The 46 Bar, a creative cocktail bar in Paris - Video

Both chic and trendy, The 46 Bar is an address not to be missed. ThisNew York-style spot is ideal for a drink with friends or a date. Head to the République district to discover this address with a strong identity.

New York-style ambience

Pushing open the doors of 46 Bar, you discover a spot with a subdued, offbeat ambience imagined by Malek, the owner. A huge 7-metre-long wooden counter adorned with a beautiful floral arrangement sets the tone. We're totally seduced by this setting, where raw materials rub shoulders with antique furniture, and a plant wall turns into a hall of mirrors.

At the far end, a trompe l'oeil fresco byartist Marie Vagnini transports us into a pastoral universe. The result is a New York-style bar where Lewis Carroll's Wonderland meets the world. Whether seated at a wood-panelled counter or curled up on a sofa, there's a spot for everyone! Let yourself be carried away by the electro-swing playlist as you browse the menu.

Custom cocktails

On the counter side, Victor is in charge. Each cocktail preparation is a real show, and the highlight is the tasting. Let yourself be tempted by the à la carte creations, such as the Dark and Stormy, a cocktail made with ginger beer, lime and Jamaican rum. A perfectly balanced recipe reminiscent of a tart candy.

Gourmets will love the Porn Star Martini. Vanilla-infused vodka, passion fruit, a touch of lime and you've got a cocktail that can be savored like a pastry. Finally, for those in search of a drink with character, we fall for the Captain Negroni, whose powerful bitterness blends perfectly with the smoky note of mezcal, and with a skull-shaped ice cube to give it a mouthful.

But here's some news that will delight those who are eager to discover new things, or even those who are undecided: at 46 Bar you can also enjoy personalized cocktails. You can ask Victor to improvise a drink for you according to your tastes, your desires, or even to give free rein to his imagination. And there he is, juggling all the while making your cocktail. And to make it as beautiful as it is delicious, he uses the flowers in the bouquet to decorate your drink. This is how we discover two original creations with surprising compositions.

The first, immediately christened the Spartan Spritz, features mastihac (pine sap) liqueur, kumquat-flavored Athenian Vermouth, cointreau, yellow lemon juice, gin, hibiscus syrup, mint and prosseco. An ultra-floral, refreshing creation ideal for sunny days. The second, Davy Jones Sour, is made with honey syrup, grapefruit juice and yuzu, house spiced rum, egg white and angustura bitter. Not too tart, we love the balance of flavors that make for a surprisingly smooth cocktail with a slight hint of bitterness that awakens the taste buds.

Gourmet tapas

And to accompany these beautiful creations at any time of day, the 46 bar 's menu offers you the chance to break bread with a beef sausage hot dog, or nibble on toast with artichoke cream, peppers or rillettes. But our favorite part is the planks.

We literally fall for the Cecina de Leon beef jerky platter, with its slices that literally melt on the palate. And if, like us, you're a big cheese lover, the cheese board is sure to please: Tomme de brebis, Comté 18 mois, Fourme de Valcivière and Neuchâtel, all accompanied by an onion confit with Corsican honey, a red bell pepper and myrtle berry chutent and kalamata olives, we're in for a real treat!

Whether for the atmosphere or the drinks, The 46 Bar has a great chance of becoming your next HQ.
