    Doux-Amer and Rifle Paper Co Punch
    katie s.

    This was an amazing find. We bought books from the bookshop in Oxford Exchange and then got champagne cocktails. The seating is really comfortable and you're able to sit and read your new book while you sip your cocktail. The service was wonderful. The bar tender was lovely and very helpful.

    Stopped here before our brunch reservation for a morning cocktail. We had the OE mimosa and the South Tampa Streetcar. Both were incredible. Service was awesome and bartenders rocked. Great place to wait for your table or just chill.

    This is tucked away in the Oxford Exchange and it's bougie and elegant (and expensive)! The atmosphere is extremely classy and the servers were respectful and knowledgeable. All the drinks were $18 - I got the Rifle Paper Co. Punch and my friend got the Passion in the afternoon. Both were delicious and beautiful in presentation! We also got some shareable plates. The tuna dip and the deviled eggs. Both were okay and overpriced but you're in downtown Tampa so it just comes with the territory

    Such a cute area. Found in the lobby of the Oxford Exchange, this spot was the perfect way to start our morning. Drinks were excellent and small plates were delicious!

    Sweet, tart, and enough "punch" to get you floating. Delicious. Highly recommend to have if waiting for seating.

    This small but elegant bar is tucked inside Oxford Exchange. They offer many varieties of champagne by the glass. Perfect spot to wait for your table or ease into your weekend.

    Yes, "The Champagne Bar" is as magical as the name may suggest. It's also just about what you'd think- a cutesy little bar that serves primarily champagne and a few other cocktail drinks. The Champagne Bar is tucked inside the Oxford Exchange. It's a great stop while you're waiting on your reservation at the restaurant inside (you do need a rez for it) or just to walk around and shop in the several gift areas. They do have their own seating but it's a couple small tables that can fill up quickly. For being such a small bar they had a decent menu of drinks. Every one we tried was really quite good, and mixed well. The bar tenders were super nice and very sincere in telling us what drinks were still available and if they had run out of anything. Do expect the drink prices to be on the higher side- this is basically in downtown Tampa and is a specialty cocktail bar only serving drinks. So, yeah they jack their prices some but it's good quality at least. This mini bar is just the cutest and the sweetest! Let's pop some champagne!

    Very elegant and intimate space located within the Oxford Exchange. We decided to check it out on our way back from brunch. The passion in the afternoon cocktail was perfect ! I will definitely be back to try others. The lone mixologist was knowledgeable and friendly, providing top notch service. We didn't stay long, but thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Next time I'd like to visit the restaurant for brunch or high tea. 10/10

    I have been to The Champagne Bar many times both for a quick drink while waiting on a table at Oxford Exchange or just a place to relax and catchup with friends. That's why I love the location because it's open. You can walk right in, get your drink, leave, walk around, or stay and enjoy the ambiance - which is gorgeous by the way. The drinks are amazing. They make the classics as well as some with an interesting twist. If you like champagne cocktails as well as beautiful ambiances for some instagrammable photos, this is the place for you.

    What a fantastic, adorable little spot! I was recently in town for conference and used some free time to stop by the Oxford Exchange and the Champagne Bar! My friend and I were easily about to find free street parking and were quickly inside to explore. You order at the bar and then there is a small seating area - we were there on a early Saturday afternoon and were lucky to grab seats when another party got up. We ordered two different cocktails at the bar - one was peach flavored and had raspberry sorbet in it - and also shared the whipped feta. The app was delicious - the naan came out warm and the feta was so flavorful. We also both enjoyed our cocktails. If I were a local, I would totally be a regular at this adorable location and, if I had more time, I would have tried the champagne flight!

    Located in the Oxford Exchange, The Champagne Bar is in a corner right outside of the restaurant. They have a couple places to sit but not much standing room. You can get your drink and browse the other areas in Oxford Exchange. I waited in line looking over the menu. They offer many different cocktails with champagne. When it was my turn I approached the bar but got over looked twice. No one acknowledged me. When I was finally able to get someone's attention, I ordered the Champagne Cocktail. A nice mix of cognac and champagne. The drink was good and strong.

    The OE grand mimosa
    John B.

    During our visit to Oxford Exchange we ordered a drink from The Champagne Bar. My fiancé and I are getting married this month and we just came from the courthouse with our marriage license! A celebration was in order! Our server took our drink order and suggested a mimosa. There was a house mimosa and then there was the OE Grand Mimosa. It sounded bougie and it was $12 a drink but we splurged. This mimosa was made with Grand Marnier, fresh Florida Orange juice and Etoile Brut champagne. It was served in delicate, fancy, long-stem glasses. The garnish of a small orange floating on top. It looked amazing and tasted even better. It was smooth and tangy. It did not taste too much of champagne. It was balanced and executed with precision. We thoroughly enjoyed the drink. The champagne bar offers around 6 signature drinks. If you're not careful, you can end up with an empty bank account and a decent buzz.

    I'm in love. This bar is perfectly girly- pink crystal chandelier, beautiful, brightly saturated colors including the most lovely floral arrangement I've seen in awhile. Yes, I touched it. Special stemware, dapper barkeeps, champagne COCKTAILS! I could go on and on. As I visitor to the city, Im v impressed. It's a small corner of OE, but lovely just the same. You all should consider expanding, you'd make a killing!

We originally planned on bringing some family here for their anniversary but that plan feel through so we made it into a friends catch up dinner. Right off the back LOVED our server Nimah. She was funny, helpful, and attentive. And they are on top of refilling your water so you will never go thirsty. I'm not much of a drinker, so I don't have much to say on that matter. The ambiance was nice. A lot of eclectic paintings on the walls. And loved the outfits of the servers. Very 20's speakeasy. There is a live jazz band that started performing at 7 pm. They were good but at some points it was a bit difficult to speak and listen to those at your table unless you got really close. My meal hit the spot. We started with a charcuterie board for the table. It had a lot of great options like dried apricots, actual honeycomb pieces, and my most favorite cheese, some Brie cheese. The only thing was there was only 4 pieces of bread, one for each of us, which wasn't enough but I guess it made sense not to fill us up too much. For my main meal I had the sweet potato salad which was very tasty and the sweet potato risotto, which a little spicy kick. The only thing I missed was the Brussels sprouts and potatoes but was told that was from the previous chef. But they serve you enough so you definitely will have left overs. Not a big fan of eating in the lounge areas, those are best just for drinks and maybe desserts. But it's definitely a great place to people watch. You will definitely have a meal and a show no matter what. Hopefully can schedule another time to bring my family because I know they would love it.

I tried to be polite and patient, but the staff was rude from the very beginning and made it clear they didn't want to serve me. To make it worse, I was kicked out for absolutely no reason.

Instead of owning their behavior, they chose to make something up and remove me. I've never experienced such unprofessional, disrespectful treatment at a bar. If you're looking for a place where you feel welcome or even acknowledged, this is definitely not it.
