Paris’s most stylish bars for chic get-togethers

The capital is a vibrant epicenter of worldly nightlife. For those in search of a unique and sophisticated experience, Paris’ chic bars offer unforgettable rendezvous.

Le Très Particulier at the Hôtel Particulier

Hidden beneath an imposing glass roof, the Très Particulier is a tea room by day, which transforms into a bar by night. Enjoy the intimate ambience, decorated with tropical plants and red velvet sofas. Chef-bartender Mickaël Kuhn offers sophisticated creations, with his own signature creations and his whims of the moment. Our suggestion? The astonishing Mister Jingles 17, a suave cocktail with cognac and green chartreuse, enhanced with parsley syrup, verbena and milk… A real delight!

Le Bristol After dark

There’s no hint, no sign that the Bristol’s refined bar, adorned with century-old woodwork, plush sofas and silk carpets, transforms itself into a nocturnal sanctuary after 10pm. However, as Paris prepares to go to sleep, the world of palaces merges with that of the night, and wisdom metamorphoses into B.A.D., alias Bristol After Dark. B.A.D. nights will be even more fashionable, more pop, more disco, more delirious. Cocktails create new harmonies, and DJ-sets practice the other art form of mixology, brilliantly fusing disco, eighties or pop rhythms into the 21st century.

Le Ritz Bar

This new card takes the form of an authentic biodynamic calendar. It links the astral signs of fire to fruit, air to flowers, earth to roots and water to leaves. Above all, the menu takes a fresh approach to cocktail design. Indeed, each creation is imagined arounda single ingredient in all its facets. For a single flower, several varieties and origins are extracted using different methods, either in the Ritz Bar laboratory or by craftsmen. So you can select your cocktail according to your favorite element or the astral alignment of the day!

Ritz Bar – Signature cocktail: €35, Canapés: €35. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 5.30 pm to 11.30 pm. Access via 15 place Vendôme 75001 Paris, or 38 rue Cambon 75001 Paris

Le Bar Long du Royal Monceau

Who said palaces weren’t for fun? For a convivial, gourmet and sometimes festive moment, the Bar Long is always a good idea.

To accentuate this convivial side, the Bar Long has set up festive evenings, to be discovered every Thursday evening from 6.30pm to 10pm. These “live band evenings” are the ideal time to enjoy a break with friends, couples or even the whole family. Delicious tapas, tasty cocktails and musical performances worthy of the best jazz clubs.
