Prescription Cocktail Club

There is a good and varied selection of cocktails, but they are hit or miss. The smoky mess cow and bourbon based cocktails were pretty good but the tequila ones not so much and when we asked for an off menu spicy margarita, it came back too hot and without a balance of ingredients. The atmosphere is pretty cool, reminiscent of a speakeasy and they have ground floor and upper level seating. Definitely worth a visit, but not the best cocktails around. Friendly service for sure.

Cocktails are good but may be too sweet ... Even for the ones supposed to be more acid/ bitter. When asked, it seems like some.client prefer it that way. Which I believe doesn't take the cocktails ( smoke operator) at their full level.

My fella and I ended up here one evening to shelter from the rain, and ended up staying for hours. What a wonderful bar; amazing service, fantastic ambience and delicious cocktails.

Fun little place to get a cocktail. All of the drinks that we tried were great. We also had the burrata which was delicious.

Excellent cocktail bar. Downstairs is vibrant and lively, while upstairs is more chill and lounge-y. Staff is very nice, mixologists are very skilled and the drinks are excellent. You can walk-in and they will accommodate you, they’re not annoying or pretentious about this at all

Superb cocktail bar! First off, the vibe is great. Low lights, comfy seats, nice music, and tasteful decoration. It is surprisingly spacious, with plenty of seats in its two stories. Second, the staff is fantastic. Not only are they friendly, they know their stuff and will be happy to guide you through your cocktail journey. Let them. The cocktails were delicious, surprising, and masterfully made. In particular, L'Ermite was outstanding. Without the staff's recommendation, I'd not dared order a cocktail with rhubarb and beetroot. And it was so worth it. Prices were in line with other cocktail places. Despite being a Monday night in January, there were a few people, far from empty. Perhaps over the weekend it gets more crowded. I can't wait to be back in my next visit to Paris.

Do not hope to get a table… The waiter told us to come in and stay as the wait would not be long and it was an easy weekend. After 30 minutes of wait we had no hint from the waiter, so we went upstairs. When we saw some people standing up we went in that direction and another waiter rudely asked what we were doing. We explained the situation and the waiter rudely told us that we could not just sit. We explained that we were waiting a long time and that a waitress told us we could shortly sit. The same italian bartender who told us the wait should not be long at the beginning then rudely told us that there were 40 people waiting to be sited ahead of us. Very poor service.

This was a lovely find in Paris. I came with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday. It was a very cosy and elegant vibe with well fitted decorations and elements that transported you to another time. The cocktails were well thought out with a bustle of flavour I have not yet seen in Paris. Very original and a new go to spot. The only downside was the space and the crowded atmosphere, if there was a bit more room for a larger group this would be a fantastic place. But nevertheless for a date or a smaller group I think it is an amazing place to go to and try out.

After a day of walking for hours while taking in the priceless art and history of the city, I had to fill my prescription. Unassuming, this cocktail spot in the 7th is a perfect start to a fun evening. My prescription began with an old fashioned coup tailored with "The One." Citrus vodka based classic. It was very good! The champagne foam on top was a first for me. Made the drink trendy I suppose lol. I hung out downstairs until I got hit on by a cute photographer, I'm engaged, so that's a no! But a good sign for single people. It's an environment that creates open conversations. I guess I wasn't done exploring when I ventured upstairs and sat right in between to groups of friends chatting. To my left what looked to be grad students talking about future career plans. They complimented my dress, very nice of them. And to my right a group of friends discussing the topic of dating men who like "going in the back door". One of the ladies seemed very against it but mentioned, "if he really wants to I will atleast one, but i do not prefer it." The mood is intimate and chic. Overall a great time!

Seated on the second floor with a group of 4, we had an amazing time here. We were lucky to not have to wait for a table at 9:30pm on a Friday, but it soon filled up after. Great speakeasy vibes. Drinks were cool and unique, a great place to end the evening!

