The 22 Best Bars In Paris

"Danico isn’t quite a speakeasy, but it’s a bit hidden inside the Italian restaurant Daroco, and accessible through the historic covered Galerie Vivienne mall. The space was formerly a Jean Paul Gaultier store and the bartenders wear striped shirts as a nod to that, and, yes, it’s all really French. The menu of 12 cocktails changes every few months and is centered around a specific country and its spirits, like sake and whisky from Japan. Low music plays in the background, which adds a sophisticated ambiance for the couples and pre-opera drinkers at the tables, and out-of-towners sitting around the bar." - tanisha townsend

The 24 Best Bars in Paris

"Nico de Soto is something of a cocktail legend: After getting his start with the Experimental Cocktail Group (and winning various awards, including Most Influential Bartender at Paris's Cocktail & Spirits show in 2014), he opened his own joint in New York, called Mace. Danico is his first piloted project back on his home turf and it's a definite winner. His newly-launched menu format, which will change every six months, is travel-minded and will reflect a specific region of the world. First up? Indonesia, with cocktails such as the "Mad Dog" featuring mezcal, Kaffir lime, and pink guava juice, and the "Beji Griya," named after a Balinese temple and waterfall, with curry leaf-infused vodka." - Sara Lieberman

A fantastic cocktail bar tucked inside what also seems to be a beautiful restaurant. The cocktail menu is themed around a country that the head bartender has visited and been inspired by—in our case, it was Peru. Most of the drinks we tried were excellent, with creative and thoughtful flavor profiles. The staff were incredibly warm and even shared past editions of the menu, which made it clear that each visit offers a completely different experience. Definitely a place I’m looking forward to returning to.

Danico is a cozy cocktail bar behind a restaurant. The service was incredible. They were very attentive about explaining the drinks and flavors to us. Entry is through the restaurant, which felt wrong to us as we entered when the restaurant wasn’t open but the bar was, and they happily guided us back to the bar.

The drinks and atmosphere at Danico were great! We tasted the chica morada, macchu pichu and others. It was a short wait before we were able to get seated but not terrible! Would highly recommend. NOTE - we went earlier today and left a bag with some soccer shirts under the chairs at one of the bar stools. If you see them, please contact us so we can find a way to get them back!! Thank you.

Went for dinner with family and friends. Limited food menu but good enough and quite tasty. Pizza is veramente Italiano and the cabillaud is quite juicy and flaky. Service was quite attentive and delivered with a smile. But the icing on the cake is the bar, once you get passed the annoying manager. Large and curated collection with knowledgeable bartenders. Interesting rums

We had two fantastic cocktails and a Neopolitan pizza from their restaurant Daroco next door. Every 6 months they change the menu to reflect their influences from their travels. This menu was inspired by Andean ingredients from their visit to Peru. Great experience.

Service- fantastic, friendly, quick Food- fresh, delicious and large portions Ambience- beautiful, well designed, buzzing with excitement but not overly loud. The team looked like they love working there and it came through in their service. The drink was delicious, slightly spirit forward but not overpowering the flavour of the ingredients. I got the Rosa pizza and you can tell the food was made with quality ingredients by the flavour and the texture. My server brought a spicy sauce, I think it was a spicy olive oil, simply divine. I’d have bought a bottle of it if they sold it.

The best cocktails we experienced in Paris. Not only were they delicious, they were unlike any we have had before. The bar is very modern with comfortable seating. We arrived as they opened so we were able to be seated right away.

Definitely one of our favourite bars in Paris with its bold flavours. Signature menu is based on countries and current one is Peru. Food at Italian restaurant Daroco attached to it is very good too.

This is one of the 3 bars in Paris currently on the Worlds Top 50 bars list - and would say this is probably the best of the 3. The cocktail menu is highly creative - apparently they switch up the menu every 3 months focusing on a different country; as of this review, the current theme is India (think lassi, chai, spices, etc...). The 3 drinks I had were all outstanding. Service is top rate - and has swanky posh decor. You can sit at the bar and interact with the staff, or sit at the small tables and just get lost in the great vibe here. Not to be missed if in Paris. (Tip - you have to enter thru the neighboring restaurant to access the bar)

Very intimate speakeasy. Just being walked back there you feel like a VIP. Huuuuuuuuuge diverse and creative rotating menu based on a region of the world. This one was India and there was butter chicken (a real drink) jasmine, cardamom, saffron. The menu is a book and each page a different drink with and illustration of India. Very experienced and friendly bartenders!

Quiet, pretty ambiance. Service was good...made good recs based on what we were looking for. Drinks were complex but some seemed premixed.

Want to give more than 5 stars. Found this from the Top best bars list. Come when you are in Paris, you won't regret it! Located behind pizza palace Daroco Bourse, Danico is housed in the former Jean Paul Gaultier flagship store. Its barmen's nautical striped shirts are a fitting homage to the fashion designer's signature design. Vibrant vibes abound in the high-ceilinged space with a mid-century throw back: the wallpaper, velvet furnishings and a herringbone marble bar, while the soundtrack comprises upbeat EDM tracks. The 12-cocktail menu is not for the faint-hearted: ' The "Cafe Moutarde Banana" is a twist to a standard expresso martini with banana infused water to give a refreshing sweetness yet not overpowering. 'La Myrtille', a turbo-charged kir royale, contains Pierre Ferrand cognac fat-washed with hazelnut butter and infused with tonka beans.

