Raise a glass: Coupes in the Shops of Highland Park was picked as one of the best Champagne bars in the United States.
The honor for this Dallas-area shop comes from the Bureau du Champagne USA, a trade association with a mission to “defend the interests of the Champagne appellation worldwide through education and advocacy.” It’s the fourth year the Bureau has named a top 10.
Coupes made the list in 2024, too.
No other bars in Dallas-Fort Worth were named. Two Texas establishments made the list: Coupes in Highland Park and 13 Celsius in Houston.
