Such a fun little cocktail bar! Awesome drinks, fun menu, and yes there is a little red door that you can take a pic by when you leave if you're annoying like me! I see comments that the bartenders/waitresses were rude. Honestly, I think you'll find people like that anywhere -- I can only speak to our experience which was that our waitress was phenomenal. Very friendly and sweet. We'll definitely come back again next time we're in Paris! read more

this was recommended to me by a friend and did not disappoint. Service was friendly and informative!! Atmosphere had a very cozy speakeasy feel with a bit of a bohemian touch. Most impressive was of course the cocktails. Loved the story behind the drinks as well as the innovative menu--this definitely added to the overall experience. We ordered two cocktails and can honestly say that we never have or will taste anything like it again (delicious!! And so creative). A bit more expensive then we usually spend on cocktails, but worth it for such a cool spot read more

Such a dank little hole in the wall. There was a line outside we had to stand in due to the space not being able to accommodate everyone but the wait wasn't too bad. There was a mix of locals and tourist and this place is all about the cocktails. They really look to the U.S for inspiration as far as our history of making cocktails go. The drink menu is really interesting. You can look at a picture (not related to your drink other than being assigned to it) OR there is a pull tab in each picture to see the ingredients and make an informed decision. I let the server bring me random drinks so I could get a feel of what they had to offer and was really satisfied with the mix and flavor combinations. Small details like glacier ice (ice without oxygen) caught my eye. The music was sporadic and hoped too many genres and languages for there to be any real flow but it was not an issue. The only real issue I had with the place was the PRICE!!!! Waaaaaay toooooo expeeeennnnssive for the size and ingredients. I think because you don't find places like these so commonly in France they charge a bit more than they should. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C. read more

Loved this hidden gem! Good luck trying to figure out how to get in if the door man isn't there. Drinks are clever and well done! Bartenders are super nice and friendly. Went here twice on a recent trip and will definitely be recommending it to anyone going to Paris! read more

Really fantastic find which I read about on a travel forum. It was close to our AirBnB so we walked over one evening after dinner. Never saw a sign on the place so it may be easy to miss, but did see that they have a "Little Red Door", which isn't the entry, but a decoy. There was a line to get inside but the bouncer invited us in after we completely misunderstood the "line" and walked up. We were visiting from America. Invite in, we waiting to be escorted to the back where a server asked us if we understood the drink menu situation. We said we didn't. She explained that there is no traditional menu. We'd be given a book of artwork from which to choose artwork which depicts how we want to feel. We give the server the number which corresponds with the selected artwork and the related drink will be created and delivered. Soooo cool!! We had a great time browsing the art and trying to guess what might be in a drink made to link to that art. It's not cheap. But also not unreasonable. Very tiny place lit with candles. It feel like a private club. Smaller bar and the rest of the seating is velvet sofas and chairs. Eclectic! A must do. Go a little on the earlier side to avoid the long line to enter. read more

Amazing drinks and such a cool spot! Such a cool little speakeasy. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

Came here yesterday with my lovely friend and we embarked on the journey of the cocktail tasting. We loved the attentive service and kind staff. Cocktails were well balanced and served in a gorgeous stemware. Prices were adequate. We were unlucky to be there when their ac broke down - it was hot. So unfortunately we did not stay long and had to venture out elsewhere read more

The menu is very cool in concept and execution, and the bar set up is cozy and great for small gatherings. I came early with a friend on a Sunday, so there was plenty of space to sit wherever we pleased. Bartenders were also quite affable! To be honest, I was disappointed in the cocktails I had here, and that's the main reason why I give this place only 3 stars. As someone who regularly frequents other World's 50 Best bars in NYC and is constantly put through a series of wonderful emotions with their cocktails, my drink at LRD was relatively predictable and uninteresting. To be fair, both drinks I sampled were well made, balanced drinks. But I'm not seeing what makes this place great. read more

So glad we went to check out this spot. We heard about this place from my boyfriend's boss. This is a great cozy spot for good drinks and music! The bartenders are nice. It's a low key, relaxed, grownup vibe. We did have to wait in line for almost 20mins. It had been a while since I did this...But, it's worth it. read more

Amazing experience that captures you from the entrance... literally! Enjoyed the atmosphere and the truly unique spin on the menu! The drinks continue to reflect their unique vibe! Grab a date and go have a great night! read more

Little Red Door. as a person on Holiday from the states with limited time to see everything, I made this place a priority and they did not disappoint. I was promptly greeted by Barney a server/bartender who provided amazing service. LRD made the top 50 bars list along with Dandelyan in London which I had visited the night before. Well let me say the new version which is now called Lyansse. Anyway, the drinks came out fast and they were top notch. After Barmey asking where I was from we promptly chatted up bars in DC one of which will be the DC version Lyanesse. He also recommended places in Paris to visit as I only had 24. He gave me 3 other bars to try while on my stay here. I would recommend LRD to anyone who comes to Paris. What turned out to be a one and done drink ended up being a late night speak easy tour. LRD I will be back. read more

Truly a hidden gem. Found this spot while walking the streets of Paris with my partner.

