The UK's National Champagne Week — a seven-day series of events celebrating the bubbly drink — kicks off on Monday, October 3.
Ahead of the occasion, we've put together a selection of the world's best Champagne bars, based on top ratings and recommendations from online city guide and app Yelp.
See the best places to enjoy a glass of bubbly below:
Le Bar du Plaza Athénée — Paris, France
At Le Bar du Plaza Athénée at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée — part of the glamorous Dorchester Collection — bargoers can enjoy a classic glass of Champagne or sip it in one of the bar's imaginative cocktails to the sounds of a DJ five nights a week.
RM Champagne Salon — Chicago, US
Found down a cobblestone alley with a lively atmosphere inside and a Parisian-style patio outside, Chicago's RM Champagne Salon is slightly less traditional for a Champagne bar, and is known as much for its bubbly as it is for its food.
Nimb Bar — Copenhagen, Denmark
Located right aross from Copenhagen's central station, the heritage ballroom at Nimb Bar offers true 1920s-stlye luxury in the city, complete with crystal chandeliers and a six-foot fireplace.
Bar Américain — London, UK
Hidden beneath the popular Brasserie Zedel lies one of London's best kept secrets – the Art Deco, swing era-inspired Bar Américain. Sip Champagne for an experience that will truly make you feel like you've been transported back to the Roaring Twenties.
Bibo — Hong Kong, China
Expect an eclectic 1930s vibe at Hong Kong's Bibo and accompanying Le Comptoir de Bibo bar, with art from the likes of Banksy and Damien Hirst covering the walls and top Champagnes served alongside fine seasonal French food.
Fizz — Las Vegas, US
Inside Las Vegas' famous Caesars Palace lies lavish celebrity favourite Fizz, decorated with art and photography from the collection of its creative director David Furnish and his partner Sir Elton John.
New York Bar — Tokyo, Japan
You may recognise it as the bar where Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson have drinks in "Lost in Translation," and for good reason — the New York-themed bar sits on the 52nd floor of the Park Hyatt Hotel in Tokyo and has stunning views of the Shinkuku district.
Balthazar — Copenhagen, Denmark
A favourite of both Copenhagen locals and tourists, Balthazar Champagne Bar — which opened in 2013 — was the first Champagne bar in Denmark.
The Liberate — Berlin, Germany
At Berlin's The Liberate bar, bargoers lounge on plush sofas amid opulent gold decor.
Texture — London, UK
At London's Texture Champagne Bar, guests can stop in for a glass of Champagne before enjoying a meal at the Michelin-starred restaurant or take full advantage of the selection of over 140 Champagnes by the bottle.
Bar le Dokhans — Paris, France
The first bar in Paris to serve Champagne only (there are over 200 varieties on offer and the sommeliers regularly visit the Champagne region to discover new and rare vintages), Bar le Dokhans is intimate and romantic. It even boasts a fireplace.
