Small Batch Cocktail & Spirits News from France
Mabel 58 Rue d’Aboukir 75002 Paris In a country with historical ties to isles that have long distilled rhum agricole and a population of partygoers whose weekends are fueled by mojitos, Paris has still never managed to offer up much of interest for rum fanatics. Until recently, those looking for a more serious side of […]
La Cave a Cocktail 62 rue Greneta 75002 Paris Last night the girls and I popped into Club RaYe to visit with the owner and meet up with Tim from Monkey Shoulder. We did some recon on the location for a future meetup and some taste testing of a cocktail kindly created by Tim a […]
Lockwood 73 Rue d’Aboukir 75002 Paris With the emergence of a new breed of coffee bar, cocktails aren’t the only notable drinking trend to hit the capital over the past few years.

Park Hyatt 5 Rue de la Paix 75002 Paris I’m all about the holiday spirit this year. I’ve been going to Christmas markets, gazing at the lights and wrapping pressies with glee.

L’Etage 14 Rue des Capucines 75002 Paris 01 42 61 66 71 I don’t really spend all of my time drinking and eating. I also spend a lot of time reading, researching, writing and talking about drinking and eating. So, naturally, I hear a lot of buzz. When a friend recently called for a restaurant […]

The Art Room 13 rue Tiquetonne 75002 Paris The newly opened Art Room is a fashion dandy’s dream with three floors of carefully calculated frivolity. The main floor is a glossy black cube with films projected on the walls, reproduction chairs and super-stylish chandeliers. From there, you can take a seat upstairs in the miniscule […]
Jefrey’s 14, Rue St Sauveur 75002 Paris Even though Jefrey’s was freshly opened when I stopped in, I’ve been sitting on the post for awhile because I wasn’t immediately inspired. Since I’ve written about it for other sites it’s time to get inspired to give the full rundown with the nit-picking reign that only having […]
4 rue du Port Mahon 75002 Paris Tel.: 01 73 70 98 46 Russian sounds irresistibly sexy to me. I’ve always been fascinated by the language and its unfamiliar alphabet. I took a Russian class once, but never got much further than learning the meaning of babushka. Contrary to its appealing sound, I discovered it’s […]
La Conserverie 37 bis, rue du Sentier 75002 Paris Tel: 01 40 26 14 94 As some of you know, I like to throw around bit of Forest philosophy from time to time. Here’s today’s: You never know if you’ve surpassed your full potential until you’ve failed. I’ll let you chew on that for a […]
