4 Best Bars in Around the Eiffel Tower, Paris

Untamed revelry isn’t this restrained neighborhood's forte—cocktails are more its speed. At this cozy, unpretentious outpost tucked away on a small street between the Seine and Invalides, you’ll find a menu of 20 well-priced (for this neighborhood) cocktails that check all the boxes for a fine elixir, along with a chic, welcoming atmosphere in which to enjoy them. It’s open early enough for an apéro before dinner and late enough that you can come for an after-dinner digestif (there are also small bites to enjoy with your drinks). The sidewalk seating in warm weather is a bonus.

The popularity of this intimate restaurant–cocktail bar could be due to the upscale neighborhood's distinct lack of nightlife, but there's no denying its dusky allure. At cocktail hour, the bar attracts a mix of businesspeople and chic locals; at night, good music, tasty food, and plentiful drinks animate the crowd.

Tucked among the cafés on the Rue Cler, this all-purpose bistro-cum–cocktail bar's all-day and night hours (it's open until 2 am), welcoming atmosphere, and tasty cocktail concoctions make it an ideal option in a neighborhood decidedly short on late-night watering spots.

A chic cocktail bar steps from the Champ de Mars is a rare find indeed, but this one is steeped in a cosmopolitan speakeasy mystique, with wood paneling and 1920s touches (leather chairs, gramophone, old Underwood typewriter) evoking the New York of its namesake. A covered sidewalk terrace and a dance floor in the cellar add to the clubby fun, along with a small menu of tasty morsels and some very good cocktails.
