Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Inside Champagne Problems on Manhattan's Lower East Side @_theofficialmico Taylor Swift may be touring outside of New York City for the foreseeable future, but Swifties have yet another place to celebrate their fandom. Champagne Problems, a Swift-themed speakeasy, opened at 207 Bowery on the Lower East Side earlier this summer, offering a space for Swift’s fans to congregate beyond the Eras Tour. Accessible behind a chip wall that opens to reveal a hidden door, Champagne Problems is adorned with eclectic decor at every turn, including a Moet & Chandon vending machine offering mini 187ml bottles of the Champagne.
Guests can dive into an oversize Champagne coupe filled with ping pong sized bubbles for a photo opp, or pose with a contemporary Swiftie mural on the wall, featuring portraits of local heros Beyonce, Jay-Z and more superstars illuminated by the bar’s chandeliers. Of course, in true Taylor fashion, Champagne Problems is full of Easter eggs only the most dedicated of fans may see. Those who don’t want to wait for a server at the table or mixologist at the bar can also press an express button to order Champagne.
The bilevel lounge offers intimate and group seating, and a TV plays Swift’s music videos constantly, though on mute. A gallery wall of gaudily framed photos of famous Champagne drinkers adds to the vibes. Inspired by a Vegas supper club, Champagne Problems is local hospitality company The Bond Group�.
