Monsieur Antoine: Casual Cocktails & Caterpillar Salt
Since opening last November, Monsieur Antoine has been doing a tidy little business of pulling in the Avenue Parmentier pedestrians for refreshments plus an alternative playlist (think The Growlers, The Strokes, etc.) You might easily amble past the low-key exterior without realizing the liquid goodies that lie within. Inside, you’ll find natural wines and artisanal […]
Le Medusa: Where to get a nicely priced pint + a decent martini in Paris
Raise your hand if you love Mondays! As I suspected: just a few hands up out there in the inter-web world. And, I think I recognize those of you who shot up your arms, fingers frantically wriggling in the air; you’re the bartenders who appreciate your much-deserved days off on this quiet weekday when many […]
Ober Mamma: Italian Aperitivos & Cocktails
So, in my last post, I was going on about finding the new, the hidden, the things that everyone hasn’t yet discovered…basically bringing something to the table that isn’t already all over the blogosphere. But, that doesn’t mean, I’m not also going to hit the hype spots and talk up trendy tipples if they deserve […]
Bespoke: Cocktails, Sliders and Brunch (Relocating in 2018)
Bespoke 3 rue Oberkampf 75011 I’m not one of those people who can crank out a blog post in 20 minutes. By the time I visit a place (sometimes more than once), get my thoughts in order, maybe make a fresh martini, pull it together to write things, recheck things, format things, get pictures up, […]

Death by Burrito 4 Rue de la Fontaine au Roi 75011 Paris Last month brought out the lists of cocktail trends for 2014 and predictions for 2015. One of the things we’ve seen a bit of in Paris – which I think will become more prevalent – is bars focusing on a single spirit. A […]

Lone Palm: 50’s California Cocktails in Paris
Lone Palm 21 rue keller 75011 Paris The boys behind the Tiki Lounge now have a new spot with a personality all its own. This time they’ve traded blowfish lamps and masks for something more midcentury modern. Here, you can sip like a Californian lounge lizard of the 50’s when “modern design” meant comfy booths, […]
Cafe Moderne: Serving Up Some of Paris Best Cocktails
Café Moderne 19 Rue Keller 75011 Paris The streets around Bastille are bursting with bars serving cheap drinks that pull in a young, lively crowd. And while there is no shortage of options, there aren’t many that manage to stand out from the crowd. However, I stopped in at the Café Moderne with Caroline recently, […]
Moonshiner: Prohibition Style Cocktails in Paris
Moonshiner 5 rue Sedaine 75011Paris When it comes to cocktails, I get around. Pre-batched, on tap, carbonated, bottled, aged, shrubs, smoked, frozen, jellified, high octane, low octane, molecular, bitters, gin, whisky, mescal, pisco, house-made syrups, and infusions. I’m familiar. Same goes for hidden entrances and speakeasy styles. So, sometimes I must remind myself that just […]
