One of the most iconic bars in the world. All you need to know is that Hemingway drank here, and the Bloody Mary was invented at this very bar. It has an atmosphere that can’t be just created. It’s as real as it gets. And the barman is a true gentleman, knows his art in a way that only the gifted do. Watching him work is truly poetry in motion.
Recommendation you ask? If course the Bloody Mary if you are that way inclined, but I’ve just had the best Sidecar I’ll ever have. The French 75 is delicate and delicious, and the Dirty Martini is better than any I could dream of making.
Grab a stool, sit for a while and order more than one drink… You deserve it.

Located in Paris’s 2nd arrondissement, between Opéra and rue de la Paix, Harry’s Bar sits in a prime historic district near the city’s grand boulevards. The space exudes nostalgia — wood-paneled walls, classic counter seating, vintage décor, and that unmistakable early-1900s charm. The impressive backbar tells its century-old story. No background music upstairs, staying true to its heritage feel. Live piano plays only in the basement on Wednesdays to Saturdays.
Drinks: 8/10
Recommendation: Any of their classic inventions — Bloody Mary, Sidecar, French 75, or Boulevardier.
The paper menu is simple and old-school, focusing on the house’s historic cocktails. Drinks are flavorful and well-balanced within that traditional framework. Presentation remains basic — below-average glassware, no garnish, and minimal ice work — but the recipes’ legacy makes up for it.
Service: 7/10
Water served on arrival. Team is friendly and professional but could be more attentive. They don’t take reservation but prepare to wait during peak hours. And if it rains outside – you’re out of luck, because the waiting space is very limited and there is no roof outside.
Prices are average for Paris

If you enjoy cocktails and you’re in Paris, make sure you try Harry’s Bar.
I guess I was quite lucky to get in right away without a reservation (maybe because I was alone, so they prioritized me).
This stop on my cocktail-hunting journey was really interesting. The bartender took great care of me and even arranged a good seat at the bar (a slim guy with blonde, slightly curly hair). He was very friendly, gave me recommendations, and chatted with me, so even though I came alone, I never felt lonely.
As for the drinks—there’s nothing to complain about. This place is in the world’s top 50 best cocktail bars, and I don’t think that’s by accident. I tried two cocktails, and the “French” really impressed me.
The bar has a cozy atmosphere, though it’s missing a bit of soft background music—there’s only the sound of conversations and the shaking of the bartender’s tools. Perhaps that’s part of the bar’s charm.
If I have the chance to return to Paris, this will definitely be a place I come back to.

An unforgettable experience at the legendary Harry’s Bar! We were served by Lawrence, whose good humor, friendliness, and hospitality made the visit even more special. The drinks are truly exceptional, masterfully prepared and perfect in every detail. The atmosphere is elegant, welcoming, and full of history: it’s incredible to think that figures like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Coco Chanel frequented this same place. Although the prices are a bit high, it’s worth every penny for the unique atmosphere and the feeling of being in a true Parisian icon. A classic not to be missed!

This place is champion! Great atmosphere and packed with nostalgia. The drinks are well made in beautifully chilled glasses. They do the classic cocktails very well. Great twist on the 75 with the addition of absinthe

Not my kind of cocktail bar. Very likely a victim of its own success, so no longer has to try. I totally understand other reviewers’ disappointment with this place. Being a keen home mixologist, I tried the Bloody Mary of course. Most boring Bloody Mary I’ve had in my life. No garnish at all, none whatsoever! I also had a Sidecar. Difficult to get wrong, so it was OK, but nothing to write home about. Had to ask for water. Sitting at the bar was a stressful experience. Very chaotic. Probably understaffed. Loud. Never again. Don’t bother. There are a handful of really good cocktail bars in Paris, modern bars than value great customer service and don’t bank everything on their historic appeal. Try those instead: Bar Nouveau, Abstract Bistro, Little Red Door, Danico, Le Syndicat and Dirty Dick for Tiki heaven.

First time here but it was worth the Metro run from the 12th to the 2nd. No food to speak of other than a hot dog. We just had cocktails and they were great! Had the special of the month James Bond 1962 which was wonderful. Then the wife had a French 75 which was superb. I had a cocktail created created by one of the bar mixologists for La Negroni week called the Place Stanislas. It was absolutely amazing! I’ve had many different cocktails, classics and tiki and others. I’m a decent mixologists myself at home. I told my server this was the best cocktail I’d ever had and asked if I could get the recipe please. He was pleased, excited and said the young man who created it was here tonight. So he came over shook my hand and we chatted briefly. I asked him for the recipe and he said oui. Then he brought over a September 2025 edition of Barmag magazine with the recipe published in it and said I have it. A very nice touch. Some others have said it’s over priced here, but I couldn’t disagree more. The quality and creativity of the cocktails is well worth it. I’ve been in Las Vegas and paid a lot more for a lot less. Come and see for yourself, highly recommend.

Historical placr where the Bloody Marry and many other cocktails where created and found. Outstanding service with great bartenders (and I admit, handsome too). Lovely atmosphere and overall an excellent excellent choice for a bar to discover.

Cool bar with good cocktails although I was forced to drink only a small selection of drinks that I would have never chosen due to an event. Old style bar with ample seating but good alcohol I’d say from the menu.

Really disappointing. We’d really looked forward to going here this evening, and it started out well – we only had a short wait to get inside, and got a table quickly too. It took a while to get our drinks order taken, but then our drinks arrived really quickly. But when we wanted to order more drinks, it was like we’d become invisible. We tried for ages to get the attention of any staff member, and eventually managed to get a menu, but 20 minutes after we first tried to order more drinks we were still being ignored, so we gave up and left.
Maybe try to remember to check in with your tables at the back from time to time and not just chat to the ones at the front.
