A chic and feminine champagne bar in Golden Belt is the latest addition to the family of businesses that also own Triangle Catering and The Cotton Room. Coupe & Stein is sophisticated and charming—a restored historic space that offers a pleasing atmosphere for a girls’ night out or a place to plan a special event/celebration. The menu, naturally, focuses on fancy bubbles, but also has an impressive selection of mocktails for those taking part in dry January. There’s food, too; including fun tinned fish plates, charcuterie boards, shrimp cocktail, and desserts like red velvet tiramisu.
This is a review for Miracle, the Christmas pop up at Coupe and Stein. While the decorations were fun and plentiful, the atmosphere was just kind of off. A little too bright, empty, and quiet (the music cut off unexpectedly while we were there). The drinks were solid but the food was a let down. I had the shrimp cocktail and it was served in a coupe with chips and salsa. My husband got the Carolina Bullets which he said were ok. The service was great- our server was funny and attentive. Overall maybe it was an off night, but not what we were expecting.

Had a sneak peek at their holiday pop up bar experience called 'Miracle'. The drinks are very creative, fabulously tasty and don't skimp on the alcohol. Very fun decorations and holiday music. Had the opportunity to meet the owner who is incredibly nice. Check it out! Highly recommended!!

This place is a truly a hidden gem in Durham. My husband and I came for the first time after our anniversary dinner for a night cap. The atmosphere is both modern and cozy, and somehow perfectly emphasizes that this place is a champagne bar. The food and drinks were amazing, and reasonably priced considering the quality and the area. The staff are very friendly, attentive, and work hard to make your visit enjoyable. Will certainly be back and encourage others to visit often.

Great twists on drinks and they are big and loud. If you took the fun of a cruise ship and a San Francisco street fair and blended it all in a drink that’s what you’re getting. Excellent desserts as well. Great after dinner drink place. They even had live music playing. I hope the popularity picks up because the vibe could benefit from the buzzy background chatter of a dozen good conversations going on.

This place is uniquely decorated and has a relaxing atmosphere to it. You can either dress down or dress up. This bar has the décor to either bring an intimate night for 2 or a casual get-together for 6. The drink menu is large but unique, so there is something for every taste bud. The food menu is short, as this place is very much a small plate bar. If you're looking for restaurant size portions, this isn't the place for that, but the food is actually tasty and tends to pair well with the drinks. Coupe and Stein is a bar for any occasion, and it's definitely worth coming back to.

Such a cute hangout! I went alone on Saturday and was immediately greeted by Riley at the bar. I had the shrimp cocktail which was so fresh and the mango salsa was everything! I had two cocktails the 1901 (my fav) and the Basil-ly (something I forget lol) which were good too. There was a sip & paint event wrapping when I showed up but I will definitely try that out next time they have it. I will be back with my girls. Loved the vibe. Make sure to see Riley!!!!
