Paris, by night, is full of intimate and secret places to enjoy tasty cocktails. Between hidden bars, speakeasy and luxury hotel bars, Paris Select has tested the most chic and clandestine parties in the capital for you.
The Rehab – Hotel Normandy Le Chantier
Rue de l'Échelle, a stone's throw from the Louvre and the Opera, is Rehab, a speakeasy hidden in the basement of the Normandy Le Chantier hotel.
In a subdued atmosphere, discover a brand new original and unusual menu (with molecular or CBD cocktails). Varied and comfortable decorations await you in an atmosphere made up of antique furniture, from the opium bed to the sofa corner with Japanese decorations.
Talented bartenders will be able to advise you on the cocktail best suited to your desires!

The Souquet House Bar
A boudoir atmosphere in Pigalle in a former private mansion!
Go through the door of Maison Souquet (which once housed a brothel during the Belle Epoque) and ask for the hidden bar to enjoy a timeless experience. The Bar des petits bonheurs offers unique creations on its cocktail menu, bearing the names of famous courtesans, such as Leila, dancer at the Moulin Rouge (vodka infused with raspberries, Saint-Germain and ginger ale), or Belle Otero (fleur de caviar, malted barley syrup, gin, whiskey and bitter chocolate)…
The Bar, Maison Souquet – 10 Rue de Bruxelles, 75009 Paris

Doris Bar – Sir Winston
We already loved the Sir Winston restaurant, not far from the Arc de Triomphe, and its menu with Indo-British influences! Discover its brand new Doris Bar (in homage to Churchill's sulphurous and socialite lover), where all the cocktails of the moment are made with Baldoria vermouth. We enjoy a velvety and subdued atmosphere, which takes us back to the golden hours of the Orient-Express. So British!
Doris Bar, Sir Winston – 5 Rue de Presbourg, 75116 Paris

Jacques' Bar – Hotel Hoxton
The Hoxton is a very popular spot for creatives and foodies in the Sentier district. It has many eating places, but did you know that it also houses a speakeasy?
To reach Jacque's Bar, climb up a spiral staircase (from the 18th century!) and set off on an intimate and exotic journey, sipping exquisite cocktails with spicy flavors.
Jacques' Bar, Hoxton Hotel – 30-32 Rue du Sentier, 75002 Paris

The Very Particular – Private Mansion
Hidden under an imposing glass roof, the Très Particulier is a tea room during the day, which turns into a bar in the evening. Enjoy an intimate atmosphere with a decoration composed of tropical plants and red velvet sofas. The head barman Mickaël Kuhn offers sophisticated creations, with signature creations and his desires of the moment.
Our suggestion? The astonishing Mister Jingles 17, a smooth cognac and green chartreuse cocktail, enhanced with parsley syrup, verbena and milk… A real delight!
The Very Particular, Private Hotel – 23 avenue Junot 75018 Paris

James Joyces – The Faubourg Saint-Germain Pavilion
In the hotel Le Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain, you will discover the James Joyces bar. Orchestrated by Thibault Sombardier, you can settle down in his hushed literary salon where books from Gallimard editions accumulate. The bar is located in the continuity of the street, at number 3.
Precious furniture, designer accessories, concentric circles on the ceiling and other mosaics give a very Germanopratine atmosphere to this very select address.
