Where to Drink in Paris, Part One

Experimental Cocktail Club fits right in on the narrow and dimly lit Rue Saint-Saveur, a classic Parisian street barely wide enough for one-way traffic. Just off Rue Reamur in the trendy 2

arrondissement, this location provides the ideal setting for this quietly dangerous cocktail bar.

Sample from a menu of tempting house specialties like the Experience 1.   This drink combines Wyborowa Exquisite vodka, lemon juice, basil, lemongrass and Edlerflower Cordial. These are the type of drinks you really feel after just one or two and really feel great after four or five.

The décor is romantic in the way only Paris can be with authentic exposed-brick walls, antique mirrored tables.   A fresh breath of modernity from the acrylic chandeliers casts a glow on the crowd of traders from the nearby Bourse, retro girls indulging in the speakeasy culture and what one assumes to be digital entrepreneurs the likes of Mark Zuckerburg given their low-key hoodies and designer jeans.

Experimental Cocktail Club is located on 37 Rue Saint Saveur.   Best to get there on the earlier side as the place only seats 40 and has a loyal following.