We really wanted to like this pretty little place, but the wait staff was rude, and the drinks were way overpriced and "complicated". We sat at the bar and looked at the drinks menu. Boyfriend turned on the flashlight on his phone to see the menu, as it is quite dark in the bar, but was asked to turn it off by the obnoxious bartender. She said it was too "aggressive" to use actual light to see the menu. He turned it off, and I used the background light from my phone to make out the drinks on the menu. All of them were very "stylish" and expensive, with a lot of unnecessary ingredients. When a table opened up, we moved to it with our drinks. We decided to just have one cocktail, then bail to go to a friendlier, less complicated place. The waitress for our table had an attitude and was just plain rude. Never going back.

If you're looking for mixology style cocktails while in Paris, you've found your home base.

First of all, the name.... uhhhhhhh you're speaking my language here, love it! The place is SO cute and kind of tucked away, the staff is amazing the ambiance is on point, and the cocktails were EXACTLY what the doctor ordered!

This place is a hidden gem! A great find for us. Upon browsing for a bar to rest our feet and exploring spirits in a different city, we came across this little bar that has a warm vibe and fun atmosphere. We sat at the bar and began to explore their menu. A bartender addressed the menu and engaged us on the type of liquor that we fancied. He quickly made recommendations that they can create. He also encouraged us to request drinks that are not on the menu. Upon a quick discussion, I quickly realized that he's the type of bartender that you want in front of you. They enjoy the subject and likes to be exposed to new drinks and concoctions. I requested a whiskey sour and he asked if egg white is ok. Great sign when the bartender is aware of the various methods to make a drink. The locals nearby were fun to talk to and further enhance our experience. Love this bar and would love to come back again. I could imagine how busy this place would be during the weekend. Cheers

Great service and vibe in this hidden gem. Very easy to miss and end up in trendy overrated bars...

The service was top notch and the cocktails were amazing. I had the "Blue Monday" which was very tasty. Would highly recommend.

There is very little, if any signage in the front. So you may accidentally miss the place. Bartenders are fantastic here. It's a mixology kind of place and they thrive on their craft cocktails. Very cool ambience both upstairs and down. A Dj comes in late at night and plays the music so loud you can't hear yourself think. But for drinks and conversation (before the DJ), I highly recommend this place!

We had the best time at this American prohibition speakeasy themed bar. We got to sit on the second floor. The ambiance music and menu was everything I wish we could go back tonight! Highlight recommend!!!!

I came across this gem on my last trip to paris, working production night owl hours are a given, fresh off a flight straight to set the last thing i wanted to do was go out but so glad i did because it brought me here. Now im never going to be the kind of woman to wear jeans and a t so i opted for a slinky green dress and some heels. Walking in you see a variety of people, french polo and button down wearers women in fur older couples relaxing and a young crowd just vibing to the music. We sit at the bar and get to talking with the bartender Pierre, we ask for a recommendation asked us what our alcohol of preference was, i said tequila or bourbon he said he'd make us something to try and he poured us a white concoction, i cant remember the name for the life of me but god it was amazing.... and strong. So yummy we ordered two round then we switched to bourbon this smokey bourbon with bitters topped with some sort of pine. Again another yummy drink. Our interaction with the bartenders was great, super friendly happy and very very french. They shared some shots on the house with us and were just so lovely. If you find yourself in paris, do yourself a favor and walk in and have. Drink it will transport you and elevate you.

We stumbled upon this place after dinner. They had a security guy out front checking IDs. We were able to find some seats without a wait since it was a Sunday night. It's fairly dim and intimate inside, and they have an upstairs area, too. Drinks we tried - - Doctors revival: more spirit driven - Mira Puebla: mezcal based, well balanced. I liked this one the most They were nice about refilling waters. It was a pretty low key place, which was nice for hanging out with a few friends.

This is a dark, dank place with good music and interesting cocktails. It's super small so not great for groups but it forces you to talk to strangers and have a good time. I really only stayed for one drink because it got hot quick as people piled in! Worth a drink or two. Good music from a female DJ which is a novelty in Paris apparently. Not so humbly submitted, Michael C.

Sanna eats all the cucumbers, I'm sick of it. So like, you guys should check this bar out

Chug a Lug, Chug a Lug Makes me wanna holler "hidey ho!" Burns your tummy, don't ya know Chug a Lug, Chug a Lug Stopped in for a drink, it's a really nice cozy little place.

