La Quincaillerie

Nancy


'The hardware store' is more kid-in-a-candy-shop stuff for anyone into their flavoured rums, which reach from bergamot to mint and basil here. The windows brim with flagons filled with brightly coloured spirits that are expertly mixed into signature cocktails. It's cosily stylish, with slouchy sofas for lingering over a killer mojito plus a pavement terrace for summer imbibing.
