Really love this cocktail bar (p.s. there is really no wine, coffee, tea, etc)…read more Wonderful red velvet armchairs, groovy 1960s rock 'n roll music in the background and a New York style cocktail bar from the 30s....what more do you want!!! The service is fabulous, poor English, though extremely helpful. It's a very cosy bar. If you're in the area, do check this place out...it's also very central to so many other places in Paris, so it's a great place to start or finish at...I wouldn't make it THE place to go. I had a very fruity vodka based cocktail (see photos) and my wife had a sweet beetroot cocktail (which she was fabulous).

There are bars and then there's Dr. Lupin. This is like stepping into a parallel universe, where…read moreall my fantasies become reality. Unbelievably friendly bar keep: check. Perfect taste in music: Check. Best - and I really mean BEST cocktails this side of Manhattan: Check. We stumbled into Dr. Lupin looking for a quick night cap and eneded up spending the best part of 4 hours there. So: we walk in. The bloke behind the bar exclaims before we even sat down: "I have no idea how to make a cocktail! I'm just guarding the fort! I can pour a beer if thats what you want". "Sure". I notice something about Jack Daniels in the bar and casually mention a Lemmy... "Don't move! The real bar tender is a Motörhead fan!". Peter (I think that's his name, but I was hammered, so could well be Rudolph for all I remember), walks in and takes his place behind the bar. We start exchanging stories of how we met Lemmy back when he was immortal... Aaaaaand... it was all uphill from there on. We slap some Motörhead on the sound system, cranck it up to 11... and the rest is history. I did mention the best cocktails this side of Manhattan. Let me explain: 50ml of Gentleman Jack 20ml of maple syrup 2 dashes of angostura bitters Top off with stout or porter beer. Grate some Tonka bean on top That called a Lemmy Angel and it's MAGIC! You have to try the hot bloody mary too. If only to see the only known use of a flame thrower in the preparation of a cocktail. EPIC! Merci les amis. Ce fût une soirée mémorable!

I loved this neighborhood bar with all my heart. Located near Cirque d'Hiver, it's a no frills but…read morevery pleasant interior (love the circus mural on the back wall!). Our friends stopped in and loved it, so we went back on our last night in town. Prices? Cheap! €2 beers during happy hour made my group happy but I loved the very nice rose bring poured, again at a reasonable price. The bartender is very kind and welcoming for sure, even to tourists. I don't think they serve food (beyond snacks) but it's a great spot to have a cozy drink in a 99% locals place.

The drinks are reasonable, and the patrons are working folk from the neigbhorhood. It's in a great location--on the boundary of Oberkampf and Le Marais. L'Autobus, vous me manquez!

I totally recommend their cocktails, they have a large offer of mojitos (classic, raspberry, passion fruit, mango...) and also other classic cocktails like the usual sex on the beach and so on. They also give you complimentary dried fruits (banana, coconut, papaya..) with your drinks. I tried the passion fruit mojito, which was a great election! I liked it ! The service was good, with a welcoming staff. You need to order your drink at the counter though. I thought the space was alright, we sat in the group corner which was cool but it was cold inside. It is a lounge still kind of place but I think it still needs some more decoration. I recommend you to have few drinks here and have dinner in the neighborhood
