Prescription Cocktail Club

Paris's best cocktail bar, hidden behind an unmarked door in Saint-Germain

Address 23 Rue Mazarine, 75006 Paris
Opening Hours Mon–Thu 7pm–2am; Fri–Sat 7pm–4am; closed Sun

The cocktail culture that transformed bars in London and New York arrived in Paris through Prescription Cocktail Club, opened in 2009 in a former antique shop. The bar — behind an unmarked door, speakeasy-style — serves precisely made classic cocktails with good-quality spirits and fresh ingredients. The 1920s American expat aesthetic is done without irony.

One of the few places in Paris where the bartenders take cocktails as seriously as sommeliers take wine. Busy from 10pm; arrive earlier for a quieter drink. No reservations.
