Wagyu from $14 on the menu we read · up to $29
This listing's current published materials advertise Wagyu, but the offering does not meet our full verification standard for provenance. It carries no authenticity badge; undisclosed details remain explicitly unverified.
Why it's listed
Upper King Street champagne and bourbon bar, open daily from 4pm to 2am with Sunday brunch. Its food menu, published both online and as a PDF, runs four Wagyu preparations: a Black Opal Wagyu beef tartare at $23, a Black Opal Wagyu sukiyaki at $14, Wagyu in the $21 nigiri flight, and an unbranded $29 Wagyu burger. Black Opal is an Australian Wagyu brand. Separately, the happy hour list prices an A5 Beef Slider at $7 made with ground Wagyu, a Japanese grade that nothing else on the menu supports.
Authenticity flags
- A $7 happy hour item here is listed as an "A5 Beef Slider" made with ground Wagyu. A5 is a Japanese carcass grade, and no Japanese beef is named anywhere on this menu. The only Wagyu brand the kitchen identifies, Black Opal, is an Australian Wagyu and Angus cross. Ask what the slider actually contains if the grade matters to you.
- The restaurant's search engine listing advertises A5 Wagyu, but no A5 item appears on the current food menu. The Wagyu dishes actually listed there are a tartare, a sukiyaki, a component of the nigiri flight, and an unbranded burger.

Common questions
- Does Bourbon N' Bubbles serve real Wagyu?
- Its own current menu advertises Wagyu, and that claim was read directly on July 22, 2026. What the menu does not do is say which Wagyu: no prefecture, grade, breed status or producer is published, so the sourcing cannot be checked from outside. That is a gap in what is written down rather than a suggestion that anything is wrong with the beef, and plenty of kitchens buy carefully without printing the details.
- What kind of Wagyu does Bourbon N' Bubbles serve?
- Its menu discloses Black Opal and A5. Each of those is taken from the venue's own current materials rather than from a review or a listing site, and the evidence behind it is quoted further down this page.
- Why is Bourbon N' Bubbles listed without a Wagyu badge?
- Because a badge here means the sourcing was checked, not that the food is good. This listing is published because the venue genuinely advertises Wagyu on its own current material, and it carries no badge because that material does not say which Wagyu. If the venue publishes the prefecture, grade, breed status or producer, the listing can move.
