    11/10 Maddie was just awesome! We ended up sitting by the bar as we were twoFriends catching up together but we joked that this venue was actually better on a date night so maybe we should try to fall in love. The decor is lovely and the service is excellent. The drinks are also premium bonus tip is if you come on a Tuesday they have happy hour from four till 8 PM its a win all around.

    A beautiful, cozy speakeasy with live music. A champagne bar that has a variety of options to choose from. The prices are reasonable. I was surprised to see that the a bowl full of olives and chips costed $10 in a bar in the middle of Manhattan! They had live band playing jazz music and the whole atmosphere was quite cozy. A nice place for a date night and otherwise.

    I had an amazing experience at the Flute Champagne Bar. We did a champagne tasting, and the bartender was outstanding—knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. They made the tasting informative and fun, guiding us through each champagne with interesting details. The bar’s elegant ambiance and superb selection added to the experience. Highly recommend!

    Heard about The Flute while on a Prohibition tour with @Telltale Tours it wasnt on the itinerary for the night. We decided to go another night on our own. So glad we did. On the sight of an original Speakeasy from the 20s the current owners did a great job redecorating keeping the feel of a Speakeasy. It is now a champagne bar but they also have their takes on several cocktails. My favorite was the pomegranate margarita. If you go, ask George the bartender to give you some of the history of the place. Photo of the lit square on the floor is where the original bar had a hidey hole to stash the booze and money before a raid.

    Came here with my GF and the waiters were very attentive. Food was great and atmosphere was phenomenal for a date night

  • Review 6 (2023-09-22 - Rating: 5)

    Loved it! We went there for a Mixology class and it was great! George is very knowledgeable. The class was filled with lots of laughter and learning!Cant wait to try the orange peel trick😉

  • Review 7 (2024-09-19 - Rating: 5)

    So this quaint, old-time speak easy is a hidden gem to experience. They specialize in champagne and most cocktails are made with it. Of course you can ask for your usual mojitos or old fashioned drinks, just to name a few but they also have their own branded champagne which is a creeper and has a very mild, sweet ginger taste and lots of character to it. They do have ginger foods and I have included some pictures to top this off.

  • Review 8 (2024-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    This bar has some historic components from the prohibition, ghosts included. We came in on a Sunday night and almost had it to ourselves, but theres Jazz on Wednesday and DKs on Saturday. There are champagne flights and some creative cocktails too.

  • Review 9 (2018-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been wanting to visit this place FOREVER and my husband surprised me with a date night. Theres such a beautiful intimate setting here. The atmosphere is amazing and the champagne is fantastic they have many brands and flavors. Its the perfect place for a date night!

  • Review 10 (2024-05-11 - Rating: 5)

    This place is very, very , very small. Great for wanting to get away from a large crowd and connect with a small crowd. The place has small private rooms you can enjoy drinks and get cozy in. The waitress may forget youre in the room ha! but in all, its a great private place. Everything about this place was seductive but with a cheers flare.

  • Review 11 (2021-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Great hidden gem! Not truly hidden but does have an old speakeasy feel! Great decor, full bar and large selection of champagne (duh😉)! Staff goes above and beyond!

    Awesome staff. On point service, perfect attention to detail in one of the coolest spots in the city by far!!

  • Review 13 (2024-02-15 - Rating: 5)

    Great little quaint and cozy bar lounge! Great drink selections and our server was kind, helpful and checked on us frequently to ensure we had our drinks filled. I love the cozy vibe and it was perfect for a night out with girlfriends!

  • Review 14 (2023-12-19 - Rating: 5)

    I went for a mixology class and it was so much fun. George and Eric are the best! We made three different drinks, got a bunch of photos and videos, and had the time of our lives. I would definitely recommend doing this with a group of friends.

  • Review 15 (2023-12-11 - Rating: 5)

    I wish I could give the service here ten stars instead of just five. Maddy was so absolutely amazing. Words cannot express how special she made us feel, giving us an in depth look at the history of the bar, walking us through the menu, and just being overall fun & kind. Come here. Order the pomegranate margarita. And ask for Maddy. Thank me later!

