The best cocktail bars Paris

Here is a devilishly cosy space, where at first you'd be tempted to speak in a low voice, so subdued is everything, and then finally you let yourself be taken in by the chic pub atmosphere, and order one of the incredible cocktails on offer, many of which pay tribute to famous figures from across the Channel. The service here is top-of-the-range - which doesn't mean it's not convivial. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 5 p.m., the restaurant can also be privatized for private events.

The particularity of the Riviera is not as long as it is a cocktail bar, but above all that it is a éphémère bar. Yes, yes, you understood, where previously sat "Le 114" now stands a bar-restaurant-club mounted by a band of friends. Located in the Oberkampf district, this friendly atmosphere offers you the opportunity to listen to rock and électro music with a Riviera, Made In Provence or Express Martini. The notice of destruction is displayed on the facade by March 31, 2017. Why not?

Night owls make no mistake when they choose this bar as their new HQ. The beauty of the room, the smiles of the team, the good taste of the food, and the delicious cocktails are all reasons for this choice. The establishment is a gentle invitation to travel, its decor and baos evoking Asia without turning into a bamboo jungle. But the main reason people come here is to discover or rediscover the house cocktails. The star of the bar is the Gin, of which Tiger has 130 varieties.

La Candelaria is first and foremost a taqueria, or tapas bar. But if you push open the door at the back of the room, you'll find yourself in its hidden bar, a veritable paradise for tequila and other spirits! In this cave-like place (the stones on the wall are scraped away, so that explains it), you open the menu and carefully read the descriptions of the cocktails on offer, accompanied by a mysterious drawing and a quotation. Feeling daring? Adventurous? The choice is vast and should suit you.

You know singer Zaza Fournier, or "Zaza in the subway" (or almost), now you have to count in Paris on Le Zaza Bar! Sweet Andalusian smells come from this establishment reminiscent of New York bars. In the program, of course, zazapunch which is a classic: rum, exotic fruit juice (fruits of passion, mango, guava) and spices (vanilla and/or ginger). This is a real delight! Cocktails are also successes, not counting on plates made up of cod and black icing accras! Thank you Lady Zaza!

If you are looking for a secret passage that will lead you to a safe place, safe from prying eyes? You found it: appointment at the Beef Club Ballroom! A small black door, a dark path, and then ... you fall into a cosy, chic and very studied place. Latest of the constellation of the Experimental Cocktail Club, the establishment offers stunning cocktails for less like the Salers Smach (Salers gentian, absinthe, champagne, fresh mint and squeezed lemons). A unique experience and a nice place with great charms we highly recommend...

One of the incontournables of the neighborhood. The Hardware is for several years now a cozy place, dressed with wood and lit just right, and obviously invaded with beautiful decoration objects: the chic Bohemian spirit, in a way! It is a bar open all day, but it is also a restaurant with continuous service until late. It's cool, classic and very original, and it's cool and good enough. Salads and a dish of the day complete a simple card. Beware, the place is very busy, despite the very high competition in this sector. Finally, many cocktails are offered.

A cantina/bar in the heart of Paris, but yes, it is possible if you go to La Mexcaleria! This warm place honours the many festive places you can attend in Mexico City. Here everything is authentic but, of course, the main attraction of the site is the Mezcal, this typical drink rather spicy based on agave (cactus). Test, like other drinks on the map. On the other hand, we don't recommend the proposed dishes, a bit heavy (we should mention it) and not worthy of the good time spent in this nice bar. 

The team behind L'Experimental and Curio Parlor - now closed - is behind this Prescription, said to be one of the capital's best cocktail bars. It's a question of ambiance - select and cosy here - and also of the menu, which evolves like seasonal cuisine. In the heart of Odéon, this is a bar where you'll be guided if, by chance, you're not an expert in the art of cocktails; and if you are, that's okay too, you can experiment with the original creations.

The place looks like a New York bar, yet it's just a few minutes from the Place de la République. Beyond the cosy, original decor, you come here with friends to feast on great pizzas, and above all to enjoy cocktails masterfully made by top-notch staff - note that you can have your own drinks made! Open until late, the place gets progressively more festive as the evening progresses, with DJ sets on weekends and live music on Thursday nights. We couldn't agree more!

La Promenade Lounge is a cocktail bar located in the Halles district of Paris. It offers a cosy, subdued atmosphere, ideal for enjoying delicious cocktails. The armchairs are comfortable and the atmosphere pleasant. Prices are right for the neighborhood. Customers particularly recommend the cocktails, which are apparently very good and affordable. Certain dishes are also popular, such as the Salade Nordique and the Grilled Salmon. The Promenade Lounge also offers a buffet brunch with plenty of choice.

Born from a Franco-American concept, this bar, with its stylish lounge and décor, offers everything that a cocktail-restaurant bar can offer. Open from 7 a. m., you will enjoy your breakfast from 5,50 € with hot drinks, pastries and pressed fruit juice, but also lunch or dinner with original dishes around 15 €. And if it's not enough, go to the brunch with bacon omelet and pancake Nutella. Do you redemandez? That is to say: You will also be able to comfortably settle in a glass around a DJ.

