 Classic Champagne Cocktail. Wanting a glass of champagne but don’t know anything about it?! Don’t sweat it, hit the back of the menu and check out the flavour map… sorted!