  • Review 16 (2024-10-30 - Rating: 5)

    I heard about Flûte from a singles mixer I didn’t make the age cut for.This is a date night spot. I went with another single girlfriend because we like going to grown up places and giggle about it.We each got some French champagne that we liked. It’s dark out there. I accidentally kicked my table and pilled the champagne. My server wiped it and brought me another glass soon. She was understanding.They have half of buy one get one free Tuesdays and Jazz on Wednesday nights.Flûte has ambience and privacy and a good place to hold a glass and have a conversation. I recommend giving it a shot ;)

  • Review 17 (2024-06-09 - Rating: 5)

    The final stop on our speak easy tour a d what a great way to finish. Great cocktails and one of the last real speakeasy in NYC. Great singer that night and not overly busy where you cant move... Would definitely recommend

    Lots of sofas and niches to chill out in as well as a classic bar.Had the quesadilla and the crudites, everything seemed fresh and made to order.Able to enjoy conversation without screaming to be heard.

  • Review 23 (2024-04-02 - Rating: 5)

    Maddie and Charles (I may of gotten that wrong) were absolutely lovely. The atmosphere is great, the service was excellent & its happy hour on a Tuesday.

  • Review 24 (2017-12-01 - Rating: 5)

    I recently planned a end of year celebration for my job at this venue. The event was a great success and I owe a lot of that to Greg who helped me plan it from start to finish. Everything was great!!! We got the premium open bar package and all guest were very satisfied. The food was amazing and the service was amazing. The bartenders were very friendly and had great memory because they began to make a lot of my guest drinks before they even asked for another one. The music selections were also great! Everything was very professional from this venue and I look forward to holding more events here in the future. If you are looking for a really cool place to hold events, I highly recommend this venue.

  • Review 25 (2024-01-23 - Rating: 5)

    The drinks were great, the atmosphere perfect. I will definitely come back here with my wife to enjoy the drinks in a great and cozy atmosphere.

  • Review 26 (2022-09-23 - Rating: 5)

    Love! This! Speakeasy! Jazz night is our favorite but every day is a good day at the Flûte and there always seems to be something going on :)The preservation and history and the romance of the space is never lost on us.Top hang out for date night and top hang out for pre or post theatre.Also… best glass of rose in the city!

  • Review 27 (2024-03-06 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place it’s just very peaceful and romantic and cozy and I love the vibe because I love the mafia style of having a CD. This one was upgraded and it’s just relaxing five star.

  • Review 28 (2022-04-10 - Rating: 5)

    Dimly lit, sexy but classy vibe. Most tables have loveseats that form nice nooks for more privacy. Perfect spot for a date or catching up with a friend or two. I asked them to make the pomegranate margarita cocktail spicy and it was absolutely perfect. 😋

  • Review 29 (2020-02-16 - Rating: 5)

    Very cool and intimate bar! Excellent drinks and service. Max and George were our bartenders and really top notch gentlemen. Took the mixology class with the open bar and appetizer package and I highly recommend it for a great date idea! Can’t wait to go back!

  • Review 30 (2023-11-09 - Rating: 4)

    Overall it was a good experience. I went on a Wednesday for the jazz show. The drinks were ok and we didnt have any food.

  • Review 31 (2020-03-11 - Rating: 5)

    It has such a classic feel of the jazzy Era of our times with well dressed individuals and real live singers and musicians who add to the vibe. It makes for a marvelous dating area as well. It has all you can ask for with fine seating, dim lighting and an attentive staff. Loved it greatly.

  • Review 32 (2022-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    There is nowhere else in NYC like this place! So much history, gorgeous red velvet everywhere, mood lighting, great service, AND live music! A true hidden gem in the heart of NYC. My friends are all repeat customers too (which says a lot considering how many choices there are). Unique, special, cozy, private, and one-of-a-kind in every way.

