Champagne Problems

On our lists of the best speakeasies and cocktail bars in New York.

Champagne Problems hides behind Just the Chip, a potato chip shop on the Bowery, opening into five themed rooms across three floors: a gold-lit ground-floor bar, a private champagne room, a red VIP parlor that holds up to 20, and a working podcast studio. A life-size giraffe and a giant champagne bottle anchor the décor, and DJs take over every weekend starting at 9pm. There's a dance floor built like a champagne glass, a ball pit for lounging between rounds, and a food menu that includes the bar's own take on lo mein. Walk in for a drink, or book a room for a private night.
