Prescription Cocktail Club

St-Germain & Les Invalides


With bowler and flat-top hats as lampshades and a 1930s speakeasy New York air to the place, this cocktail club – run by the same mega-successful team as Experimental Cocktail Club – is very Parisian-cool. Getting past the doormen can be tough, but once in, it’s friendliness and old-fashioned cocktails all round.
