The ultimate guide to Parisian cocktail bars
If you are a fan of Parisian culture and love cocktail bars, you are in for a treat! Bars in Paris are a true symbol of the French art of living. Parisians love to drink and bars are at the heart of their social life. It is a friendly place where you can meet friends, colleagues or even strangers and enjoy a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Bars in Paris are the best bars in the world because they reflect the history and culture of the city itself.
There are different types of cocktail bars in Paris, each with its own atmosphere and specialities.
Classic cocktail bars have a hushed atmosphere and often elegant decor. The bartenders are experts in the art of mixing and offer a wide range of classic cocktails, such as the Martini, the Negroni and the Manhattan. But they are also able to create original cocktails from top quality ingredients in this spirit, there is the Zazou in the 6th for example.
Modern cocktail bars, on the other hand, have a more modern approach and a more contemporary decoration. They offer a wide variety of cocktails, from the classic to the more original, often with an emphasis on local and seasonal ingredients, as well as modern mixology techniques. The bartenders in these bars are often very creative and can create bespoke cocktails for customers, such as La Bonne Décision on Rue Oberkampf.
Speakeasies are bars that have a clandestine atmosphere, as if you were entering an illegal bar during prohibition. They may be hidden behind discreet doors or facades of other businesses, and may require a password or reservation to access. Speakeasies often offer classic cocktails, but with a modern twist like the aptly named Speakeasy bar in the 16th.
If you're looking for a more themed experience, themed cocktail bars are the way to go! For example, you could try a caliente-themed bar like Cuba Compagnie Café in the 11th arrondissement.
Finally, if you're willing to spend a little more for a luxurious experience, luxury cocktail bars are for you. They are often located in luxury hotels or high-end restaurants and offer exclusive cocktails made with rare and expensive ingredients. These are places frequented by a wealthy clientele, such as the Hemingway bar at the Ritz in Place Vendôme.
In short, if you like cocktail bars, you will certainly find your happiness in Paris. The different types of bars offer unique and diverse experiences, reflecting the history and culture of the city. So it's up to you to find the bar that suits you best!
