The Club

Following in the footsteps of recently opened bars successfully serving up both food and cocktails, like Candelaria or Grazie, the Club is not only bringing a bit of buzz to an otherwise quiet quartier but also injecting a bit of fun into the Paris drinking scene, with accessible drinks and tasty club sandwiches. The MO here is laid-back lounging with a bit of nosh. Convivial owners Antoni Pascual and Stephane Bilard brought in hat creator Philippe Model to design the space, which resulted in an upper floor that’s quirky and amusing, with an interesting array of curios and slick black Smeg fridge, and a lower floor that sinks drinkers into a “chaotic chic” environment, with distressed faux wallpaper and dangerously comfy armchairs and sofas. The range of spirits is small but solid, and the owners take pride in their selection of fresh, high-quality ingredients. The bar’s welcoming vibe, tasty offerings and fun deco make it a neighborhood favorite for casual cocktails with a bit of whimsy.
