Bar
Harry’s New York Bar
A historic American-style bar near the Opéra, open since 1911 and long said to be the birthplace of the Bloody Mary and the French 75.
The original Perchoir rooftop bar, on the seventh floor of an industrial building in Ménilmontant, with views across to Sacré-Cœur.
Good to know
Le Perchoir Ménilmontant set the template for the Paris rooftop bar boom. Set on the seventh floor of an industrial building in the 11th arrondissement, the terrace mixes cushioned seating, a pergola, planters of tomatoes and vines, and a long bar, with the dome of Sacré-Cœur on the skyline.
The bar opens Tuesday to Saturday from 6pm until 2am, except when the space is privatised, and the restaurant on the floor below serves Italian-American food from the Vecchio team. Arrive early on warm evenings, as the terrace fills quickly; the booking calendar opens three weeks ahead. Ménilmontant and Rue Saint-Maur Métro stations are close by.
