Experimental Cocktail Club
MOOD: AFTER HOURS, SCENE
BUDGET: $$
Blink and you’ll miss it. The narrow street feels even more so at night. Find the small plaque on the door and you know you are in the right place. When Experimental Cocktail Club (EEC) opened in 2007, it was an immediate hit. Wine is the preferred nightcap in Paris, thus the city never quite developed its cocktail culture. Three jetsetting bartenders decided to change this, opening a New York-style speakeasy in a gritty side of town.
EEC kicked off a revolution, building an empire of some of Paris’s hippest bars (among them, Left Bank’s Prescription Cocktail Club) while competitors sprung up, most of which trained at EEC. The best is still the original, where the bartenders are craftsman, the crowd is chic and cool, and the DJ keeps the mood relaxed. It is worth the long wait on weekends and the studied once-over from the picky bouncers to be able to imbibe in Experience #1, with elderflower liqueur edged with lemongrass for a Thai treat. Come well-dressed and be impressed.