Cool vibe with expert bartenders. Full selection of alcohol, bitters, and mixers. You can sit at the bar or in cozy lounge area.

Worst customer service I've ever experienced in my life. At 7pm, we were the first clients and were seated in a loveseat (2 people seat). A group of 5 came in after us 20 mins later. There were several opportunities to seat them. Bar tender is the one who originally seated us. His colleague came over and demanded we move to another seat (this too after waiting 15 minutes for drinks). He effectively said "your problem". This was such a poor experience, I am actually writing a review that I am sincere about. There were several opportunities to seat the other group (upstairs had several tables to 5-10ppl, there were tables with stools for 5, but one of the people in the group clearly wanted the seat we had.... so in an empty bar we were demanded to move. Not cool.

This cool bar in the heart of Paris could just as easily be located in New York City. In fact, during my visit I did occasionally forget I was in Paris, but if you like finely crafted, delicious cocktails, then don't consume your liquid calories anywhere else.

What a romantic spot. This is the definition of date night! Small space with what appears to be more space upstairs ( I didn't venture up there so no idea), but it is THE perfect date night spot, girls night spot, or just chill, relax, and sip spot. Drinks are mad rather well. service is good! Definitely a go to spot for tourists as judging by accents we heard that were definitely from Texas, California, NYC, and probably Canada lol. But hey, can't go wrong...we have good taste out in North America! And leave it to awesome establishments like Rx to lure us in. Whether local or tourist, this is a pretty dope spot. I would probably use it solely for date nights but again you can make it whatever you want! Stick to the cocktails and you'll be good! Sante!

Stopped in here for a drink, and to experience what all these glowing reviews led us to believe. We were not impressed one bit. We live in New York City. We really like the speak-easy / cocktail bar scene so we frequent places similar to this one back in NYC. Prescription Cocktail Club simply does not measure up. Save your money and go somewhere else. We got two drinks each and were not even feeling the buzz. The drinks were watered down, and did not taste good. For the prices they are charging you should NOT be getting watered down drinks. It was very hot inside and they weren't running any AC - the windows were open, but still just really warm and muggy inside. The place was very dark - so dark that we needed to hold the candles to and phone flashlights to the menu to be able to read the options. Service inside was friendly and patient - we don't speak much French, and the waiter didn't miss a beat. The bouncer they have stationed outside the door was not approachable, or friendly at all. Taking a cue from the reviews here we approached and greeted him in French, but he caught on to the fact we were not locals pretty quick. He was very short and rude with us as soon as he put that together, but after an awkward minute he let us through.

A very hip, cozy cocktail club with fantastic drinks. My friends and I sat in a little private area upstairs that was lovely and shared two of their big cocktails, both of which were so tasty. Despite being very busy, the service was great.

I love this place! All the bartenders are super friendly and attentive. They also speak perfect English and had menus in English which I was very thankful for. I've been here 3-4 times and have never had a bad drink or a bad time. They play good music and the overall atmosphere is super cool, kind of 1920s prohibition era vibes. The upstairs is super nice and cozy, if you have a group of 5-6 it's perfect and feels intimate. The downstairs is also very nice with bar seating and smaller tables/couches around the bar. It definitely gets crowded on weekends but during the week it's much more manageable, although I'm sure as summer approaches more tourists pack the place. I would definitely recommend coming here regardless of how busy it is because it's one of the best bars in the area and is also right next to so many excellent restaurants.

