In Paris, speakeasy bars seduce with their mysterious and confidential atmosphere. Inspired by clandestine barsdating back to the Prohibition era in the United States, they know how to cultivate the art of secrecy. To enter, you sometimes have to push open an anonymous door, walk through a shop, remove the right book from a library, or even know the right password.
Some are so well hidden that you'll have to look inside a laundromat, a grocery store, or even venture into a restaurant kitchen. The game begins even before you order! These hidden bars are designed to be cozy, with retro, vintage, or 1920s-inspired decor. People come here for the experience, but also forthe hushed atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of traditional bars.
Once found, these hidden barsreward keen detectives with elaborate and creative cocktails, sometimes original, sometimes classic, but always prepared with care. Discreet from the outside, these establishments are no less lively on the inside. But how do you find them?
One thing is certain: once you find the door, you'll want to come back. So, here are the best speakeasy bars in Paris!
