A familiar name brings a new “fizz-first” concept to South Tampa next week.

Bouzy, located at 1640 W Snow Ave., starts slinging champagne, natural wine and cocktails in Hyde Park Village on Wednesday, Feb. 1.

Reservations for this highly-anticipated cocktail and champagne bar go live on Monday, Jan. 30 at 6 p.m. via Bouzy’s Tock page. Bouzy will also offer first-come-first-serve seating in its main dining room, on its bar, or in its sleek champagne cellar.

From champagne and signature cocktails to a curated selection of over 200 wines, Bouzy is the latest concept from Cru Hospitality Group the folks behind the popular wine bars of the same name.

Tampa native Erich Bach will helm Bouzy’s kitchen as its Executive Chef, creating small plates, tasting boards and entrees inspired by French, European and Asian gastronomy. Bach is the former Sous Chef of Bern’s Steakhouse and has years of  kitchen experience under his belt.

According to Axios Tampa Bay, Bouzy shares a name with a  little town in the Champagne region of France, where its residents “celebrate champagne year round.”

Cru Cellars Hospitality announced the opening of Bouzy back in early 2021, but the new cocktail bar’s buildout has taken upwards of two years to complete.

Although Bouzy is still a week or so away from opening, its calendar is already full of events, including an upcoming dessert and wine pairing class,  a “Wine Wednesday” tasting and an exclusive rooftop party.

Cru Hospitality Group has another new concept on the way as well, with Wine On Water debuting at the ever-growing Water Street Tampa development sometime soon.

After next week’s grand opening, Bouzy will be open from 11 a.m.-midnight Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.-1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. For the latest information on South Tampa’s newest cocktail and champagne lounge, follow its Facebook page or Instagram @bouzytampa.
