Little Red Door

Very cool concept bar. When we came in, the side door was opened which didn’t help the illusion of the speakeasy. It was a cozy and intimate space. They give a small drink to sip on while you’re reviewing the menu. The menu is well thought out with their twist of traditional cocktails on one side, and then a unique adjacent drink on the opporsite page. Menu offers lots of info like ABV, calories, company sustainability, flavors etc- it was cool to see how thought out it all was! Our bar tender even let me try one of their cocktails before I ordered since it had a pea flavor to it. The bartenders have business cards with recommendations for the city of Paris which was creative and thoughtful. Drinks are 18€ each which is typical for this type of experience, but on the more expensive end.

I was pretty hyped to go to this place as it is in the list of the best 50 bars. Unfortunately the hype went down in about 25 minutes which was the time it took for someone to come to take our order. I had a their specialty old fashioned which was pretty good. My girlfriend and her friend got 2 margaritas with salt. The salt was some table salt which is not really recommended for cocktails usually. Hope you have a better experience when you are going.

Me and my partner came in here last Saturday and had the most amazing experience. The waiters talked us through all the cocktails and they were some of the most amazing drinks we’ve had. We then moved to the bar and got chatting to one of the bartenders (I believe Axel) and he was so kind and made me a special drink on request. I highly recommend coming here and was only sad that we came on our last night as we would have happily come every night.

Top 59. on the World. Hmmm, the atmosphere and service is very good by itself, but I was little bit disappointed by the drinks. Maybe I was just unlucky with the drinks rotation in current menu but I tried 4 cocktails and all of them were okay. By the creativity and looks i can’t tell anything bad but the taste of the drinks were nothing mind blowing. I like the design of the menu, you can find very creative elements in there.

Place had great reviews side-by-side to try it out such a cool and hidden away speakeasy. Great Mixology bar. Axel made a couple of drinks, especially for me. A twist on the Hemmingway champagne or death in the afternoon was yummy, I preferred it over the original which he made me as well. His had a little tequila and a couple dashes of other things that cut the absinthe. He also made me a drink, which I’ll say is a take on a Manhattan bitters bourbon had a little aged rum, and some walnut liqueur and some of their house made cherries, which are spectacular by the way. This place is definitely worth the side trip to and as with any place that has great mixologist you should ask them to make you something special and not go off the menu !!

A speakeasy bar where you’ll get excited just by finding the red door—only to realize the real challenge is figuring out how to open it… or even find a doorbell. I won’t spoil the surprise, but here’s a little hint: the entrance isn’t through the red door. Look around, stay curious. You won’t find cocktails like these anywhere else—farm-to-glass magic at its finest. Not just a bar, but a whole experience.

Really cool concept - Little Red Door takes classic cocktails and puts a twist on them using only French ingredients. Menu is beautiful and descriptive - everything from sweetness and acidity level to their rating of environmental impact. Interior is beautiful. Won’t say that it’s my favorite cocktail place in Paris by any means, but definitely a memorable experience nonetheless.

Such an incredible place to sit and chat whether it be with friends or solo with the bartenders. Drinks are really well balanced and absolutely delicious. I made a reservation for when they opened, and ordered 2 cocktails while I was there. The first was on the menu and the second I told them my favorite cocktail and they made me a twisted version. I would love to go back!

I am from the USA visiting Paris for thr first time ever. Before this place French people are generally rude to people who speak English only. This place is an exception to the mostly true stereotype. It's a small place so we had to wait outside for a table but the host gave us an umbrella to stay dry while we did. When we first got seated we got introduced by a friendly gentlemen who gave the whole.run down on the menu and asked if we had any questions. From then on out it seemed like we were at a 5 star restaurant the way we were getting served and attended too. Better than any bar in California anyways. Highly recommend for a hospitable and friendly environment !

decent cocktails, great service, cool spot. Great music, they definitely cater to tourists, nice welcome "cocktail" when you first sit down. Would return

Pretty cool joint. Felt like I was in America again. NYC hip hop vibes. Service is decent - we weren't forgotten about despite the busy atmosphere. We didn't have any food but the cocktails were great. I don't typically drink cocktails but we were all pretty impressed. I got the drink with the whistle pig base, I forget the name.