Little Red Door is totally hyped. I live a few doors down from the Little Red Door, and was used to seeing the trendy-looking clientele walk in an out. I happen to love cocktail bars, and after reading a lot of glowing reviews, I felt like I had to try. I thought the ambiance and decor was cool: it was an on-trend, shabby-chic, lowly-lit bar. My friend and I order two different cocktails each throughout the night. None of the four, however, was that great. They seemed unbalanced, to the point where neither of us could identify the ingredients listed on the menu in our cocktails. Given the price, I expected better execution, especially in a neighborhood teeming with a high-quality cocktail bars! My conclusion: skip Little Red Door and wander a few blocks in any direction for better cocktails. read more

Absolutely amazing and friendly staff (indoors, not outdoor. The bouncer is a complete douche full of unnecessary rudeness and sass). Good drinks with great ingredients. Thank you! read more

I don't want to give this place away, but I can't keep it a secret!!! Everything is just so wonderful: the discreet entrance, the little red door, the perfectly dimmed lighting, ungodly comfortable bar seats, fabulous cozy corners, a beautiful bottle display and did I mention the phenomenal cocktails?? These guys know what they're doing. As they should, they are some seriously experienced mixologists. The first time I went, their menu hadn't been established so the barmen were all ears when it came to what you wanted: "i'm craving something with pomerol, with porto, with st. germain, with citrus, something spicy" and tada! there it was, your dream cocktail. (Prices were to-be-expected in the 12E range.) The second time around was for the opening, and that night I sampled three punches, all of which I could drink all day every day. Imagine a refreshing, energizing gin, rosemary, cucumber, lime, burst of delightfulness. Followed by the brightest most endearing mixture of bourbon, clementine juice and a drop of a cloudy sirop made from sweet corn. The last punch was rum based and tasted to me like Christmas, it had a warm, spicy, mulled wine thing going on, a real spirit-lifter. As I mentioned, the decoration is great. There are plenty of nooks for you and your friends or you and your love to get settled in to. There's even a loft space--a cozy giant eagle's nest, if you will, where you and 8 friends can hunker down with some fabulous libations and watch the crowd circulate down below. There's table service, so no need to go up to the bar every time you're ready for another drink. Just sit back, enjoy the tunes and let your cocktail take you some where far, far away from the grey streets of Paris on the other side of that little red door. read more

It was the wife and my last night in France. We decided to change it up and go out for cocktails. After a little research, we made the Little Red Door our destination. True to its name, we entered the Little Red Door (however, not through the faux little, red door) and found a charming, intimate cocktail lounge that could feel at home in NYC's LES. It was early evening on a Saturday night and the bar was largely empty when we arrived. We grabbed two seats at the bar. We were warmly greeted by Piotr and Matthew, the friendly (and fluent English speaking) bartenders. We were treated to a series of outstanding cocktails made with precision and skill by Piotr that hit our desired boozy and bitter taste preferences. We also had a small bite to eat, the Lyonnaise Hot Dog, which was delicious French interpretation of an American classic. Still, what made the experience exceptional was the staff's incredible hospitality. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. It was the perfect way to end our vacation. Despite serious competition, Little Red Door earned its place as our favorite cocktail bar in Paris. I highly recommend checking it out if/when you're in town! read more

We've been eyeballing this spot from before we flew out to Paris. Amazing vibe with amazing staff and awesome music. Don't forget to get one of their awesome enamel pins at 1.5 €. Drink menu changes fairly frequent and finitely worth the trip. read more

Fantastic little Brit owned speakeasy with a unique twist on a drink menu. Great service with funny, attentive staff. Met some locals and American ex-pats that couldn't have been nicer. Definitely a revisit! read more

Amazing mixology bar - this is why Yelp is amazing. Thanks to Yelp, we found the Little Red Door and are richer for it. After going through a strange entrance, we were inside a perfectly dark speakeasy-esque bar of awesomeness. The place itself is small, but you wouldn't want it to be bigger. Comfortable seating scattered through, we were seated upstairs in a pseudo VIP area. Some amazing touches - you get free water when you come in, which is normal for a quality bar, but here it tasted like mineral water. Nice! And the ice used in the drinks was nearly perfectly clear. The best bars in NYC put a ton of effort into their ice to avoid cloudy "regular" ice, here they do the same. Slow-melting too, just really nice. We got a drink each - I got the Emanuelle (pretty good) she got the Chaud Ananas - that was amazing. Prices are a bit steep at 13-14 euros a drink, but well-deserved. A true destination in a slightly off the path area, this is a worthy cocktail destination. read more

Pretty hyped place. Tried two cocktails, one menu one custom and I've definitely had much better. Also, it was kinda lame that i was made to stand at the bar while everyone else had a seat. Also, super lame, that the people that work here 'hook up' all their friends. Example, there was another patron that briefly stood next to me and then one of the employees came up and asked her how many people are you meeting and then sat her down at an empty seat at the end of the bar :/ I was there first so I should've gotten the seat. Basically, go here if you want to see for yourself but I feel like this place is average at best. read more

