About the restaurant

UNTITLED Champagne Lounge is the embodiment of sophistication, charm and style. A unique environment that is both amicable and unpredictable, providing excellent service with an unbiased spirit. With a vast selection of champagne and impressive array of sparkling wines, our team is equipped to match your taste and budget with the perfect bottle.
For those who prefer their drink on the rocks or two fingers high, UNTITLED has something special just for you: Artisanal Champagne-based cocktails. Using progressive techniques and carefully curated spirits, we’ve created a new beast that will rival even the tastiest old-fashioned.
While drinks are our focus, there’s something to be said for properly paired accompaniments. Our food menu accentuates the bubbly experience with bites as elegant as the champagnes, and perfectly matched. The Champagne world is your oyster. (And you can order those too.)
Welcome to our swanky hideaway. Lose yourself in our world of refinement

We really enjoyed our time at Pigeonhole Downtown. The staff were all so helpful and seemed happy to be there tbh. The food was all done nicely, while it’s not reinventing the eating experience, everything was very tasty. We were there for happy hour, which was an absolute deal! Will be back for sure and to try the mains.