#6 bar in the world but I was underwhelmed. Lined up for around 35 minutes before getting in. Yesterday was the first day they switched to their fall drinks. Inside is extremely cozy and they also gave us each a welcome drink that was some plum cognac. We tried 4 different cocktails. I think this is more so a preference issue, but their fall drinks are a little too strong / dark for my liking. They use a lot of whiskey and cognac as base, overpowering the fruit or vegetable flavors. I was really looking forward to trying the Apple cocktail, so maybe I'll revisit when Summer comes.

This is on the best bars list, but the drinks didn't seem that special. They were very dry and my sister couldn't finish hers. Maybe it was the two we ordered but other bars in the area were much better.

Oh my goodness this spot was so fabulous we went twice on our visit! I love a good bar, and there's nothing like cozying up with a cocktail and chatting with the bartenders. My sister and I went on our first night and last night in Paris and we loved it. First of all, this spot was named 5th on the 50 best bars in the world list and you can see why. The attention to detail, the care in making their own spirits, the ambiance, it's just fab. It reminded me a lot of my favorite bar in Miami - Jaguar Sun- where people make you feel at home and you can stay for hours without noticing. Both times we went we closed down the bar. The team- Luca, Yen, Cameron, and doorman Lawrence are so interesting and friendly. We tried so many different drinks. Their specialty cocktails are a must try since they make their own spirits for those. And then of course they can make you whatever you'd like. I of course had a dirty martini and Negroni as part of my little red door journey and they were top notch. The place is really tiny, and gets packed so drinks do take a minute but the vibes are so nice to me it wasn't a bother at all. If you're in Paris and you love cocktails, visit this spot.

Little red door was such a nice and intimate vibe. The drinks were fun and unique (and tasted good), the service was solid. All the bartenders were super knowledgeable and friendly. Deff a nice cocktail spot to try when in the area!

What a lovely bar! My first time in Paris and I knew I wanted to visit Little Red Door after seeing they were on the 50 Best Bars list in 2023 and it certainly lived up to the hype. The staff were SO friendly and made our experience that much more enjoyable. The menu is creative and each cocktail was perfectly crafted. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting and looking for a good craft cocktail. Try to make a reservation, though! We got there around 4pm on a Friday and it was pretty packed.

Gorgeous and so cool. Had to wait in line for 15 min but really really enjoyed my cocktail! 18€ for an amazing drink and great service

Pretty cool spot! They had me at the start by sitting us in a table and giving us a house drink taste right from the jump. Service was amazing and we had a 2 waiters taking care of us. Nice low key spot to have a drink and get something to snack on.

My favorite cocktail bar in Paris. We walked in at a little after 5:00 on a weekday with no issues, although the space is very small. The staff are so nice and greet you with a welcome shot. We ended up staying for three rounds of drinks we loved it so much. The spagliato spagliato was the overall favorite drink of the night, but I personally loved their standard Negroni, which has a hint of jasmine in it. The cherry sherry is also a must try for anyone that likes Manhattans. I can't wait to come back when I'm next in Paris!

The charcuterie and cheeses were generous, beautiful servings with these fabulous breadsticks, wonderful vibe and lighting, and just a very friendly tuck in for happy hour.

What a great little space and concept. I love that they support local farmers and bring their hard work to life by highlighting ingredients in drinks. That's what makes this place so unique! The service was great. We were seated near the bar and our server took time to check on us throughout our time there. The menu is broken down my ingredient and each ingredient comes with a story. My favorite drink was hands down the walnut wine cocktail (not featured in the picture).

