Cocktails are a whole thing here in Paris right now. There’s something for everyone, from the dark and moody to the pink and fruity. Whatever they’re mixing up, it’s sure to be memorable before it’s potentially forgettable.  (Before we hit, ‘publish’, let’s be sure to add in a ‘Shaken and Not Stirred’ joke here, those are always fun…)

Sister Midnight

Leop­ard prints, leather mini skirts, edi­ble glit­ter, Iggy Pop blast­ing through the speak­ers, drag queen shows — all that in the small small glam rock cock­tail bar in the mid­dle of kin­da-naughty Pigalle quar­ter. Fair warn­ing — there might be no space between you and the frilly lady­boys work­ing it like homo­erot­ic bal­leri­nas but near­ly get­ting kicked in the face by a drag god­dess bedaz­zled with gen­uine chi­nese crys­tals is part of the charm. So take your inner Fred­die Mer­cury and ride your bicy­cle (or maybe bet­ter take a taxi because the cock­tails here are so good they’re almost dar­ing you to stop after just one (and you lose absolute­ly every time)

Abricot

This is more than just a peachy (could­n’t stop myself) place with cute inte­ri­or and deli­cious cock­tails. This is a safe, inclu­sive space for those nights out when the girls (or gays, or theys, or any oth­er nice peo­ple) just wan­na have fun. Their menu is ful­ly plant-based, so no wor­ries for those of you search­ing for some veg­an-friend­ly places as well. Still not enough? They also have some fab­u­lous events going on, with con­certs and work­shops avail­able few times a week.

All in all, if you find your­self around the Belleville area (which you absolute­ly should, since it’s super cool, by the way), give those gals a visit.

L’Officine du Louvre 

Sit­tin’ pret­ty right in the luxe Hôtel du Lou­vre, this classy cock­tail bar will be a qui­et sanc­tu­ary in the neigh­bor­hood near the Lou­vre (as with any major world mon­u­ment, full of ~avoid­able~ places to open one’s mouth.) As a trib­ute to Napoleon III and his pas­sion for botany, L’of­ficine’s cock­tails (as well as clas­sic, but far from basic bar snacks) include a vari­ety of herbs, plants and roots — cre­at­ing mix­es that will take you right through that beau­ti­ful peri­od glass roof. Not in the mood for drinking/are Muslim/pregnant/a preg­nant Mus­lim? They offer a vari­ety of mock­tails, as well as every­day tea time pause and fan­cy brunch on the week­ends. Ok, it’s a hotel bar and we nor­mal­ly avoid these in favor of the neigh­bor­hood hus­t­las’ but the cock­tails were BEYOND here. Some of the best.

Le Très Particulier

With the largest hotel gar­den in the cap­i­tal, le Trés Par­ti­c­uli­er seduces you with  refresh­ing, next-gen cock­tails and lux­u­ri­ous bub­bly in one of our nev­er-gets-old, favorite sur­round­ings. (It feels pri­vate some­how, like you aren’t jammed up too close to the next table. We appre­ci­ate that.) Along with the hotel’s restau­rant, Le Grand Salon, the space feels sophis­ti­cat­ed with in-your-face (mer­ci) flower bou­quets and soft light­ing. The black and white check­ered floor­ing and red vel­vet chairs sit under a canopy of green­ery, trans­port­ing you into anoth­er time. But first you have to win their esteem by get­ting past the inter­com-door­man and gain­ing entry, giv­ing the place a some­what ‘speakeasy’ vibe — and keep­ing your shrinks in busi­ness as you can scratch your ‘pick-me’ itch for the price of a few cock­tails, which are always cheap­er than a ses­sion with your urbane, Eng­lish-speak­ing, ther­a­pist. So get your alter-ego ready for the ‘who dis?’ response on the oth­er end of the line.  (Per­son­al­ly, EIC Kat Walk­er goes with an obscure world polit­i­cal fig­ure because she dropped out of uni and nev­er quite got over an ex telling her, ‘Well, what if I AM smarter than you?)

Why name a bar, ‘Com­bat’? The neigh­bor­hood was once the site of cock and oth­er ani­mal fights, earn­ing it its name.
