Drumroll please....I am pleased to don my 100th review to the best champagne bar I've ever had the pleasure of gracing. I manage to learn something new each and every time I visit Effervescence. If you can brave the French Quarter parking, your experience is totally worth it. I also suggest taking an Uber or Lyft because well.... the champs is just that d@mn good. I've been here in several settings from intimate chats with the bestie at the bar, to loud and rambunctious stress relief nights with friends. Effervescence staff can handle any type of customers from the completely ignorant, to "i only like sweet", to the fake sommeliers...I've seen it all come through and the staff handles it with such grace and poise. The decor is quite modern and chic. Don't expect to see fleur-de-lis plastered all over the walls. Go, enjoy, sip, and make sure you have to time to soak in the experience. This isn't a "I'm going to run in for a quick drink" bar. You'll totally regret it. And btw I totally stole their bar tab presented in champagne corks idea for my wedding. I got married on NYE and we used champagne corks to hold the name cards at the tables. read more

Effervescence - Pommes frites with tapenade aioli and a Prosecco! - Champagne Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Nice, spacious place to drop in for a drink or two... especially when you've walked all day in the heat!! My husband and sister said the drinks were good. They let me order a small popsicle without the bubbles since I'm pregnant. They do take reservations, it seems like it's a popular venue for bachelorette parties, two big groups of girls were chit chatting away. We also saw some tables with reserved sign on them but we didn't have trouble finding any seating. Next time, I'll come back when the baby is out so I can finally enjoy the experience. The snacks looked yummy too! read more

Effervescence - Champagne Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

What's not to love about a champagne bar when you love champagne?! The thing I like most about Effervescence is that it is not pretentious like some champagne or wine bars can be. The owner is super nice and willing to engage with patrons. I like when owners interact with you because you always end up learning something and it's just nice to get to know some of the background stories. The champs cocktails are where it's at. It's also fun to get a flight so you can try different types of bubbly. The servers are also super cool and will gladly keep bringing you bubbles all night or all day long. The atmosphere is very open yet cozy. They have plenty of places to sit so my group has never had a problem finding an area to sip and chat. They have some bar bites if you are feeling snacky. We loved the complimentary savory popcorn we got at our last visit. It's definitely a girl place with the ratio being 10 to 1. Girls dig bubbles so that may not come as a surprise to you. I know me and my gals always enjoy a visit to Effervescence. Probably not a place my husband would enjoy as much. Price wise, its a little on the higher end. But if you've ever experienced a hangover from cheap champagne you know its worth it to spring for a decent pour. read more

classy spot for champagne cocktails, classic cocktails, small bites and most importantly great conversation among friends. There are pockets of tables and chairs to have private time. No eavesdropping here. The decor is very clean and service was on point. The server was very knowledgeable and provided great insight in aiding in our cocktail selection. read more

Stopped here with a group of friends before dinner and had a great time! We ordered a few things to snack on and everything was great! They had a special on fried green tomatoes that were delicious! read more

A tad bit overpriced Champagne bar that has a huge selection by the glass or bottle. They also have a small plate and tapas menu which is the reason why we came for the pomme frites. They were good but not great and certainly not worth the $8 price. Once nice touch that I did like is that they served the "Champagne of Beers" in their beer selection, lol. read more

Such a cute place! Great snacks and amazing drinks! Great place for date night or girls night out!

WOW!! This place rocks. The court yard is perfectly inviting, quiet and clean. Great selection of bubbles and stills. Super fast and friendly service. Ambience is like none other in the quarter. This will be a go to for me. read more

We came here because of the great Yelp reviews, and our hotel was a block away. We came in on a Wednesday night for dinner, and the place had two other patrons. Ok so Wednesday is slow. They were showing a movie in the back patio which was cool. The place was cute. Our server was NOT knowledgeable, attentive or very friendly. I think she just wanted to go home because the place was so dead. This place took "tapas" to a whole different (smaller) level! The portions were SO tiny you can seriously take two bites and be done with the plate. And each plate was around $10. So not worth it. And food wasn't even good. You really have to LOVE champagne to come here I guess. That's probably the only decent thing on the menu. Besides a flight of champagne, I also ordered a cocktail. They put champagne in my cocktail and ruined it!! We left $150 poorer and still hungry. Save your money and go to Peche for dinner! read more

Super cute champagne bar. It was gorgeous inside and had plenty of seating. We had just been roaming the quarter all day in casual clothes and we were just fine. I suggest the champagne flight! You get to try a few glasses which were all delicious. read more