My friend Ava B. lives in the Marais, and when I visited her last month, she pointed out this cute speakeasy by her apartment and lightly suggested we go for a drink. I'm always down for a cocktail, so I went with her, figuring it'd be nice to check out the cool neighborhood bar. As it turned out, she vastly undersold Little Red Door, which is #6 on the list of World's 50 Best Bars. We showed up around midnight on a Saturday (or Sunday, if you want to be technical about it), and while there was no line, the place was at capacity, and we waited like ten or fifteen minutes to get in. It was cold out there in the dead of winter, but the bar was well worth the wait. The space was cozy and attractive, and we got a comfortable spot all the way inside, with seats up against a wooden counter. Service was great. We stayed for a couple rounds and closed the place out, a little before 2AM. The cocktails were superb. Little Red Door bills itself as a "farm to glass" bar, and it really earns that description. The drinks all use house spirits made with ingredients from local farms. I've been to a lot of bars and had a lot of cocktails, but every one I had here felt completely unique. They cost €18 apiece, which seemed very reasonable for what we got. My favorite of the bunch might have been the Walnut, just because it tasted nothing like any other cocktail I've ever had. It was a richly flavorful drink made with LRD green walnut wine and Sab's Marc de Bourgogne, garnished with a candied walnut over a big cube of ice. I also loved the Olive, a refreshing combination of LRD olive spirit, Baldoria dry umami vermouth, and nettle soda, with a black olive cracker on top. Ava got the Plum and the Citrus, and those were both excellent, too. The Plum mixed LRD plum amaro with Audemus plum kernel fractal and Capreolus dansom eau de vie. The Citrus was made with LRD key lime liqueur, Baldoria dry vermouth, Stockholm Branneri aquavit, and Michel Huard fleur de pommier. The menu changes seasonally, so if you're in town anytime soon, I'd recommend going right now and getting every one of these drinks. I'm guessing you can't go wrong, though, with any of Little Red Door's cocktails. It's a spectacular bar, and I plan to go back whenever I find myself in Paris.

There aren't a ton of cocktail bars in Paris, although that seems to be changing as places like Little Red Door usher in the craft cocktail movement. My boyfriend and I walked in here at around 9:45 PM on a weeknight and got bar seats right away. The shtick here is "farm to glass," where drinks are built around key ingredients from local producers. Whether you care about that whole thing or not, the drinks are objectively great. I tried: + Holy basil + Melon + Plum + Pumpkin The holy basil was my favorite, followed by the pumpkin. Really cool and unique flavor profiles all around, and the bartenders were very personable and helpful. Just expect it to be filled with tourists due to its best bars list ranking. Fans of NYC's Double Chicken Please or Thyme Bar will love this place!

Wow, wow, wow. When planning our trip to France, we knew that Little Red Door had to make the list. We booked one of their signature cocktail menu tastings for late afternoon before dinner, and loved every second of it. As advertised, the door is easy to miss! Once inside, I could not believe the amazing level of service we received. Every server took the time to individually come over and chat with us, explain the cocktails, and just hang out. I have never seen service like this in my life - we left feeling like we really KNEW their entire team. All of the cocktails were so creative and delicious. They think outside of the box here and take advantage of the resources that are available in their local area. I will never stop talking about our experience at Little Red Door. Please make the stop if you are in the area!

tomato + sake is an unhinged combo and I respect it cool experience, great atmosphere but drinks were just okay. Hard to stomach €20+ per drink but this *is* Paris so keep that in mind

Overrated, expensive, horrible drinks. Not sure what they used to rank this as top 5 bar menu in the world! The service was good but some things were off. I loved the idea of sustainable drinks but they tasted horrible. The Melon (seriously this is how they name their cocktails) was too sweet. The plum and basil drink were medicinal in flavor. ( I've tried Chinese herbal medicine and it tasted like that! Horrible!) This is sad because we know other people who went back in 2018 and they said the menu was completely different and the drinks were amazing back then. Not sure why they changed their concept. Not worth checking out.

Rated #5 of the 50 best bars in the world, we knew we had to check this place out on our layover in Paris! We hit the first day at their pop up location in Pigalle (Tuesday, Feb 21). Thank goodness it was already updated on Uber cuz we otherwise would have gone to their old location! This pop up will be until March, while the original location is being renovated. We showed up and didn't have a reservation, but there wasn't a line and we got in immediately! I guess you'd consider this their soft opening, as they were only offering a prix fixe flight of 5 cocktails for €55/pp. We were disappointed that the drinks were already pre-mixed, but were told they were going to try and add some a la carte drinks to the menu in the near future. I loved the welcome drink with shiso and sake. My bf really enjoyed the digestive at the end which was a dairy cream fat washed based drink. Really nice mouthfeel! Alex was our bartender and she was so nice and knowledgeable! We loved how their ingredients are all locally sourced within France. The staff knew so much about where each ingredient came from and what techniques they used to concoct the cocktail. Last seating at 9:30pm, as they close at 11pm (weekdays). We would love to come back when their usual location has reopens and try some more drinks!

