Harry's Bar

Harry's Bar is a wood-panelled American saloon in Paris that has outlasted every trend. It peaked at No. 9 on the World's 50 Best Bars list in 2010 and 2011, and its current relevance is built on delivering classic cocktails within a format that shaped the city's early 20th-century drink culture. The bar is widely credited with originating the Bloody Mary and French 75. Its interior is intimate and lined with collegiate memorabilia, with a downstairs speakeasy featuring live jazz. This is a place judged on what it delivers now: a composed, historically significant setting for dependable drinks.