Danico is an enchanting oasis of mixology mastery. From the moment I stepped inside, the warm and intimate ambiance embraced me. The talented bartenders effortlessly crafted innovative cocktails that tantalized my taste buds. Each sip was a symphony of flavors, beautifully balanced and presented with artistic flair. The attention to detail in both the drinks and the service was impeccable and the cozy yet stylish decor added to the overall charm of the place!

Nice bar, good cocktails, service below average. Not greeted, had to wait for a menu, they took the menu away after we ordered claiming they were limited. After 6 cocktails sitting at the bar, not one of the bartenders even talked to us. If you are with a group and don't mind being ignored but like good cocktails, then I would go. Little Red Door was hands down the best bar we visited in Paris this time.

It s obvious why this is one of the top bars in the World. Superb service in a warm and cozy ambiance. A very limited food menu available only after 7pm. Who cares..? The drinks are more than enough.

This place is like a speakeasy, you have to weave your way through a restaurant to get to the bar, but it's totally worth it. Don't try to look for the bar, just follow your map, get to the restaurant, enter and let the host or hostess know that you came for the bar. Once there, find a table and sit down. It may take more than several minutes but someone will bring you a drink menu and take your order. It is a weird concept for us Americans because we like things to happen quickly but just remind ourselves that we're on vacation and we need to just sit down! I was about to take pictures of their cocktail menu but since they change their menu frequently, there is no need to do so. Drinks are deliciously and dangerously good. It is difficult to narrow down what to order but each drink comes with its own descriptions and they are fairly accurate. Cool and chill vibes. Bartender is super nice. Ignore my pics, I was trying to make a point of places that I came, I saw, I loved.

A must try after you've eaten at the restarant in front Ofcourse. This spot is located all the way in the back of Daroco restarant. It kind of gives me speakeasy vibes and you will love it as much as I did. Small and cozy and the drinks are perfect. I loved the names of the drinks and the drink menu art was very creative.

What a great find! We wanted to grab cocktails before dinner and were in the mood to go somewhere that would feel like home cause we had been away for so long. This place hit the spot! Casual yet trendy with delicious, well-made fun cocktails. My drink had sprinkles in it! The decor is so pretty, and the bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. Get there early cause this place got packed! Plus you can totally make a whole night of this since it is in the back of a pizza place that looked delicious (but was also packed).

VERY IMPORTANT LOCATION NOTE: Danico is located INSIDE of the highly rated pizza joint, DAROCO. You will find the cocktail bar by entering the restaurant and then going all the way to othe back. I wish the reviews had included this note earlier since we did end up wandering around the vicinity for 20 minutes trying to find signage with "Danico" ha! Worth the extra walking to work off the soon to be consumed carbs and cocktails that night.... You MUST bring your tushy to this cocktail bar. Holy bajeezes. The bar and restaurant were both poppin' on a Friday night. My friend found Danico through Yelp of course and decided to come here for drinks before dinner. Unfortunately, but not really, we ended up staying here for dinner and never made it to our next destination spot ha! The ambiance is just too gorgoues and is perfectly lit and the bartenders here are PHENOMENAL and are super innovative with making new drinks year long round. The menu changes time to time and all the drinks are equally fabulous and made with the finesse of a professional that goes beyond just years of practicing. I swear the drinks were one of the BEST I've ever had. There must be some magic spell and unicorns in the back kitchen making a special potion to add to each drink. I ordered the #2 "I Quit" which was a mezcal, sherry, agave & habanero drink. This would probably blow a man's mind out of the world, but unfortunately, the drink was way too manly and strong for me (tasted more like bourbon/cognac) so I had to quit on this drink half way. BUT it was good for what it's worth. I just don't know how to order drinks keke So onto drink dos! I got the #1 "Hao Neeo Mamuang" after much consultation with the server (Gailee- who was the nicest French person we've ever met!), who claimed that this was a refreshing "girly" drink. OMG. This was so so so so bomb. Think of a refreshing, blooming flower, with a serene breeze and aqua blue water in the background when youd rink this. It was so dang good. And there were chia seeds in it I LOVE CHIA SEEDS! Healthy in oatmeal and in a cocktail! My friend got the Pacman too which was soooo sooo gooddddd. I was so jealous of her drink while I was sipping on my "I Quit" thinking why I didn't pick the cute names/pictured drinks instead. We also ordered the Focaccia bread which was so utterly satisfying. We devoured the fluffy cheesy warm bread and unfortuntaely lost our appetite for dinner during normal dining hours (don't worry we made it up with ubereats at the hotel). Such a special place for cocktails. I would recommend eating pizza at Daroco since it smelled amazing and then heading over to the back for some good night drinks. What a great find! OUI OUI!

Wow!! I constantly do research and go to cocktail bars all over paris, and in Europe and NYC and Canada. This cocktail bar is insane. It is SO good. I ordered the chicarron c'est point carré(tequila and mezcal) it was probably one of the best drinks over ever had. My boyfriend ordered the peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat, I don't even like cognac and his drink was incredible. We came on Sunday night after having dinner at Daroco up front, and hesitated going home after dinner. I'm glad we decided to come to the bar. This is now one of my favorite bars in Paris. Can't wait to come back and try their other drinks. You cannot miss this place!!

A cocktail of the most elegant and professional kind. The staff mixes magical cocktails that speak for themselves and have the understated attitude that makes you the star of the night. While the rooms exhibit superbly contemporary elegance, the cocktails still stole the show, just the way it was supposed to be.
