Get ready to be popping the bubbly when Oxford Exchange's boutique area debuts a champagne bar on Thursday, October 3.
The antique French bar is weeks away from pouring champagne, sparkling rosé, champagne cocktails and beer. As far as decor goes, expect patterns on patterns that are all Instagrammable and worthy of a day date destination.
The seats are stationed along the windows, out of the way of shoppers and in the perfect position for people watching.
The Oxford Exchange team understands the nuances of this concept within the restaurant and is working out the details for marketing to give guests the best experience while boozing.
"Since we aren’t open for dinner and only do private parties at night it will be a different concept 'bar' that will take a bit of education and marketing for everyone to get used to," Director of Public Relations and Retail Jessica Anderson told CL.
Hours for the bar of bubbles will be 9 a.m.-5 p.m. seven days a week; the space is available to rent for private parties in the evenings.
Just watch out because your bank account might take a hit from those buzzy buys in the boutique following a glass of champagne (or two).