This place is very bougie, but very nice. Great complimentary popcorn. You will spend a $, however the selection of wine is top notch. On Rampart but not touristy. read more

I'm of the opinion that wine is best drank at home and the word "class" is best limited to academics, but Effervescence is pure class and the perfect place to enjoy a glass...or bottle...or magnum...of champagne plucked from their tricked-out 38-page list. I heart the magnum Wednesdays, the movie nights in the courtyard, and the friendly and knowledgeable owners and staff. Geaux! read more

Effervescence - Magnum Wednesdays - Champagne Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Strongly recommend coming here to enjoy some champagne and cocktails, they take reservations, which I strongly recommend or they take walk ins as well. Indoor and outdoor seating, we originally sat inside when we walked in but quickly moved before we ordered because there was an outrageously loud table near us. The outdoor Courtyard was so freaking adorable and relaxing. The menu of champagne has something for everyone! Glasses, flights, half flights, and cocktails. I got the war of rose flight and it was incredible, I loved each of the samples and thought it was so perfect. They have small bites as well! We ordered a order of the pom frites which was mouth watering, immediately ordering a second order as soon as we started demolishing the first order. In addition to these we were served a complimentary order of popcorn tossed in some incredible spices/oils. All in all please come visit and enjoy at least one drink here, but you will be staying longer ;) read more

I went there back in December of 2017, and I loved the menu as well as the service! The guy who runs this establishment knows what he is doing! He knows how to cater to his diverse clientele, and his expertise in Champagne & Cava is unlike anything I've witnessed before. read more

This is by far the best brunch so for in NOLA. Delish bubbly, tapas wait staff, Steve so knowledgeable. Artichoke plate scrumptious. Seafood tower blew us away. So so fantastic read more

This place is so cute and perfect for a girls night! The champagne flights are fantastic and the food is super yummy

Visited this establishment for the first time tonight with my wife. Ryan took very good care of us in the courtyard. This was our first stop before dinner for their happy hour. We had a aperol sprtitz and a few apps. What a great time we had! It's a must go to. read more

Do not pass this up. A fun, beautiful place that gets you away from the craziness of bourbon. We came in for a bachelorette dinner and had reservations for Friday night. Everything was wonderful and I will be back the next time I'm in New Orleans. read more

My sister made the brilliant decision to take me to Effervescence for drinks on my birthday. It was easily one of my favorite experiences at a wine bar ever. The atmosphere is wonderful--it looks like it would be small and crowded from the outside, but inside it's airy and fresh and the tables are far enough apart that you feel comfortable without feeling like you're the only person there. I don't know if they've changed their lighting since previous reviews, but I didn't find it to be dark at all, rather the opposite. We ordered a weekly featured flight of bubbly and a cocktail (the Honey Island Daiquiri one), both were excellent. We also ordered the Kale Caesar salad with Butternut which was delicious, and I don't even like Caesar salad. The best part about our experience by far was the service, however. 3 different waitresses all waited on us and checked in with us and took really good care of us and were so so so kind with their recommendations and small talk. Some places are super stuffy and elitist but they were all very chill and helpful. We didn't finish our cocktail and they offered to split it over ice for us so we could take it to go! It was so sweet and we had a great time. Will be recommending to friends and guests visiting New Orleans! read more

So happy to have another cute, reasonably priced and fun spot for drinks. The prosecco pop was delicious read more

This place is a breath of fresh air in New Orleans! You can dress casually, drink Highlife and eat French fries, or dress up for a girls night out or fun date night, have a great sommelier entertain you with his vast knowledge on sparkling wines across the world, and snack on raw oysters or barbecued octopus. I'm sure everyone in New Orleans, whether native or tourist, can find something to love about this place. read more

Cute little spot. I could definitely see making this my meet-up spot for drinks with friends or a date. We tried a flight of Spanish bubbles. Found one that I love. Enjoyed the popcorn. I'll be back. read more

Gentlemen- please do yourself a favor and take your lady to effervescence. This was easily my wife's favorite stop in NOLA (a bit of a bubbly fanatic). The space was beautiful, open and lively. The bubbly flights were a lot of fun and gives patrons a chance to sample bubbly from all over the world. My wife enjoyed the French and Italian flights. We were also very impressed with the owners. Both took time out of their busy evening to chat with us and tell us a little more about there fine establishment. I was truly shocked to learn the place had only been open 3 months. I'm sure this will be one of the most popular drink spots in NOLA for years to come and we will be sure to stop in again next time in town. read more

