Top 5 Cocktail Bars in Ile-de-France

82 Rue de Charenton, 75012 Paris, France

“Amazing cocktail bar! One of the highlights of our trip to Paris. The drinks were delicious and the service was fantastic. They constantly provided us with complimentary water and also made great non-alcoholic cocktails for our party member who does not drink. The bar was cozy and comfortable with a laid back attitude where the employees wear Boxer shorts and bowties. Overall we enjoyed our visit and would like to come again on our next trip to Paris.”

197 Av. Daumesnil, 75012 Paris, France

“Cannot recommend this place enough! Every time I’m in Paris I have to come here. The food is great, they have so many games, and the staff and people who hang out there are so nice. Almost all of the staff speaks English yet the place is still very authentically French. It’s not “a tourist bar” but it’s perfect and welcoming for any and all tourists. If you are in Paris you have to go here!!!”

24 Rue Baillet Reviron, 78000 Versailles, France

“If you are lucky and get a place downstairs - nice I am sure. We were sent upstairs to an unheated room, service not available and after 30 minutes without anyone wanting to take our drink order we had to leave.”

11 Rue Tiquetonne, 75002 Paris, France

“Occasionally, fortunate occurrences present us with the opportunity to discover truly exceptional and distinctive destinations during our travels. This particular establishment is undoubtedly one of those extraordinary gems. Its remarkable collection of whisky, combined with a charmingly rustic and elegant bar, creates an ambiance that is unparalleled. Moreover, the customer service provided is truly exceptional, ensuring an unforgettable experience for all patrons.”

15 Pl. Vendôme, 75001 Paris, France

“Waited for about 40 minutes in line. Fantastic cocktails! Would recommend the Raspberry Martini and Serendipity! The bar food was also delicious!”

54 Bd de la Tour-Maubourg, 75007 Paris, France

“Amazing experience !! The atmosphere is amazing for a dinner or birthday party. We had so much fun, the waiters are super nice and friendly. We had dinner and then moved to the room with the DJ. It's a small room but you can't imagine the atmosphere !! The room can be privatised also! A must try. I only put 4 stars because the quantity of food is a bit small but the food is delicious 😆 the place closes at 2 a.m.”

14 Rue Germain Pilon, 75018 Paris, France

“Great, cosy little bar. Full of locals so we knew it was good. Prices were so affordable, we went out for only one drink and came home smashed after 4 cocktails. Lived the staff, were super efficient, nice and spoke great English. Loved it!”

38 Rue de Sambre-et-Meuse, 75010 Paris, France

“Exactly what we were looking for, a local cocktail bar with a great atmosphere. On the street corner, spilling out into the road, stylishly designed and awesome cocktails. We've been looking for a basil cocktail for ages and the Point Vert didn't disappoint. The bar staff were super professional, talented and quick. It's not a touristy place but we felt accepted like the locals. Great cocktail selection and reasonably priced at €10. Gonna go back during happy hour 7pm to 9pm and try some other cocktails! Can't wait”

7 Rue Lobineau, 75006 Paris, France

“My visit to this wine bar was a great experience overall. Loved the venue, super cozy and not too loud. The variety of wines by the glass and bottle was very nice. Great snacks too, good quality charcuterie and bread.”

12/A Rue Ella Fitzgerald, 75019 Paris, France

“"There's no more kombucha, it's in the other fridge"...bartender points to fridge 3 meters away like it's Timbuktu..."wait, you can't get a kombucha from right over there?!"...bartender gets kombucha. Three stars for the festive atmosphere and the friendly staffer carting items across the seating area.”

rue, 7 Rue du Pot de Fer, 75005 Paris, France

“You like wine? You enjoy live music? You prefer better quality food to fast food? Well, this is the place for you! An amazing bar to spend an evening with a friend. You have places inside and outside (heated if the weather is cold). I did not find a menu online before the visit, so, hopefully my pictures of the menu will be added. Meat or fish based and vegetarian dishes. Good choice of wines. Generous portions. Friendly staff.”

4 Cité Griset, 75011 Paris, France

“This place is fancy and cosy, but music is extremely loud (impossible to speak with the person next to you) and service a bit cahotic. Maybe i came the wrong night. Prices of the cocktail in the average of Paris. If you want to relax and talk with friends chose another bar.”

13 Rue Moret, 75011 Paris, France

“Great atmosphere & facilities, prices a little steep but in line with the area/region/country. I recommend the corona on tap. Bouncer outside not super friendly, kept telling people to be quiet.. it’s the weekend…? Service inside outstanding.”

11 Rue Lapeyrere, 75018 Paris, France

“Welcoming, hospitable bartender, lovely setting”

75 Rue de Seine, 75006 Paris, France

“This is a locals hot spot to get drinks. It's hard to find a table sometimes, but it's a great spot for socializing. Good vibes.”

6 Av. de la Prte Molitor, 75016 Paris, France

“Amazing atmosphere! From the rooftop Molitor you could see the Roland Garros & also the Molitor swimming pool. Reservation is must. Molitor was the most popular swimming bath in Paris for 60 years, since it first opened in 1929 until the door closed in 1989. Luckily it re-opened again in 2014. If you watched @emilyinparis season 2, you might recognize this swimming pool from this @netflixnl serie and this song as well.☺️ For me, the even more amazing part would be the view overlooking Roland Garros courts which I felt super lucky to be able to be there.”

24 Rue Notre Dame de Nazareth, 75003 Paris, France

“Excellent service and the waitress was really helpful. The place although it is small it has a unique atmosphere . Our cocktails were very nice. I really like the entrance. Recommended 100%”

69 Rue des Gravilliers, 75003 Paris, France

“I'm extremely disappointed with the service I received at this bar. I arrived at 10pm with five friends, and to our surprise, the manager told us we had to leave the table by 12am. What's most frustrating is that the manager didn't inform us upfront that the table was reserved for other people. If I had known, I wouldn't have chosen to spend my evening there… It's disheartening to experience such poor hospitality at a bar that's supposed to be cool and high-end. This falls far short of the service standards one would expect.”

99 Rue de Ménilmontant, 75020 Paris, France

“Varied and quality musical events, top service, ultra friendly atmosphere, I highly recommend!!!”

5 Rue Turgot, 75009 Paris, France

“Really enjoyed it! My steak was juicy and the sauce was delicious plus well cooked fries and fresh baguette. The ambience is super nice for an afternoon or evening - especially when sitting outside in the square. Service was helpful as well. I would definitely go back.”