  • Review 33 (2018-11-05 - Rating: 5)

    This place is perfect for a date! Intimate little nooks with cushioned couches and tables and candles. Went on a sunday night and had a decent flow of people but not crowded at all. Waiter, Max, was stellar. He showed up just when we needed him but never interrupted our conversation or checked in too much. I had reserved the table prior and specified that I wanted a romantic spot, and Max, who reserved the table, indeed picked one of the most cozy nooks for us. A lovely night to remember, and I think Flute Midtown will be a favourite from now on.

  • Review 34 (2021-02-26 - Rating: 5)

    Great experience at Flute Champagne Bar. A location with rich history, my girlfriend and I were educated and entertained with all the knowledge and stories of our server. Service was excellent and the drinks were even better! I will recommend Flute to anyone who is ready to have a great night

  • Review 35 (2018-12-05 - Rating: 4)

    We had gotten a gift certificate with intention of attending the champagne school, but could not , so before it expired, we got to see the tree and walked to Flute. It is a very cute, basement venue that was a speakeasy in the 20s. Had great cocktails and champagnes to try and a nice bar menu to sample. The staff were super, and a group of francophiles were enjoying their time practicing.

    Hidden gem. Great prices. Attentive Friendly Staff.Vibrant. Go during Jazz

  • Review 37 (2017-03-24 - Rating: 5)

    Shek and Toni provided me some of the most amazing services Ive ever received at a bar in any part of the US. Not only did I feel like I was taken care of, I felt like they went above and beyond for the patrons visiting as well. They are really customer service oriented. Greg is a terrific manager and should be very proud of the quality of service provided. I look forward to visiting again soon.

  • Review 38 (2018-11-21 - Rating: 5)

    Cool, tucked away spot in Midtown. It was super quiet when we were there, but I liked not having to talk loudly. Lots of little nooks and areas that feel cozy. Worthwhile spot! And apparently they have live jazz some nights.

  • Review 43 (2014-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Flute is a cute and comfortable bar, perfect for a ladies night or a pit stop before your dinner reservation. The cocktails are on point, I was not disappointed at all. The last Saturday of each month guests dress up in 1920s attire and enjoy live jazz. Fun!

  • Review 44 (2016-02-23 - Rating: 5)

    My husband and myself have been to Flûte since they first open and continue to this day as it is so rare to find a jewel place like this in NYC that last for so long!!! 19 years I think so bravo Flûte!!Still love the atmosphere and hidden little booth.Love to be able to drink from such a huge collection of Champagne and from a full bar as well.They always have special delicious cocktails reinventing themselves all the time.Loved and still love Flûte!!!

    Youre in New York and you havent been to Flute Champagne Bar? What are you waiting for? Friendly reception, discreet and efficient service, dim ambiance, and of course 👌🏻 champagne flutes and cocktails: it’s a solid ten if you love liquids.

  • Review 46 (2020-02-12 - Rating: 5)

    Very understanding. I had a dramatic fight w my then boyfriend and they were good humored about it and he and the bartender were taking bets on when Id call and show up again lol. It a real romantic spot and a nice place to cozy up and canoodle w that special someone while your painting the town red! Thanks to the Flute staff for your understanding and making a lighthearted night out of my liz taylor moment 😉

  • Review 47 (2014-11-25 - Rating: 4)

    If you are into champagne and small intimate places, this is where to go. They have flavored Mojitos made with champagne that are really good (my favorite is the mango). They also have flights where you can try all flavors but they are only a taste of each. I like the place more for its intimate seating area and 1920’s vibe. If you’re there on a date, you can sit on one the curtained areas in the wall where you can cuddle, kiss and drink. I would advise to eat before you get there being that they only have sliders which are small, spring rolls, and dumplings.

    Great place for a first date! Good service and location. Great selection of champagne 🍾 No parking. I’ll be back.

  • Review 49 (2013-01-14 - Rating: 5)

    This champagne bar is cozy with lots of cushions and couches – a great date ambiance. Happy hour is quiet, making it a great spot to get a little more intimate with your match (but probably too quiet for a first meet up). If youre feeling frisky, ask for a private table behind the drape -- makeout sesh perfection!

