Both chic and trendy, The 46 Bar is an address to note. This spot with aNew York atmosphere is the ideal place for a small drink between friends as well as for a date. Direction the district of republique to discover this address with the strong identity.

A New York atmosphere

By pushing the doors of 46 Bar, we discover a spot with a subdued and shifted atmosphere imagined by Malek, the master of the place. A huge wooden counter, 7 meters long, decorated with a beautiful floral composition sets the tone. We are totally seduced by this setting where raw materials rub shoulders with antique furniture, where a plant wall is transformed into a hall of mirrors.

In the background, a trompe l'oeil fresco created by theartist Marie Vagnini transports us into a rural universe. The whole gives a New York-style bar that would have met Lewis Carroll's Wonderland. Posed at the wooded counter or curled up on a sofa, here to each his spot! We let ourselves be transported by the electro-swing playlist while browsing the menu.

Personalized cocktails

On the counter side, Victor is in charge. Each cocktail preparation is a real show and the highlight of the show is the tasting. You can be tempted by the creations on the menu like the Dark and Stormy, a cocktail made with ginger beer, lime and Jamaican rum. A perfectly balanced recipe that reminds us of a sour candy.

Foodies will love the Porn Star Martini. Vanilla-infused vodka, passion fruit, a touch of lime and you have a cocktail that can be enjoyed like a pastry. Finally, for those who are looking for a drink with character, we fall for the Captain Negroni whose powerful bitterness blends perfectly with the smoky note of mezcal, and with an ice cube in the shape of a skull that gives it a face.

But here's some news that will delight those who are eager for discovery or even the undecided: at 46 Bar you can also enjoy custom cocktails. You can ask Victor to improvise a drink for you according to your tastes, your desires, or even to let his imagination run wild. And here he is juggling while making your cocktail. And to make it as beautiful as good, he uses directly the flowers of the bouquet to decorate your drink. This is how we discover two new creations with surprising composition.

The first one, immediately named the Spartan Spritz, is composed of mastihac liqueur (pine sap), Athenian Vermouth flavored with kumquat, cointreau, yellow lemon juice, gin, hibiscus syrup, mint and prosseco. An ultra floral and refreshing creation ideal for the beautiful days. The second one, the Davy Jones Sour, is made with honey syrup, grapefruit juice and yuzu, rum for spicy house, egg white and angustura bitter. Not too acidic, we love the balance of flavors that give a surprisingly sweet cocktail with a slight touch of bitterness that awakens the taste buds.

Ultra gourmet tapas

And to accompany these beautiful creations at any time, the 46 bar 's menu proposes you to break the crust with a hot dog with beef sausage or to nibble on artichoke cream, peppers or rillettes. But our favorite part is the planks.

We literally fall for the Cecina de Leon beef jerky plate, with its slices that literally melt on the palate. And if, like us, you are big cheese lovers, the cheese board has something to make you happy: Tomme de brebis, comté 18 months, fourme de Valcivière and Neuchâtel, all accompanied by a confit of onions with Corsican honey, a red bell pepper and myrtle berry chutney as well as kalamata olives, we enjoy ourselves!

Whether it is for the atmosphere or for the drinks, The 46 Bar has great chances to become your next HQ.