Interesting drinks, I order one that had a long rectangular ice cube that probably made it seem like there was more of the drink than I thought. It's was all very creative and the ambiance was soothing

I tried several cocktails this night. All were fantasticly balanced. You have to be into cocktails to truly appreciate this Farm to Table approach from these guys. I was definitely indecisive when I got here so I just let them pick what ever they thought I should try. My friends had already been here drinking for a while and had tried several different cocktails already. I had the Apple and the said it was their favorite. It truly was delicious and refreshing. The ambiance is nice and cozy. Darkly lit room makes the experience feel intimate. I definitely recommend coming here to try some of their cocktails. Oh, and ask to hear the story of the Apple cocktail. Spoiler alert, that farmers neighbor is a terrible person.

The iconic little red door on the outside of the building is just for show. It doesn't open, instead come inside through the hidden door on the left of the little red door. Just don't push the door too hard, as you may hit the doorman and that's not a great way to start. If you don't make a reservation, you'll end up waiting outside especially at peak times. I made a reservation for a cocktail tasting online through their website and paid a little bit extra to sit at the bar. When booking online you'll end up paying in advance and can add gratuity. I thought this was odd at first. Like why would I want to tip in advance when I don't know how the service is going to go. But in hindsight, it was a great idea because I didn't need to worry about paying or tipping while there. Each of the cocktails I tried built upon the previous one. A few of the cocktails also came with little snacks. I really liked each of the five cocktails I tasted. I'm not sure I would have tried all the cocktails I did on my own, which is why I recommend the tasting option. It allows you to get outside of your comfort zone. I highly recommend getting a bar seat if you're solo traveling or with one other person. There aren't many seats at the bar, which makes it feel like you're sitting with friends. The bartenders are amazing too and very chatty. I loved talking to them about their favorite places in the city along with where they source ingredients for each cocktail. My only complaint is about the blue bar chairs. They are big, which is great, but also very tall and awkward to get into, especially for short people.

Cool place, good people, good drinks ... was recommended by my brother who was recommended by his friend while in Paris.

Glad we got there right as they opened because within the hour the place was booming and no sitting spots left. Made friends with the group sharing our table. This spot is cute and intimate. The drinks and their menu are very unique and border on intimidating with their unusual ingredients but most of them are very good. They also made a point to let us know they could make any other drink we ask for, however upon asking for a fairly common classic our waiter had no idea what it was so we stuck with the small menu offering.

We found this spot on 50 of the worlds best bar and it was such a nice bar! We waited in the line outside for ~30 minutes or so. Once in, the ambiance is darkly lit , giving a nice vibe. The drink menu is like a book with all of the ingredients sourcing. The drink was so good! Highly recommend.

Absolutely exceptional. Went for their NYE prix fixe and everything was fantastic. The cocktails were unbelievably well balanced, made with interesting and uncommon ingredients, bartenders were really nice and knowledgeable, the pacing was perfect, and vibes were great. They also offered some nice snacks alongside. Nice time all around and perfect way to ring in the new year.

Awesome cocktails in great, albeit compact menu. We did. It get a reservation and found that an event of sorts was taking place, limiting the cocktail menu to four options. All of the drinks were fabulous. The whimsical combinations all sounded interesting and were certainly not components I would assemble together on my own. But we tried each of the four drinks and they were amazing. The Nude Beet was the best but they were all great. Air conditioning is a privilege and not a right in Paris, and there's none here. After about ten minutes you get used to it and the drinks cool you down!

- excellent service - staff get to know you personally, ask questions, try to make friends, which is unique, given that the majority of people here are tourists - drink progression goes from weak to strong; ends with whiskey/cognac and a punch - great pre-fixe tasting with 5 cocktails (more like 2.5 cocktails since most are 1/2 cocktails) and a few bites in between for just 55 euroes - ordered cocktails after which were delicious - they asked if you'd like to tip on top of the drinks; we did, but definitely thought tip is included in the drinks Overall, solid experience and fun bar. Lots of foreigners, good English speakers, and a unique set of drinks I haven't tasted elsewhere with a storyline to it.

