Art Deco bar with live jazz, gourmet nibbles, and cocktails
"Bar Joséphine, located inside the Hotel Lutetia, is for the get-dressed-up date night, birthday, or special Left Bank celebration. It’s the romantic version of Paris often depicted in movies, with its high ceilings and frescos, which is nice as there aren’t many places with that “typical Paris feel” anymore. Cozy up to your date on the cushioned banquettes or get comfortable in the brown leather chairs with the piano view—there’s live music Thursday-Sunday (and sometimes Tuesday and Wednesday). The cocktails match the setting with beautiful glassware and cocktail garnishes, and you should, too—no T-shirts and jeans." - tanisha townsend

"Set on the Left Bank, between Le Bon Marché and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Lutetia has had an eventful life. Opened in 1910, the hotel welcomed a host of celebrities including Picasso, André Gide and General de Gaulle, before being requisitioned by the Nazis during the Second World War. Refurbished by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte in 2018, the elegant Bar Joséphine has retained its Art Deco look and its Années Folles spirit. The menu is inspired by the personality and life of Joséphine Baker, who lived in the hotel with her children. You can try J'ai Deux Amours – vodka served with smoked essence and clarified mango – or You're Driving Me Crazy – gin with apricot, plum vinegar, chamomile and Chartreuse." - The MICHELIN Guide
