Discover a magical terrace at le 1905, a hidden Paris cocktail bar
Quick Take: le 1905 is a hidden Paris cocktail bar with a cute terrace, fumoir and shabby chic decor above a busy, trendy neo-bistro Back in the day, early adopters of the cocktillian lifestyle felt quite comfy in the prohibition-style “speakeasies” that reintroduced the public to craft cocktails – but over time, this particular type […]
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 […]
Salacious-glam Cocktail Adventures: le 29 – CLOSED
le 29 29 rue Vineuse Paris 75016 06 18 40 89 93 I’ve said it before, but I have a fascination with the seedier side of Paris. I live near Pigalle, so I get daily doses of kinky sex shops, working ladies in action and the famous museum of erotica. So when i heard that […]

One of my current personal fault projects: I’m a little bit of a grudge holder. So, when the restaurant atop the Terrass Hotel started […]

Le Pompon 39 Rue des Petites Ecuries Paris 75010 Tel: 01 53 34 60 85 I’d heard rumors about reputable bar and design talent either potentially, marginally, temporarily or fully involved in le Pompon for some time before its opening a few months ago.

le Molotov: Soviet Inspired Paris Cocktail Bar
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 […]
Bacardi Mojito Lab: Paris Cocktail Bar
Bacardi Mojito Lab 28 rue Keller 75011 PARIS Tel : (+33) 1 75 77 23 95 Forest fact: I should probably be ashamed to admit the following, but I’m kind of fascinated by living statue buskers. I always wonder what they do at the end of a shift. Do they take the metro home in […]

Le Magnifique 25, Rue de Richelieu 75001 Paris Tel: 01 40 60 70 80 Ages ago I went to NYC with a friend and we went to some new in spot – the kind of club where you stand outside and the doorman picks and chooses among the hopefuls, granting access to the lucky few. […]
