While a bit off the beaten Champagne trail, this bar was worth the stop. I really enjoyed the breathtaking views and the staff was attentive. It's worth mentioning that the bathroom situation is a bit "uncomfortable", but it didn't take away from my experience and...should be expected in such a remote location.More

It's true that this place is 'off the beaten path'; you will not find any signs pointing you in the proper direction. Additionally, there is a secure parking lot next to the lighthouse, but otherwise there is no real parking. If you park at the...lighthouse, you will need to walk at least 20 minutes, some uphill, to arrive at the bar. The bar manager was 15 mins late, and rude when we went to check in with our reservation because we had a service animal with a valid doctor's note. He explained that it was clear on the website that no animals are allowed. We obliged because we had already paid for our reservation, and he was cutting the conversation off, saying, "I don't have the time to discuss anything further because I'm already late." Not my problem you are late to work. Also, I would like to point out that the man in charge of 'Perching Experience' had his dog running around. We were holding my small service animal, not knowing whose unleashed and non-collared dog it was, when the man rudely said, "What? Your dog can't walk?" While my partner went to take care of our dog I saw a duo who had been waiting since opening be turned away because the owner stated he could have max 10 people in the bar. In fact, we were only 7 people at the bar so there was space for them. Furthermore, the inside of the bar and the top view point of the bar were closed 'due to COVID', leaving only the outside balcony accessible. Having 1/3 of the bar closed, restrooms closed, one glass of champagne, and receiving no glass or offer of water, the price of 21 euro is absurd. With all these COVID measures, I found it funny that there was no hand sanitizer stations, and that the owner did not wear a mask. He stated he didn't need to wear one because we are outside, but at the same time he says no service animals and there is a dress code? After pouring everyone's glass, he left the bar and didn't return to check on anyone. We decided to stop wasting time at this bar, and left. The couple next to us had been sitting with empty glasses for 20 mins. We saw the owner when leaving and let him know that there were customers who might want another drink. He said, "yeah, yeah, I know. I was going to go." From one service industry folk to another, if you don't like customers, get a different job.More

We had some trouble getting a booking - this isn't easy and I needed help from a French speaking colleague to get it organised. This is why it only gets a 4 and not 5 star review score. The place is fabulous and well worth...the trip from Rheims where we stayed. They only serve champagne or soft drinks though. This meant one of our party didn't get the beer he was hoping for! Really great treat and definitely somewhere special. I would recommend a visit if you can get a booking. Don;t turn up without one as you probably won't be admitted and it's a long way from anywhere elseMore