Nicest bartenders, great ambiance, and some of the best cocktails around. Get there right when it opens to avoid waiting in too long of a line! read more

We came to Paris for vacation and to visit my sister. She's been wanting to come here. Especially after learning its ranking of top 50 bars. Omg the ranking is true. Best cocktails I think I've ever had. They were unique. The balance was perfect. The menu was incredibly unique. The service was top notch. The ambience was eclectic. We wound up trying every drink on the menu! Wow there really wasn't a favorite. All were incredible. Now we are back in the states and I see the menu has changed. Why are you so far??? We will most definitely be back when we come to Paris. Thank you for the amazing experience. We love this place!!!! read more

There was a short line when I arrived, took about 10 minutes to enter. The interior is unique and warm, the bartenders are so personable and professional. Drinks are fabulous read more

My favorite place to get drinks in Paris. Discovered this place with my husband after getting engaged on the locket bridge and they made the experience so memorable. We were greeted by a super sweet bartender who was very knowledgeable about their exquisite cocktail menu. She spoke English well and made us feel welcomed. She gave great recommendations for things to do around town, then treated us to two complimentary glasses of champagne to celebrate our engagement! My husband and I will always remember this place! We plan to visit every trip back to Paris! read more

This cozy lounge, hidden behind a small red door, combines eclectic seating in an environment inspired by la Belle Epoque with a beautiful bar. The staff was incredibly friendly, even the bouncer, and all eager to be helpful in selecting the right drinks for the evening. The drink menu itself was surprisingly small (6 drinks or so) and although we were given the option to be creative, we chose to order from the list and each had 2 drinks which were original and pretty good. All in all a good time was had and I'd come back again. Note that when you first arrive, the small red door doesn't actually open - the real door looks like a wall and is on the left. read more

Great atmosphere and crowd. The unique drink menu makes the place special. An excellent spot for people willing to try something new. We had a lot of fun. read more

Overpriced drinks. served in a small or a smaller glass. Great service. Cute speak easy. Limited drink menu, and no food. Probably won't be back, but if you're into the hipster scene this is for you. read more

This place rocks! I was originally going to Le Barav around the corner but it closes in Sunday's. I took a stroll down the street and yelp popped this on my screen. I decided to try and i am glad i did! The drinks are incredibly well made. The bartenders mix the drinks to perfection even using droppers. I've had the tequila and mezcal based drinks and both were incredible. My friend had wine and she loved it. The place is Uber-charming, non touristy but the staff is super friendly. They speak at least French, English and Spanish. I loved this place. The music is a funky and fun mix of disco, Cuban, French and South American groovy vibes mixed in with some American hip hop. One thing...though the door is red indeed, you still have to find the door to get in. You will not regret stopping by here read more

Not really getting the hype of this place or high reviews. Yes it does have a little red, and the space is beautiful. Additionally, it is bar none the coolest menu I've ever seen, reminding you of a kids book, but I won't ruin the surprise. However, the drinks just aren't that interesting sounding, lacking in total creativity of the menu. Execution is ok, but didn't need more than one drink here. read more

This place is incredible. We got lucky and got there just as seats at the bar were opening, and we were promptly seated. The cocktail menu is wordless - as in, each cocktail is described by an artistic representation of what an artist felt the drink stood for. There's a list of ingredients for those less adventurous types. The bartenders were both acrobatic and very friendly, despite how busy they were. When our bartender learned we were on our honeymoon, he gave us shots of champagne. It was a sweet gesture. Don't make the mistake of passing up on this place! read more

Lovely little bar. Cool, dark but still warm atmosphere. Heavy old leather armchairs but still modern vibe. The bartenders are truly capable and the menu is simply stunning. (Seemed to me, that they have a little crush for Perrier) Many of the house creations feature homemade tinctures and infusions, really diverse and complex. Will definitely visit them again. read more

The best part of this place is the storybook menu and bartender. Other than that, I'm convinced they make the drinks up on the fly. I also had bad luck ordering. Hated both of my drinks. My bf enjoyed the two he ordered though. *Shrugs* read more

40 minute wait for my partner and I to get in. 30 minutes to get a 15£ (terrible) drink. Tescos finest can do better.

Classy speakeasy, creative menu, intimate spot! All the recipe of impressing your date and moving past 2nd base. Menu reminiscent to a old interactive children's book which is nostalgic while you sip on your fine cocktail. In a interesting and vibrant neighborhood it's almost easy to miss. But inside while playing cool jazz I was able to gain knowledge from world renowned bar tenders while hours seemingly become minutes. Another top 50 bar worth the trek read more

So fun!!! Loved trying to find this place and the drinks were so creative and good!!! Went here while on vacation and would definitely go again and would recommend. Also, close to a lot of food places so we walked down the street to a very highly rated yelp falafel place that was so good. A fun night! read more

This place has the best cocktails in the best setting! Each cocktails is represented by a piece of art, which are numbered in the menu.
