Montmartre & Northern Paris
If the name isn't a clue, the decor certainly is: its bordello-like leopard-print lounges, red-velour drapes and a pole in the centre of the bar reflect its former incarnation as a brothel in this gentrifying red-light district. Stupendous cocktails (€8 to €10) include Lip Smash (rum, Angostura bitters, ginger, lime and red-fruit coulis).
Happy hour, with €6 cocktails from 6pm to 10pm, kicks off the party; DJs play on Fridays and Saturdays from 11pm.