Le Faust, under the Alexandre III bridge, on the banks of the Seine with the Grand Palais and the Eiffel Tower on the horizon, is one of Paris's must-visit establishments. The advantage is that you can really spend the whole evening there, as it's a bar, a club, located under the historic bridge, and a restaurant all rolled into one. If you choose to dine here, you're free to sway until very late on the dancefloor of the club next door, listening to the great sound of the international DJs who regularly take to the decks at Le Faust.

La Mezcaleria-Bar Clandestino isn't a bar, quite the contrary. It's simply the bar of the chic 4-star 1K hotel, a temple of Peruvian culture in Paris. And it takes its name from mezcal, an agave-based beverage distilled at around 40°. This spirit is reminiscent of tequila. The cocktails based on Peruvian brandy are all very surprising, like El Pepino: Pisco Tacama Acholado Hendrick's, fresh cucumber juice, yellow chartreuse, house rosemary liqueur, lemon juice, yolk, sugar, egg white and wasabi.

Whether you're a gin lover or just want to discover this increasingly trendy spirit, this bar is the place for you! Tiger Paris offers no less than 100 gins in 13 signature cocktails, and 1,040 combinations of gins and tonics! No one in the capital seems able to do better! In this magnificent setting, come - preferably with friends - to spend some time in a great atmosphere, with a team who know their beverages inside out, and who will be able to advise you in the best possible way. If your appetite is whetted, some tapas are also available.

Worn out by an intense day's work? Don't wait any longer and take a trip to one of the capital's most unusual addresses. Hidden away on the floor of a laundromat, this trendy new bar in the République district will surprise you. Set in a real Parisian apartment, you'll be able to sit on comfortable banquettes laid out for the occasion, or even on the swings for the more adventurous... On the menu: unique or classic cocktails revisited by the in-house barman. Drinks such as the Basilic instinct (fresh basil, cucumber, lime juice, Hendrick's cucumber and rose gin) or the French love (raspberry syrup, fruit, liqueur) are sure to relax you. The ideal bar to wash your clothes (with friends).

Nestled on the rooftop of the famous BHV Marais, the Perchoir lives up to its name, offering a breathtaking view of the capital and its emblematic monuments. And it's not just tourists who love to hang out at the Perchoir, but Parisians themselves, who know all the best places to grab a drink and a bite to eat! The cleverly staged decor and vegetation invite you to forget the hustle and bustle of the city. As for the view - we insist - it's unique. First come, first served: no advance bookings here!

On the ^7th floor above the Terrass hotel is the Rooftop, the establishment's bar, which will delight visitors and even aficionados of the area, as the view over Paris is so beautiful, especially at sunset. The Rooftop is the perfect place for an aperitif with friends or family, sipping one or two signature cocktails to the sound of a playlist or live music. It's a place you can go to depending on the program on offer, and it's a pretty rich one at that. The Rooftop can be covered depending on the weather, and is heated in winter!

It's one of the new spots on the Parisian cocktail scene, in a neighborhood that until now hasn't been the best for cocktails. The name? Candid! Unique, the place has been imagined as a throwback to the 1960s, to the so-called " Space Age ", i.e. the period of the conquest of space - we won't tell you more! The cocktails on offer range from classics to original creations, with or without alcohol, and include a snack bar and cocktail bar. Festive atmosphere guaranteed: we love it!

Lulu White is a So-Pi bar where people really like to party. As for its name, it's that of a famous naughty and libertine matchmaker... The Art Nouveau setting evokes the Belle Époque and, above all, absinthe, the star of the house, harmoniously blended with other elixirs. Great classics, notably from New Orleans, and new flavors are drunk against a backdrop of swing, jazz (especially on Sundays) or electro music. You'll also discover what's on the menu and in the decor, with familiar faces watching you!

This is the latest incarnation of the Artichef team, which not only offers excellent dining, but also makes a point of imagining atypical places. Mission accomplished for Tonton Becton, stuck in the 1970s. Mind you, only the premises are decorated in the style of that decade, because as far as the plates are concerned, the menu changes every two weeks, with products from small producers cooked just right. The place has a bar, a terrace and even a hidden space!

This chic cocktail bar in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés features a chic bar, where the bottles are sublimated by a visibly well-thought-out set-up, and a cosy basement where you can even dance the night away. Head bartender Jean-Michel Schibeny and his team offer a tempting menu of original signature cocktails and impeccable classics. You'll love the sharing plates, the pop/funk music and the fine selection of spirits. With its eco-responsible approach and homemade preparations, Arbane seduces with its know-how and inventiveness.

Located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, L'Impasse is a cocktail bar offering a selection of organic and natural wines, craft beers and sharing boards.

With its own bar, catering service and dedicated sound system, it's possible to organize business or personal events on site. According to customer feedback, the L'Impasse team is competent and experienced, capable of meeting the specific requirements of each individual.
