World's longest champagne bar?
I was in St. Pancras station in London the other day, and looking at the 90 metre long champagne bar there, billed as "Europe's longest champagne bar." Which implies there is a longer champagne bar in some other part of the world - perhaps a 100 metre long champagne bar in Nigeria?
My question - does anyone know of a longer champagne bar somewhere?

For those that care about such things, I have found no record of a longer "Champagne" bar, I found a reference to the longest bar in the world, at 684 feet (or about 208.5 meters), located at the New Bulldog in Rock Island, Illinois. This is from the website Alcohol Trivia website and quotes as its source: Yenne, B., and Debolski, T. The Ultimate Book of Beer Trivia. San Mateo, CA: Bluewood, 1994, pp. 101-102.
For those that don't care, a truly funny piece from the Guardian asking why anyone would care about such a distinction.

The Swiss Business Lounge at ZRH claims to have the longest bar in any airline lounge:

The lounge bar - at 28.6 metres probably the longest one in the world of airlines -

I know this thread is donkey's years old, but saw this xkcd comic today and it brought it back to my mind.
I've still not found a longer champagne bar anywhere.
