🇫🇷 Tasting France: Paris Speakeasies & Cocktail Bars

In a city with no shortage of great drinks, how do you choose where to go? I've rounded up my favorite speakeasies, semi-secret bars, and luxe cocktail spots! Each of these offers unique drinks in a fun space. This list runs the course from the smallest terrace in Paris to a Morrocan-themed speakeasy behind a convenience store! On this guide, you’ll get: - 19 bars, some hidden, others with hidden rooms, and others in plain sight - if it's hidden, how to find it or get inside - an interactive map to help navigate you to each bar - recommendations if they're known for a particular drink

I've organized them loosely into speakeasies, hidden bars, and great cocktail bars, but all are great!

Speakeasies

L'Épicier

A Moroccan themed speakeasy behind a convenience store! Find the secret door to get in. Spoiler: it's pretty easy, because there's usually a bouncer controlling the entrance. It's fun but easy to figure out! My favorite drink was the tete di bled - passion fruit, tea, and gin! Delicious. My favorite drink of a night of trying cocktails!

No Entry

In back of the well loved Italian chain in Paris and London, Big Mamma. Just go in and tell the hostess you're heading to cocktails at No Entry, and they'll discreetly point you to the entry!

Candelaria

Speakeasy behind a taqueria. It's a hole in the wall restaurant, so it's not hard to find the one door inside. Just go through to a darkened cocktail bar. Their specialty drinks are mostly tequila and mezcal based, but they also serve whatever you're craving! You can also get guacamole and quesadillas. Note that the classic margaritas are only at the taqueria. Same with the tacos, so consider grabbing a bite after as well!

Lavomatic

Speakeasy inside a laundromat! There's usually a bouncer outside, so finding the spot isn't that difficult. Wait your turn and then head inside. Owned by the same people as L'Epicier, a moroccan themed speakeasy two blocks away.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