I'm SO glad we discovered this place. The main appeal was that it is open earlier than some of the other cocktail bars in the area which was convenient for our impatience. It is also ideally located in the vicinity of the marais district which you should probably be checking out regardless. It can be hard to find as it is, as its name suggests, just a little red door without signage. The queue of people outside might be helpful for locating the entrance. We only had to wait a few minutes around 6pm but the place was completely packed. The place is dimly lit with almost a speakeasy vibe. The bartenders were doing impressive shit like pouring from a glass at least 3 feet above the receiving glass. The menu was arranged by ingredient, each drink representing one of many ingredients including rhubarb, carrot, raspberry, etc. It's definitely an unusual concept but I like a little variety in my life. I was intrigued by the olive drink so ordered that to start. GF started with saffron which was more of a generous shot than a cocktail. Both were not only aesthetically pleasing but enjoyable from a taste and intoxicating standpoint. I heard some people behind us raving about the carrot so I elected to order that for my second drink. GF ordered the walnut which was INCREDIBLE. It was definitely one of the better drinks I've had recently. The carrot, not surprising when listening to the advice of strangers, wasn't great but don't think for a second we let a drop go to waste. Most of the drinks were very good and the space was a very cool place to blow a few hours before dinner.

This was a perfect spot for a birthday drink! We showed up around 5:00 so only had to wait a few minutes- but it would have been worth it to wait even longer. Drinks are at a great price point but are well worth the bar's many accolades. The chamomile and yuzu were our favorites! Bar staff was super helpful and even gave us free drinks when they heard it was my birthday!

Great cocktail spot. Gets busy quickly. Inventive creations, cool atmosphere, efficient service. Go-to place for cocktails in Le Marais.

We heard of this place because it was on the top 50 bars in the world. We knew that it would be tough to get in so we got there right at 4 when it opened. Service was very nice, but you can definitely tell the target audience- not a ton of French people inside. The main thing here is that each drink has one "Theme" that the rest of the drink is based off. My wife had the citrus, which was good, and then I had the "rice", which was very unique and even had a fermented rice milk as the base. I also had the Walnut, which was almost like a fortified walnut wine, very tasty. This place is unique, but is it a top 50 bar in the world? You'll have to figure that out on your own.

Little Red Door in Paris, a world top 50 cocktail bar, impressed me with its friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and farm-to-table approach. The well-crafted, beautifully presented cocktails were simply delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here.

This is up there for the best cocktail bar I've ever been to, and I do love my Manhattan cocktail bars when I'm home in NYC. It's a really small place and they don't cramp people in uncomfortably, so prepare for a weight after 8pm, even on weeknights. I think we waited an hour at 10pm on a Tuesday night? That said, it was worth the wait - great service, not crowded as aforementioned, and just fantastic and interesting cocktails. We tried virtually every one of their unique cocktails in their menu book, and loved every one, a couple are up for my favorite cocktail ever. If you love interesting and unique cocktails, a cozy atmosphere, great bartenders...and can deal with standing outside for a while...I highly recommend Little Red Door. Pro Tip: Later in the week we were walking by right as they were opening, and were able to get in for an early happy hour without waiting a single minute.

This was an interesting find, and an even more compelling experience. Upon arriving, you will notice a Parisian alley way with what seems to be nothing around. A long line of people waiting for the privilege of entering through a little red door with a man in front. Luckily for us, the line was not too long and we were a party of two, so this line didn't take over 15 minutes. Larger parties were still waiting. The man in the front was very nice and understanding of everyone and made sure there was a proper area for each group. You enter a dark, yet small two story bar where most are seated and mingling with their parties. The bar is a bit crammed, but it's not too overwhelming. Their cocktail menu is extremely thought out and unique. If you enjoy a mixology bar, this place is definitely for you. The best part is they use ingredients from local farms and explain how they came about creating each specific cocktail. I know some of you are thinking, "who cares! I just want a delicious cocktail!" well, you will most certainly get that, but it's pretty rad knowing how that cocktail was sourced and imagined. This is what makes them so different and lands them on the top 50 bars list!

