"New York in Paris"
You might wonder why visit an American bar while in Paris—but this place makes it worth it. Steeped in history and serving some of the best cocktails in the city, it’s a must-visit. I had the best French 75 I’ve ever tasted, and my friend absolutely loved her Bloody Mary. The atmosphere is lively and fun—yes, it gets crowded, but that’s part of its charm. We sat upstairs, so we didn’t get to experience the music scene downstairs, but overall, it’s a great stop for a memorable drink in Paris.
"Fantastic Bar and Cocktails!"
Such a fun bar experience! We were greeted as soon as we walked in and found seats at the bar. The bartender was incredibly friendly, offered great recommendations, and made fantastic cocktails. I initially thought it might be a bit touristy, but it turned out to be an amazing place to relax, enjoy a great drink, and soak in the lively atmosphere.
"Well worth a visit."
A very stylish spot serving top-notch cocktails, with bartenders happy to mix up drinks even if they’re not on the menu. One staff member went above and beyond by sharing great recommendations for cocktail bars in his hometown of New York — a thoughtful touch that made the experience even better. The space is quite small, so it’s best to arrive early if you want to grab a seat. A perfect stop for cocktail lovers looking for great service and atmosphere.
"Great Bar in Paris"
Wonderful experience at this small yet charming bar in Paris, just a short walk from Le Grand Intercontinental. The atmosphere is intimate, the cocktails are classic and expertly crafted, and the service is excellent. Definitely worth a visit for anyone who appreciates quality drinks and a touch of Parisian charm!
"Old fashion cocktail bar"
We visited this bar based on a recommendation while in Paris. The staff were friendly, but overall, the place didn’t stand out. It feels like it could use a refresh — a new coat of paint and a little updating would go a long way. An okay spot for a quick drink, but not particularly memorable.
"An iconic establishment worthy of a visit"
We stopped in after exploring the Palais Garnier and were delighted to discover the bar’s rich history — once frequented by Ernest Hemingway and other legendary writers and artists. The atmosphere was timeless, and we enjoyed a perfectly made French 75 and a cold beer. The server was attentive, and the complimentary snacks were a nice touch. A lovely stop for anyone wanting to soak in a bit of Parisian history with their drink.
"Pricey but nice !"
We stopped in for a drink on a cold, wet November day, seeking refuge from the snow. Although there was no live music during the day, the bar’s warm and cozy atmosphere made it a perfect spot to unwind. The vintage American décor and attention to detail added a nostalgic charm, and the bartender was friendly and engaging. Prices were a bit on the higher side, but complimentary nuts were a nice touch. Given its prime location just a short walk from the Louvre, the experience felt worth it — a cozy, character-filled pause in the heart of Paris.
"Harry’s New York Bar Paris (Paris, France)"
From a personal perspective, I’d give this bar a 4 out of 5. As someone who enjoys malt whiskey and well-crafted cocktails, I found the selection impressive and the execution solid — particularly the classics like the French 75 and Old Fashioned. The atmosphere is steeped in history, with that old-world Parisian charm and a touch of Hemingway nostalgia. The space is intimate, so it can get crowded, but that’s part of its allure. Service was attentive, and the complimentary snacks were a thoughtful addition. Prices are on the higher side, but you’re paying for both quality and ambiance. A must-visit for cocktail enthusiasts who appreciate craftsmanship and a bit of literary history — just don’t expect a quiet drink, as this gem is rarely empty.
"Night time spot for good cocktails"
We visited this bar since it was just around the corner from our hotel, and we’d heard it’s the place that allegedly invented the Bloody Mary. The space is quite small and always busy (we stopped by twice during our trip), but it has a wonderful charm that makes it easy to see why it’s so popular. Cocktails are a bit pricey, but they’re expertly made and absolutely worth it. A great spot for classic drinks and a taste of Parisian cocktail history — we really enjoyed both our visits.
