"Castor Club is unmarked, but you’ll recognize the cocktail bar tucked on a side street in Saint-Germain-des-Prés by the large wooden doors and bouncer standing out front. Once inside, you’ll feel like you’re in a country cabin or hunting lodge. The walls and ceilings are covered in wood, country music usually plays, and high velvet booths built into the walls add a cozy feel, whether you’re here for after-work drinks or date night. On weekends, the cavernous downstairs sometimes doubles as a dance floor with country dominating the playlist, so come to show off your best two-step, and drink creative cocktails, like the spicy Aye Aye Captain Cap with gin, chili, and blueberry." - tanisha townsend