I wish I could give 6 stars. I found this spot a couple of years ago and I was finally able to check it out! We showed up around 7pm and there was a little line out front. We were told 15 minutes and they weren't wrong. They were SO accommodating in English and just wanted you to have the best experience. We just so happened to pop in on a special event featuring a Rome bartender so we actually got 2 menus to choose from. No complaints here! I completely expected to grab one drink and move on. My husband liked it so much we stuck around. Every single cocktail was amazing. Yes, the price is sort of high (depends where you come from), but they were worth every penny! From their regular menu I got the Lavender, Crème, and the Black Walnut. Black Walnut one hands-down with the crème a close second.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this bar. Even the wait one time was enjoyable, the door man served us hot tea to keep us warm while we waited for a table. Great spot with whimsical and creatively concocted cocktails. Dimly lit, cozy, romantic, and just a spot you can get lost in the night in all the best ways.

Very cool spot. Be ready for some different types of cocktails than you've ever had. We did the cocktail tasting and booked it in advance. Everyone here is very friendly, great service.

This has got to be the best bar I've been to in a long while. The last time I felt good about a bar was about 5 years ago at The Nomad in NYC. You're welcomed by this bright red door that's so inviting. Once you enter, the lights are low with a dark speakeasy setting. The bartenders are super friendly and helpful with giving explanations about their menu. Their menu is the best I've ever seen. It's practically a picture book with quotes. You either choose the drink based on it's ingredient list OR you choose the picture on the right with a subtle quote on life and mood. It's how you fee which is personal. I chose a cocktail that was refreshing. It had white Japanese tea, Japanese whiskey, and a sour note topped with a bright flower. My fiancée had a fruity cocktail with champagne floral notes and also topped with a flower. The drinks were the best! The Little Red Door is the best cocktail bar I've visited for 2020 so far. It's definitely worth the wait and a must visit when touring Paris.

Amazing drinks and atmosphere. It's great to go in a small group or just your partner. Bartenders were very nice and you are taken care of for sure.

Cool spot with a speakeasy feel. Drinks were interesting and the menu concept was cool. Drinks based on an ingredient. I bounced around this area checking out different bars and this was my favorite.

Great drinks, knowledgeable bartender. Just wish I could have walked through the little red door.

Such sophisticated and creative drinks. Service is top tier! One of the highlights of our trip to Paris!

#29 best bar in the world! The drinks all had a nice flavor to them. The bartender was friendly and took her time to describe the drinks when served to us. The bar was pretty full for a week day night cap. Fun and chill vibe. There's no sign on the outside of the bar. Follow your google maps to the point of destination and find the "little red door". Cheers!

This is a must go!! The service is very English friendly and the interior is air conditioned which is a plus as well as very cozy. Every drink was so unique but tasty and you can tell everything is completely homemade

Best bar we visited in Paris, great atmosphere, excellent cocktails, bartenders were in top and super attentive. I will come back every time

Low key, I think this place is a bit racist. My husband and I arrived around 11:30pm on a Friday night. There was no line. We were told they were at capacity and by the time they would have room to let us in, they would be closing. Mind you, they close at 2am. Hmmm ... really?? I typically give people the benefit of a doubt but this was a bit too obvious. We instead ended up going to a really fun bar with great cocktails and music (called, Dirty D!ck), so this was a blessing in disguise. Sharing so other Black travelers are aware.

Little red door was absolutely magical. A must in the Marais, the cocktails were creative and well executed and the staff went above and beyond. The bartenders made you feel at home- as a solo traveler I really enjoyed the experience.

I am actually pretty surprised that this made the worlds best 50 bars to honest. We went in shortly after opening to try some drinks. The lounge is really cool- great music and nice decor. It has a good vibe! It was downhill from there unfortunately. While the bartenders were nice, the drinks just weren't that good. I love a creative cocktail, but the "cool" factor can't be at the expense of taste, especially at those prices. We had four cocktails between the two of us and I genuinely would not recommend any of them. We didn't even finish the last two. There are so many cocktail bars in Paris that I might suggest a different one despite the accolades.