Oh combien Je t'aime? Laissez-moi compter les facons Thanks Google Translate. ::::::::::GETTING HERE:::::::::: Something is seriously wrong with the addresses in Paris. Day one we were on the wrong side of the street knocking on doors that obviously were not PCC. After a bit of google maps research we finally found it. ::::::::::STYLE:::::::::: PCC has Style, not Decor or Atmosphere. There is limited seating downstairs, but they will open upstairs if need be. The bar stools are comfy as well as the various ottomans. The mood is set with classic hip-hop. Writing this review makes me want to go back to Paris. ::::::::::SERVICE:::::::::: 5 Stars (which is why we kept coming back). First off, Javier.... the Asian French with the Spanish name....yeah total cutie. And a great mixologist. He was like a painter painting a masterpiece. Also, there was a female bartender who was amazing. She was in mid-sentence and tilted her head, closed her eyes and started slowly shaking the living daylights out of our drink. It was so funny, cause she did it every time. ::::::::::DRINKS:::::::::: Try the Very Old Cuban. Muy Delicioso. Also I had some with Monkey Shoulder Whiskey. Beware, this drink is STRONG. I had two. In the 2 times we came I may have sampled 5 different drinks, try something new every time. Its Paris for goodness sake. I love this place and can't wait to return.

Cool, hip vibe. Small, sexy and discreet. Ordered an Old Fashioned here. This is my litmus test drink. A bartender either knows their trade or the just sling drinks. They slayed it. Highly recommend stopping by for a drink or 2.

Great spot. Great bartenders, great cocktails, cool vibe, good music but not too loud so you can converse, and for Paris, very reasonably priced. Check it out and enjoy.

Prescription was a pleasant bar where you can relax. Dark throughout, but in a welcoming way, the bar felt appropriately lively but was not overwhelming or too loud. The drinks at Prescription were expensive (big city prices, certainly) but their liquor selection and the taste made up for it. We ordered their take on a Margarita (Bunny's Margarita) and Manhattan (the "Brooklyn"). Don't be alarmed; the orange marg tastes like the real thing. For any other bourbon drinkers - their selection of bourbons (and whiskeys) surprisingly included many of my favorites: Woodford Reserve, Bulleit, Blanton's, and whistle pig we're all available. Both drinks were excellent and the Brooklyn was a little sweeter than the usual Manhattan. The crowd was almost entirely French (on the Wednesday night we visited) but the bartender we spoke with communicated in English very well. As a heads up for the solo night out seekers, the bar seemed better suited for couples, a Parisian ménage à trois, or your ordinary group of friends. With dark covered windows and little to no signage it felt like a French speakeasy and is one I hope to visit again.

Nice vibe. Good spot. But too popular & too touristy. It felt as though the bartenders were part of an assembly line. They made the drinks in a timely fashion, some faster than others. The drinks were good, but no concoctions that were out of the ordinary or made you go 'whoa'. It felt like one of the bars here in the city.

The waiter took our order twice, because he forgot what our order was the first time. Then we waited an hour. Finally got a cocktail. If you enjoy that experience, come here.

The crafted cocktails are delicious and the ambiance is fantastic: think speakeasy. Earlier evening is quiet, though it quickly fills (what feels like beyond capacity). We sat at the bar each time and enjoyed the bartenders' casual conversation with us - in English. :) The bathrooms are upstairs, where there is additional seating. I recommend arriving early to acquire a good seat. It's easily one of those places you could stay all night, enjoying one cocktail after another.

Definitely has that NYC vibe. Great drink list, service was great. Cozy, dark and sexy. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in Paris

At first it seemed to pretentious and I was ready to walk away, but it turns out the doorman was just joking around with us when he asked if we "need a prescription?" Honestly thought it was going to be one of those speakeasies that only those with high salaries or passwords could get into. It's luxe inside, with beautiful wallpaper and furniture - though it was by luck we got a seat, because it was so packed. There isn't as much space to queue up at the upstairs bar, so you're better off going downstairs. They have all the middle-priced but quality liquors I miss from home in the States. Namely, they have a better selection of scotch than anywhere else in Paris. The cocktail menus are in English, and the bartenders expertly craft them. It's a bit pricy at 13 euros a drink, but definitely worth it. Shame there isn't room to dance, because they were playing great music (enjoyable French pop). We ran into some regulars who told us they've been in the area for twelve years and they haven't found a better cocktail bar.

A great place to go! Fantastic cocktails, very interesting people and a comfortable atmosphere. Advice: be there before 11 p.m. to reserve a good seat after you will only have a chance to enjoy one of the delicious cocktails while standing.

