Where to Drink Cocktails in Paris

There’s more to France than wine.

The Parisian bar scene has long been dominated by wine. But over the last several years, the craft cocktail movement has swept the city, and Paris is now among the world's top destinations for proper potations. This recent change is in no small part due to France’s craft bartenders who have embraced their country's rich culinary traditions and incorporated that reverence into cocktails. Thanks to long-held customs—and quite possibly because of governmental policies regarding spirit taxation—until recently, cocktails had never taken off in France the way they had in the United States or England. However, a new breed of creative, liquor-savvy bartenders is moving in. Not since the days of Prohibition, when many American bartenders took their trade to Europe, has there been a better time to drink cocktails in Paris. Here now, a list of the top places to grab a cocktail when visiting the City of Light.