  • Review 50 (2022-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    Sexy atmosphere, amazing selection of champagnes by the glass, champagne cocktails and delicious appetizers. Love the vibe would definitely recommend for anyone visiting NYC!

    Cute Champagne bar in Midtown. Our service was slow to get started, but our server absolutely made up for it with his great personality.Dont come hungry, the food menu is extremely limited.Overall, Flute is definitely worth a visit, especially if youre looking for a venue with a sultry ambiance.

  • Review 52 (2018-03-22 - Rating: 5)

    A small, dark, intimate, historic speakeasy bar. They specialize in champagne, but have all sorts of fantastic drinks. However, every drink incorporates some champagne to top it off and give it something special.

    I love champagne and I love Flute! While its not cheap enough to warrant an after-work happy hour, its definitely one of my favorite places for special occasions that I can justify buying a bottle of champers. Quite a selection.

    This bar is si beautiful and with a really good vibe and the location is great. I went to the bar to see this place and the staff is cordial and friendly. My only issue (that’s why I’m taking one star away) was paying over $16 for a drink (Gabriel) that in the menu says “Hendricks gin” and they give you house gin is outrageous.

    History of the 1920s meets modern ambiance and spectacular service. This midtown speakeasy serves up delicious cocktails and plenty of stories to fill each moment while enjoying them. Madeline and Charlie served up quite the experience from start to finish. A must have is the signature ginger infused champagne from the prohibition era, a specialty of the grande dame Texas « Intimie » ! Sharp sophisticated elegance, indeed.

    Great place for a bottle of champagne and an intimate conversation with a loved one. Prices are what you would expect in NYC. Almost missed the place because you almost have to be on the same side of the street to see the sign. Venue is below street level. Would go again.

  • Review 77 (2023-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    This is a cute little hidden gem with its prohibition era vibe. Everything feels dark and secretive here since you can sit in these booths surrounded by heavy curtains. It’s a great place to come if you want talk and catch up. I heard it gets livelier after 10/11. I’m not sure about the crowd but I think if you bring your own crew you’ll have a great time.

    Exceptional and elegant!In your travels of Manhattan, you may stroll past or not even be aware of Flute Champagne Bar, a sophisticated, if dated, lounge tucked down a steep flight of narrow stairs that will take you back to the 1920s, 1930s, with curtained booths, tables, and a bar, featuring a selection of champagnes, by the glass or bottle, and an accompanying array of food items to enjoy them with.Dimly lit, with friendly, welcoming staff, Flute features VERY late hours (open until 4am on weekends!!!) and extremely reasonable prices for what they offer.Reservations are not required, although, mine was graciously accepted to ensure a specific seating.Visit, raise a glass of bubbly, and toast your own good fortune.

    Great historic place and great drinks. Highly recommend ending nite here!

  • Review 104 (2023-03-26 - Rating: 4)

    Cozy, old-school atmosphere. Drinks are good but on the pricey side. Several nooks in the lounge area comfortably accommodate small groups.

    The bartender was so sweet. They had a huge party taking up most of the space, and they cleared a way to the bar for me. The atmosphere is lovely. It was a bit loud from the party gathering, but I will definitely come back.

    Amazing service. Drinks were pretty good too

  • Review 107 (2022-07-14 - Rating: 4)

    Cool vibe and its in the basement sort of like a speakeasy. Interesting seating like little couches and little private areas. Romantic. My only criticism was that the atmosphere would be better served by playing jazz or a very easy listening rather then the harder rock that was too loudly playing. But thats my opinion.

    Live jazz on Wednesdays. Decent food, good service.

  • Review 109 (2023-01-01 - Rating: 5)

    We had a very Happy New Year celebration at Flûte to close out 2022! Great space that offers a bit of privacy so you feel like it is your own or you can opt to get up and dance. Either way you cant go wrong with a champagne celebration.