Was so excited to take my champagne loving friend here! The decor is great! Love the restroom! Haha! The food we tried was great too! My only negative comment is about our bartender. We needed assistance choosing a flight and she was so put out and annoyed that we were asking for her help. I will go back but will avoid her. Definitely go try!! read more

Great new addition to the bar scene in New Orleans! Came here one evening a few weeks ago with some company as we've heard the buzz from local clients. The bar is pretty spacious and the decor gives it a pretty laid back, yet comfortable ambiance. As we were seated, our tables had mini champagne bottles filled with bubbles! How cute to play with while we sip our bubbly (champagne). I came to Effervescence with the incentive to order champagne with one of those popsicles but it slipped my mind and I ended up ordering a bottle for myself and company. I wish I remembered what it was exactly but unfortunately I don't because I ended my night on Bourbon Street so I guess you can say my memory was pretty shot. Also we ordered some food. We had the frites with aioli sauce, buttermilk chicken, and mushroom tart which was ok. I hope that they continue to work on the menu. Although I wish I had a server that was more attentive and better at making suggestions, perhaps he had a long day seeing as I came on opening weekend. I won't let that effect the outcome of my review though. They also have courtyard seating! Also as we were exiting the place, I believe it was the manager and/or owner that greeted us and thanked us for coming which actually made it a more memorable experience. I definitely plan on returning and telling my friends about Effervescence read more

I don't see how they don't have a 5 star rating. The owners are so nice! They literally come stop by our table every time we are there to say hello. Soooo nice! They really make you feel like they appreciate your business. & they have the best popcorn ever! It's addictive! read more

I attended a surprise birthday party here and wowza. If you're looking for a nice place for a girls night, take a date for a nice drink or pre/post dinner drinks for an anniversary, this is the place. The ambience is wonderful and let's be real - who doesn't love champagne?! I didn't get to try all of the small plates but everything I tried was delicious. The Rosè that was chosen was excellent as well - I can't recall the name of it though. There was lots of bubbles involved. I would go back for a special occasion for sure. read more

Fun champagne bar! My friends and I enjoyed a bottle or two of Lallier. Delicious! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The French fries with rosemary aioli and our champagne was the best! Vary wide menu of wines and bubbles at all price points. I highly recommended stopping by! read more

Wonderful place with lots of champagne choices and varying prices to fit everyone's budget. We tried the pate and pomme frittes and they were delicious, as was the popcorn served with the drinks! A bit loud and service was a bit slow, but it really didn't impact our experience. Great to meet Crystal, the owner. This is going to be a regular stop when I have visitors in town or even a stop after a long week! read more

I was planning a small shower/celebration for a bride when the venue closed at the last minute. I reached out to Effervescence in a panic and the owner, Crystal, got back to me almost immediately. She accommodated our small party at the last minute, helped me select an amazing array of food and great drink selections, and took more time than she anyone else would have for such a small group. I can't say enough good things about her. The party itself was lovely. The small was beautiful and the food was amazing. Her staff were kind, helpful, and conscientious. I will absolutely be back. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place for an elegant event. read more

Can here with my friend before the Luke Bryan concert. What a great experience! We had the champagne taster which was 6 glasses of champagne. Not full pours, but still! We then had the smoked fish dip. They lost the star because of the naked fish skins. Those tasted so fishy we still joke about how bad it was. We had the grilled octopus as well. It was done perfectly but I'm just not a fan. It's chewy where the octopus is larger and then the ending tentacles had a smoky, burnt taste. read more

Wowsie! I can't believe how many champagnes and wines they have! Their menu is like an encyclopedia! It's in a great restored area on Rampart st in the Quarter. Beautiful and super cozy decor. Knowledgeable staff. I had a French champagne flight (1/2) and it was plentiful and excellent. My husband had the melted cheese plate- he loved it! And my frozen berry dark chocolate with whipped yoghurt (I forget the name) was exquisite! read more

I live a few blocks away and have been wanting to come in here and finally did last Saturday and was so impressed. The courtyard is adorable and my friend and I were sitting out there with heaters on us when the owner came outside and brought us nice blankets to help warm us up. Every single person working was friendly and helpful. The drinks were delicious and the menu selection was great. The ambiance was chill and peaceful. I'm going to start coming back every week. read more
