The Ritz's wood-paneled cocktail room — bookless reservations and a serious dry martini
Mahogany expat bar from 1911 — birthplace of the Bloody Mary, between Opéra and the Place Vendôme
Harry's was assembled in Paris from a dismantled Manhattan saloon and reopened on rue Daunou in 1911, and the room has barely been touched since: dark wood, brass rail, college pennants from a century of expat patronage. The Bloody Mary was invented here in 1921, the Sidecar gets contested credit, and the basement piano bar still has a player most evenings. It is not the most refined cocktail in Paris — Hemingway and Bar 1802 win on craft — but it is the most atmospheric pre-dinner stop on the Saint-Honoré axis and walk-in friendly when the Ritz queue is impossible.
Bloody Mary at the bar, then dinner two streets away. The piano basement gets going after 22:00.
