Perching bar - Verzenay

Who wouldn’t want to get to act like a big kid on a swing, whilst drinking delicious champagne?! My fiancé, my mum and I were all reduced to giggles whilst we took in the stunning view from The Perching Bar. It was such good fun, and also a stunning place to visit. The view is incredible and the champagne is delicious. It wasn’t the cleanest place though, as it was very dusty and it would have been better if it were an actual bar. It was more like a friend’s treehouse where they had a champagne fridge. It would have also been good if they took card as it was cash only, but we enjoyed ourselves a lot.

Nice idea, but definitely not a champagne bar. Treehouse that serves a glass of champagne on arrival. No staff around, just directed to treehouse, host delivered drink. No atmosphere, cold and not worth the effort to visit. A bar should be serviced with staff, no drinks on display, definitely not as advertised. Would not recommend

We had some trouble getting a booking this isn't easy and I needed help from a French speaking colleague to get it organised. This is why it only gets a 4 and not 5 star review score. The place is fabulous and well worth the trip from Rheims where we stayed. They only serve champagne or soft drinks though. This meant one of our party didn't get the beer he was hoping for! Really great treat and definitely somewhere special. I would recommend a visit if you can get a booking. Don;t turn up without one as you probably won't be admitted and it's a long way from anywhere else

Staff didn’t speak ANY English and kept us waiting for 15 minutes without doing anything, then when someone showed up, they said we had to reserve via phone as reservations via email would not be honoured. Ok, we’ll go away then, and screw your business Olivier.

I was really looking forward to visiting this location. Our group of 6 traveled to France for a champagne education and this lovely location seemed to be the perfect place to end our tour. We made reservations through our tour company, a la francaise for 6 people to visit on thursday sept 9/19 at 5:30pm. Imagine our disappointment when we were notified wednesday night that the Perching Bar had cancelled our reservation. Out tour company owner mathias personally intervened but the perching bar refused to honor our reservation. this looks like an interesting place to visit but now we will never know. Customers are the lifeblood of any business and how you treat them determines your level of success- a lesson they clearly missed
