 Pops for Champagne Restaurant Review: There’s a definite buzz going on at Pops for Champagne, and not only because of all the sparkling wine being served (150 or so different varieties by the bottle and seven by the glass). Don’t know your cava from a Prosecco? No worries, since the well-trained staff does. Located in the historic Tree Studios building --- Pops moved from its low-key Sheffield location after a 24-year run --- this hot-spot combines a Champagne lounge with a downstairs lounge and retail wine shop specializing in --- you guessed it --- bubbles. Here, food plays a prominent role. In addition to seasonally changing cold and hot bites like king crab legs with wasabi cocktail sauce or grilled pork tenderloin, there is a selection of Champagne-friendly cheeses, charcuterie and desserts. Of course, there’s caviar as well. Slow-poached nectarines in vanilla with tres leches cake, nectarine sherbet and mint and another glass of bubbly is a great way to finish.
