Say good riddance to plastic cups and other uncertain mix. In this guide to drinking a fine whiskey in Paris, pride of place is given to places devoted to this legendary beverage. Confidential, unmissable, vintage… “Well, show me the way to the next whiskey bar” some of you might sing…

As well as…
Julhès x La Distillerie de Paris
The first Parisian whiskey was to be found in this top! Nicolas Julhès (from the delicatessens, cellars, cheese shops, catering shops and son on) has concocted in his Distillerie de Paris (the only) made in Paris whiskey in 2019.
Le Gamin de la Bastille
Against all odds, our quest for fine whiskeys takes us to rue de Lappe. At Le Gamin de la Bastille, the atmosphere is wild. But nice and fine whiskeys (including a large choice) and rums. Come, it’s so good!
34 rue de Lappe – Paris 11th arrondissement
Harry’s Bar
On the walls, nods to NYC. In the glasses, many beverages based on whiskey and more. Harry’s Bar, a century-old piano bar, is really unique and we love it.
5 rue Daunou – Paris 2nd arrondissement
Sherry Butt
Soft armchairs and light, there’s nothing quite like this to enjoy a glass of fine whiskey. Sherry Butt is still cool even old.
20 rue Beautreillis – Paris 4th arrondissement
La Zygothèque
At La Zygothèque, whiskey can be enjoyed while having dinner (or lunch). 300 references to pair with semi-gourmet traditional dishes. An experience you don’t want to miss.
15 rue de Tolbiac – Paris 13th arrondissement
