Prescription Cocktail Club

Prescription Cocktail Club (PCC) is the younger, flashier Left Bank location of the famous Experimental Cocktail Club. Both have 1930s speakeasy vibes, but PCC has an additional dimly-lit floor hidden behind a bookshelf for clandestine trysts. Its location is also much tonier, in a bobo enclave surrounded by contemporary galleries and apartments priced among the highest per square meter in Paris. The prescription is basically the same: arguably the best cocktails in the city (always, shall we say, experimental); seductive, low lighting; and a fashionable crowd. You cannot go wrong whichever side of the Seine you are on.
