Bateau El Alamein
Few locations can rival the delights of this floating garden bar on the Seine. Relaxed on-deck conversation late into the night or live music inside.
La Folie en Tête
Cheap and delicious cocktails, among the funkiest sounds in Paris and a crowd dripping in French savoire faire. The perfect cosy bar. What are you waiting for?
Prescription Cocktail Club
Stylish speakeasy where you really can speak easily. A largely younger enthusiastic crew and patrons. Come later: if you start here you won't go anywhere else.
Rosebud
De Beauvoir and Sartre loved to drink here. A cult destination on the Left Bank, the polite, formal service and air of a lost time make it irresistible.
Le Montana
If you want to go where the models and film stars go, this is it. Designed by graphic artist André, it's very chic. But, the door policy can be unfathomable.
Le Comptoir du Rugby
Only the French could make a sports bar like this, colourful and actually stylish. Of course, beer not wine. But even those not watching the game feel welcome.
