Le (plus petit) Bar le plus célèbre du monde doit son nom au journaliste-écrivain qui y avait ses habitudes. Avec Colin Field, élu deux fois « meilleur Chef barman du Monde », il n’en fallait pas davantage pour que la légende continue… Chaque soir, les amateurs sont nombreux à espérer obtenir l’une des 25 places assises dans cette icône du genre, à l’aura d’un Club de membres. Fauteuils en cuir capitonnés, bibliothèque, photos et vieille machine à écrire, pas de musique pour favoriser les échanges… l’alchimie des lieux est indescriptible : il faut être venu au moins une fois dans sa vie pour comprendre.
Genteel haunt of the American writer, with leather armchairs, sepia photos & a honed cocktail menu.

Atmosphere: 9/10
Located inside the Ritz-Carlton Paris, Bar Hemingway offers a chic and intimate setting full of Ernest Hemingway–themed décor. The small room features seating at the bar counter as well as tables scattered throughout. While the décor is unique and full of character, the seating layout isn’t perfect — some tables face the entrance/exit, which is separated only by a curtain. This curtain frequently opens as guests arrive or leave, letting in light from the hotel lobby and breaking the otherwise immersive atmosphere. No background music, which is unusual for a cocktail bar.
Drinks: 9/10
Recommendation: El Matador
Menu is a creative highlight — designed in a newspaper style with a large variety of cocktails. Nice coasters, high-quality glassware, and simple but fitting garnish and presentation. Drinks are made with great-quality ingredients and show excellent balance.
Service: 9/10
Water and complimentary snacks served on arrival. Service is impeccable — attentive, professional, and warm. An extra touch: a fresh rose is presented to each lady, matched to the color of her dress. Prices are extremely high (about $45 per drink), but service quality and setting align with the Ritz name. Reservation recommended.

Bar Hemingway is the definition of a world-class cocktail experience—intimate, elegant, and effortlessly iconic. The ambiance is classic and cinematic, yet it still feels warm and inviting the moment you sit down.
Service was impeccable: attentive, polished, and genuinely personable, with the kind of quiet confidence you expect at this level. The cocktails were outstanding—crafted with precision and balance. We had two “The Ritz Peer” cocktails and a Spicy Manhattan, and each drink was beautifully executed, flavorful, and perfectly suited to the setting.
If you’re looking for a refined Parisian nightcap with flawless hospitality and serious mixology, Bar Hemingway is absolutely worth it. I’d return without hesitation

Bar Hemingway at the Ritz Paris is pure legend — and it lives up to its reputation. The atmosphere is intimate, elegant, and steeped in history, with the feeling that time slows down once you step inside. The cocktails are simply exceptional: crafted with precision, creativity, and a touch of storytelling. Every detail, from the glassware to the music, exudes class. The bartenders are true artists, making each drink feel personal. Yes, it’s pricey, but the experience is unforgettable — a little piece of Parisian magic worth every euro.

Beautiful bar located inside the Ritz Hotel—definitely worth a visit. The interior is elegant, intimate, and full of old-world charm. There’s no music, which creates a calm and refined atmosphere that’s rare to find these days. The space is small and feels classic in every sense, a perfect setting for a quiet, thoughtful drink.
The menu has a strong focus on timeless cocktails, and the martini selection is especially impressive. The drinks are strong, straightforward, and traditional—don’t expect modern mixology or elaborate garnishes. These are proper, no-nonsense cocktails made with skill and precision. Prices are high, but that’s to be expected given the setting and the overall experience.
If you’re planning to go, I recommend entering through the main entrance of the Ritz and walking to the back—you’ll get to pass through the stunning gallery, which adds even more charm to the experience. There can be a wait, so it’s smart to arrive about half an hour before opening, or go later in the evening when the line is shorter. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates a classic bar experience in a truly iconic location.

Was there Sunday the 28th of september. Service is amazing. They take note of how many people make the group and wait for you with beautiful glasses of water embellished by a perfectly cut cucumber slice. Menus are beautifully printed and curated, and you can even buy one! However, that’s when it stops being awesome. The cocktails are a farce, a sham. While they look interesting on paper, each of the members of my group of 3 asked what are the spirits they typically use for each cocktail and what follows is a disgrace for their price. My first friend’s was going to be Monkey Shoulder, my second’s I honestly don’t remember and, mine, El Matador, had I think Monkey Shoulder too. I tried to negotiate a better spirit, to which followed Macallan 12, Glen Moray 12, a whisky so horrid I don’t even remember what was suggested, and Lot 40. I ended up going with Rittenhouse. They arrived and their taste was bland, dull and effortless. They all were in the boozy and spirit forward section. From the beginning they were nothing to jump out of your seat for, yet also topped with ice to the point that if I did not take mine out of the glass, it would have ended a disgraceful melange of poor taste. My Matador tasted like a watered down Manhattan with no soul, complexity or body; but what remedy other than to finish it, for all of our choices resembled each other in their poor performance. Hemingway would not be happy with his namesake’s bar.

Bar Hemingway at the Ritz Paris is a warm and cozy spot with a classic, elegant feel. We had a raspberry cocktail that was absolutely delicious—fresh, fruity, and beautifully served with a real rose flower in the glass, which made it extra special. The bar has a calm and classy atmosphere, with lovely details like silver trays and soft lighting. It felt like the perfect place to relax and enjoy a unique and memorable drink.

Best bar in Paris. The cocktails are on point and the ambiance matches. Exceptional service by the staff. 10/10. I’d live there if I could.
No reservations, so don’t complain about the wait as it seats maybe 24 people.
