Where to Drink in Paris this Week: 18 September 2024

Welcome to the weekly guide on where to drink in Paris. Every Wednesday, I spotlight three bars including an old favorite worth revisiting, something new (bars, menus, etc) and something ephemeral (guest shifts, special events).

Here’s where to drink in Paris this week:

A killer combo of cocktails and a view from Bramble bar at the Quai Brandy museum

Revisit an Old Favorite: Bramble Rooftop Bar at Les Ombres, Musée du Quai Branly

Paris has had its share of unpredictable weather this summer, but the forecast shows a few days of sunshine in the week ahead. So, it’s the perfect opportunity to revisit an old favorite, the Bramble Bar on the rooftop of the Quai Branly museum attached to the Les Ombres restaurant. This rooftop offers breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower, making it the ideal spot to soak up the sunshine with a refreshing cocktail in hand.