I really like the set up and the cute decor. However, the drinks left a bit to be desired, especially when the waiter encouraged us to tell her what we like so that the bartender would make something, and the result was terrible. I had two drinks - their old fashioned from the menu, and a really bad fruity peach concoction. The old fashioned was ok. The other drink was a disaster. I said I like bourbon and wanted bourbon with a taste of peach. Anywhere else where the bartender knows what they're doing, this would have resulted in a take on an old fashioned. I got a shaken, pink peach sugar drink. It may have had a hint of bourbon in it, but was definitely not tasty.

Very boozy and very fun. This place was dark and had cocktails that packed a punch. I ordered one classic cocktail- it was not made very well, so the bartender offered to make me something else. I think you go here more for the ambience, And to have fun conversations with strangers, rather than perfect cocktail. Still, five stars.

Love this place! Great for a date or with friends, especially later on during the night when the dj sets up!

A speakeasy type of bar, Prescription Cocktail club is quite a gem in Paris. The place is upbeat, energetic, and has a pretty good drink menu. If you don't have a reservation, you can still see if you can find a seat at the main bar on the first floor. While the drinks here are originals, they can get quite expensive. At 15 to 18 euros per drink, seeing your bill at the end is quite a sobering moment. Still, this place is definitely a 4 star establishment. All the bartenders were friendly, spoke english, and made solid drinks.

Amazing cocktails. Bartenders were very knowledgeable and madd great suggestions. Very cool space that looked very speakeasy. Will definitely go again next time I'm in Paris.

Just what the doctor ordere Sexy, and cozy ambiance It feels like Paris New York and London got married Love the wallpaper Not to mention the glasses Thrilled they have snacks Not thrilled with our snack We ignored the bartenders advice and ordered the duck spring rolls too basic, too picard ( although the sauce was good ) Suppose we should have listened and ordered the mini hamburger! Friendly good looking crowd Super cool staff ; nice contrast to the standard French stiffness

Dark and sexy lounge with an eclectic staircase and decor. Very friendly server and it was very busy on a Tuesday night. Loved the chic French lounge music and they had a good-looking staff and customers. I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in Paris.

Lived in Paris many ages ago, but still visit often....came here on a weekend night, recommended by a friend, and definitely don't see what the hype is about. Very crowded, but with very very VERY casually dressed (on a saturday night nonetheless!) and fairly sloppy people (which is fine, but doesn't fit with what many reviews I see now (hadn't looked up prior) describe, and being dressed up myself, didn't really feel it was the ambiance we were aiming for (again, recommended by a friend). The bartender made my dirty martini with gin rather than asking if I wanted vodka or gin (et je parle francais)...which even when replaced with vodka, was bad enough I just left it there when we left, full. Also, ordered said dirty martini as the menu and drinks really weren't enticing, despite the cocktail club name, reputation, and clearly speak-easy esque aim (and i only drink cocktails). That said, if I returned on a night not packed with people in their pajamas, I'd give it a go, as the rest of the staff were really friendly and sweet. FYI - the words dive bar were used by my companion, repeatedly, until we left, and he's not too picky. "Didn't feel parisian at all, more like 'employees only'" for the NYCers reading.....only I do like EO's drinks.

I came here for a quick Monday night date. The bar is really cool, keeping with the Paris trend of speakeasy style bars. It was really empty (as in we were the only patrons at 9:30), but maybe that's because it was Monday. We ordered two different drinks. My boyfriend liked his, mine was ok. Tasted a bit medicinal which I find often in these bars where they try to make complicated drinks with tons of components. I'd come and try something else maybe if I was in the area or if friends wanted to go, because it is a cool and intimate space, but it's not on my must-go-back list. Service was nice. Drink prices standard for Paris cocktail bars.

The first time I dropped by, the bouncer asked me if I've already been to this bar. My answer was no. Then he asked if I lived in the neighborhood. I said yes and I was allowed to get in. This bar gives the impression it is semi-private. Yes, it's quite posh but not pretentious. The staff behind the counter is extremely polite and professional. As it is a cocktail bar, try the creations of the house. 12 euro, it's not cheap, but The Zombie or the Old Havana are really worth it. A great cocktail bar in Saint-Germain.

