Paris built one of Europe's most respected cocktail scenes, much of it clustered in the 3rd arrondissement and the Marais where speakeasy-style rooms and serious bartending took hold. The grand hotel bars hold the other end of the tradition. Little Red Door on Rue Charlot and Candelaria in the 3rd are modern landmarks, while Bar Hemingway at the Ritz on Place Vendôme in the 1st keeps the classic style.
Le Syndicat ★ 4.5
51 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis, 75010 Paris
Le Syndicat in Paris's 10e mixes cocktails using only French spirits, a rule the bar has kept since opening in 2014. The graffitied facade hides 18 seats.
Little Red Door ★ 4.6
60 Rue Charlot, 75003 Paris
Little Red Door in Paris's 3e Marais runs a menu themed around the chemistry of plants, with custom-distilled spirits. Order the plant-based menu.