  • Review 110 (2022-04-07 - Rating: 5)

    Flute bar is a lovely, intimate place where you can sit in a private niche with your date or small gathering of friends and really relax. Located in midtown west and convenient to subways. The ambiance is dreamlike and charmingly retro. The drinks and food very good and best of all, the staff is friendly and welcoming. Wednesday is Jazz Night, where a small group is offered for your pleasure, as well 7:00-10:00. Highly recommend.Marty Elkins

    Very down to earth speakeasy vibe. A nice hide-out from the touristy places around.

  • Review 112 (2023-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    Nice vibe...worth the trip...but just drinks

  • Review 113 (2022-07-20 - Rating: 5)

    I have walked by this place a thousand times and never gone in, and never heard anyone talk about it. What a treasure. An intimate, romantic subterranean speakeasy style cocktail bar with a strong focus on Champagne and sparkling wine. Be sure and give your eyes a chance to adjust because it is quite dark in there, and be aware that the tables can be reserved ahead of time to avoid any drama. I particularly favor Table #18, a soft velvet lined nook with heavy drapes to close off the rest of the bar and have privacy for intimate conversations. The place has a long history running back to Prohibition, and if it isnt too busy the staff will happily tell you the stories.

    Nice spot, 1st time going to a champagne bar/lounge. order did not come correct 1st time but everything worked out...would visit again.

    Nice low-key lounge but its a bit pricey.

  • Review 119 (2019-10-04 - Rating: 5)

    Flute is a little hard to find because it is a floor down from the street. Just take a short flight of stairs from the sidewalk, and you’ll be taken away from the bustle of Midtown Manhattan into an intimate drinking den. It is very romantic (really good date sport!) and their champagne/ wine selection is pretty good. Ah, they also have beer and cute cocktailsTuesday is Champagne Happy Hour day – perfect girls night out!! Definitely my favorite wine spot in midtown

  • Review 124 (2019-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    Great little evening nightcap hideaway. Love the atmosphere and the cheese plate. The bar menu was obviously catering to its champagne niche, so a bit thin for those that arent as into the bubbly, but we both found very tasty drinks. Love it!

  • Review 125 (2018-05-08 - Rating: 5)

    Really cozy atmosphere to celebrate adults party as birthday party. Its the kind of place where you can talk with your guests under the light music in the background with a glass of wine or champagne. The management and the barmen are really helpful and you can bring kosher catering too. Second time I celebrated a party at Flûte bar!

  • Review 126 (2013-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    Oh I could live in this champagne bar, between the bubbles and truffle fries, I fell madly in love with this place. Plus it has the feeling of being oh so French!Flute is always a good time! There are so many champagnes to choose from, there is something for everyone. They always have specials during happy hour, so make sure that you ask about their two for one specials. There are little plates to nosh on, you cant go wrong with those truffle fries. Ever.

  • Review 128 (2017-08-26 - Rating: 5)

    Went to Flute last night for boyfriends 43rd birthday. The place is super romantic and provides a perfect intimate setting. Seats and booths are burgundy velvet. Music was a variety of neosoul and light pop played at conversation level. Bartender was extremely knowledgeable about the wines and champagnes and made great suggestions. Since we were celebrating a birthday, at midnight they played a birthday song and brought out champagne and strawberries for my BF which totally made his night. I will definitely be back to spend more intimate evenings.

    It was an elegant experience. The service was impeccable. Wish there were few more food options.

  • Review 130 (2017-03-23 - Rating: 4)

    Good cocktails! Very cozy and quiet!

  • Review 131 (2018-09-28 - Rating: 4)

    Unless youve got incredibly deep pockets, this place certainly isnt somewhere that you would spend all night... On that basis please let this put you off. Cocktails here are very good and the building has some really interesting prohibition history that isnt so hard to imagine in the interior. It does come with a health warning: let your eyes adjust! Its initially very dark inside.

    Great little intimate/romantic spot... service was super slow when I went despite being one of maybe 3 couples in the whole spot that night. But I enjoyed it.. great jazz.