To celebrate our last night in Paris, we wanted to go out for drinks before dinner. We found this place on Yelp and I am so glad we did! It was within walking distance of our place in St. Germain and has a speakeasy feel to it. There isn't a sign on the outside so you need to know the address number to be sure you arrive at the proper address. It was our bartender's last night at the club, and he was awesome! We told him what flavors we like and he created cocktails for us right there on the spot. They do have a few signature drinks that are all great, but if you are adventurous, try to order something unique and "custom crafted". If you're looking for a good cocktail in the 6th Arrondissement, you should definitely check out Prescription Cocktail Club.

fun cocktail bar. gets crowded. bar seats are highly coveted but we snagged two. bartender was fun to talk to.

Wonderful cozy cocktail bar in a style that's now all the rage: dark, candlelit, soul music, speakeasy vibe, prohibition typeface, bearded hipster bartenders in vests (when will this stop being trendy?!?), cocktail menu that pays homage to drinks crafted at the turn of the 20th century. There is no sign outside, take note. There are just a couple of men in suits. Yes, it's THAT kind of place. Once you walk inside, you'll feel intimately overwhelmed too. It's not bad though, the staff were very welcoming. As long as you have the money for these drinks - averaging around 14-15 euros each - you'll have a blast here. The drinks are crafted expertly in a very fun and sexy environment. Staff are a little full of themselves, but I wouldn't expect anything different from an on-trend place like this. Enjoyed our old fashioneds and mint juleps. Dress well. It's Paris, after all.

This two level venue was nice but, I suspect there's a better time when the bar on each level is open. It's a hassle to reach over folks to exchange drinks for money and for those seated at the bar it had to be a little less pleasant when people are talking over you. Anyhow, the drinks are quite tasty concoctions but, rather pricey. If you have a poor purse this would not be the spot for you... the drinks start at 12€ except for a "winter special" of hot gin punch or if your remedy is of the non alcoholis persuasion. What ever you have a fever for I'm sure they have the prescription to remedy it; as I said before have your pocketbook full of currency! Enjoy!!!

We visited this place in March and had the best time. It was a Paris highlight for us. We visited several other craft cocktail bars in Paris during our trip, but this one was the best. The downstairs bar is very small (8-9 seats total at the bar, with just a few tables lining the wall). Get there by 7-8pm or else you'll definitely be standing all night. This place has a speakeasy feel. We were lucky to snag two seats at the bar so we had a close up view of the bartenders mixing drinks and chatted them up. Contrary to others who have said it was hot inside, we did not have that experience. It was actually perfect (it was 45-55F outside that night). The drinks were pricey, no question, but it's Paris. I had a few New York Whiskey Sours, and they were perfectly created. The guy next to me ordered a Ramos Gin Fizz, which looked heavenly and beautifully foamed. The bartender literally shook the shaker forEVER. We also saw a nice collection of homemade bitters behind the bar. The DJ was spinning 80s and 90s rap that night, so my husband was in heaven. The crowd was definitely mixed in age, though millennials dominated. Dress ranges from fancy to casual, but leave your shorts and sports team logo-ed shirts at home. Jeans, t-shirt, and a moto leather jacket is the most dressed down you can get. Next time we go to Paris, this place will be our FIRST bar stop instead of our last!

Undoubtedly the coolest speakeasy I've ever been to. In an excellent spot in Paris, the atmosphere is unmistakably unique and hazte from the moment you walk in. If you're looking for an unequaled experience and/or trying to impress someone, this is definitely the spot. The cocktails aren't cheap but they're also not more expensive than any other cocktail bar in Paris, the waiters are incredibly nice, and if you mention it's your birthday they make take a bottle down from the top shelf and give everyone a birthday shot :) In my opinion, absolutely not a place to miss on a classy night out!

"This feels like New York" my friend said upon walking in. And it really did, with its speakeasy, dimly lit vibe. I ordered something with less alcohol because I'm a lightweight, and my friend ordered a cocktail. They were both well mixed, but at least the euro-USD rate is more affordable these days because drinks were pricey. The space gives off a romantic ambiance. I could definitely see it as a lounge you would bring a date to.
