Reviews

Loved this spot. We went during the holidays, which made the atmosphere feel even more festive. Some of the best classic cocktails I’ve had, and the bartender was incredibly friendly and helpful. No pretentiousness at all, just great drinks and great service. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Paris.
