A huge marble bar ten meters long under a splendid original fresco by Adrien Karbowsky, here is the original décor of the bar of the Lutetia, which pays tribute to Josephine Baker on a jazz background. Chef Shaker Nicola Battafarano officiates here brilliantly by creating famous cocktails such as the Rive Gauche (vodka, St-Germain, citrus and celery shrub, champagne) or by revisiting all the classics. A very nice place to start the evening.
The new address of Cyril Lignac rue du Dragon. A bar as we love them, intimate and warm where you can have a drink before going to dinner or later to go dancing. Designed by Studio KO like all the chef’s other places, you can enjoy new cocktails accompanied by a delicious tarama or a hint of caviar.
Less known than its historic neighbor, the Hemingway Bar, the Ritz Bar, with its bistro spirit and its Art Deco-style decor, is undoubtedly more casual and friendly. But it remains a place of insiders, prized at the time of the first cocktails as the one of the last. The various and varied beverages are obviously perfect, like his neighbor, and to accompany them we nibble delicious tapas or dishes to share, with a soundtrack in the background very Ritzy.
A mythical place, artistic, literary, where nights are written to the sound of jazz piano, bursts of voice and clinking glasses. Cocktails are always here jewels.
Since 1766, Lapérouse is the Theater of Parisian life, but the bar, recently renovated by Laura Gonzalez, is on the way to become a place of worship of our nights. Red velvet, mirrors and pompoms, Bertrand Merlette (former Raphael) who prepares delicious elixirs and we are back to the Belle Epoque!
Also known as the Chinese Salon, the Bar du Costes has had a spotless reputation for 20 years now. The neo-Baroque decoration by Jacques Garcia and the clientele, a blend of anonymous people, celebrities and a handful of tourists make for a simultaneously muffled and festive atmosphere. A place to both have low-key cocktail evenings with friends and dance to DJ sets.
You are entering a legendary place which name owes nothing to chance as Hemingway was a regular there. Head bartender Colin Field enjoys global fame for his cocktails. But the reason why we keep coming is because of the intimate atmosphere, to be savoured early in the evening as well as when the night ends.
A blink and you’ll miss it entrance door makes the Castor Club feel like a speakeasy which attracts night owls with a love for true cocktails and beautiful alcohols. It is a place where you will sway a little bit during sets while sipping delicious beverages after arriving quietly in the middle of the night like a true germanopratine….A beautiful venue, to be shared only with close friends.
Silencio is a one of a kind private club, since it is dedicated to creative communities only. It is a place of exchanges and encounters which claims a filiation with many a place like literary salons, London clubs in the 18th century, [parles-tu du Tabou pour la référence aux existentialistes ?] and a few nightlife landmarks like the Palace and even Studio 54. At last partying and culture are gathered together in one place with this nightly platform for Parisian cultural life, exhibitions and fairs.
Silencio was conceived by David Lynch himself and boasts a photography gallery, a 24-seat movie theater, a library, two bars, one stage and a smoking room.
Members are welcome from Tuesday to Saturday from 6pm for the cultural programme, but the club is also open to all from Tuesday to Thursday from Midnight to 4am, and on Friday and Saturday until 6am.
Castel is the mythical club of Saint-Germain. A hundred times people said it was over, but it always comes to life again, constantly attracting new customers that become regulars. The clientele is a show by itself. A wildlife crowd of young trendy people mixes naturally with the longstanding regular customers for memorable parties.
The Bar de l’Hotel is true to the long tradition of discrete, muffled and refined hotels bars where we meet a writer, an actress or some friends around a cocktail.
A very New-Yorkish style for this very pretty club. Divine little alcoholic potions, a couple of writers, pretty germanopratin girls and fashion sub-editors come here to dance and to drink a Mojito. Come on, take a Florida Tarragon or a Mazarini Rosa before going to the Montana to spend the rest of the night with Parisian rebels.
