Stopped by for a few drinks... we loved the dark and intimate atmosphere. We were greeted and had the pleasure of being served by Dorio (I hope I spelled that right! ) who was more than happy to review his recommendations but was also open to playing with my taste and palate to create true custom craft cocktails! It was an amazing time and Dorio being from Rome gave us great recommendations not just for our time in Paris but also for all over and our other stops/spots... great drinks and hospitality! We will definitely be back!

I'm writing this review while I'm here. Great place. Intimate. Service is superb. I had the experimental drink on the menu. Wow was amazing. Will definitely be coming back. Props to the bartender ERIC. Made me a few amazing drinks. I'll be back. If anyone is visiting Paris. You neeeed to come.

This was my second bar on the first night I was in Paris and had a great time! The place is small but very inviting. The staff was welcoming and I grabbed a seat at the bar. I had the bartender make a couple of his favorite cocktails and we got to talk about cocktails and the industry. The vibe is great if you are by yourself, date or a group of friends. Definitely worth stopping by and checking it out!

Very nice bar with lots of interesting craft cocktails. Located in an area filled with Americans and I felt more "at home" than I have in days. Was nice to hear so much English! Bar staff were very friendly. I was surprised they found us a place to sit. I didn't mind standing. Drinks were potent and interesting. Lots of botanicals. We were glad to find it!

Bar at night

Came here while visiting and enjoyed a nice date night in Paris! Armand recommended the most amazing drinks and we had so much fun. Would recommend if you're looking for a low key spot for a good time!

Experimental Cocktail Club is a small bar with a few tables and four or five bar stools. It can get pretty crowded at times but it's definitely worth checking out if you're a craft cocktail fan. These guys really know their stuff and this is a great place to visit for your favorite cocktail or to dabble in new ones. On one particular night I was there, I really had a craving for a Bobby Burns which is whiskey, sweet vermouth and bénédictine. As soon as I ordered it I was pleasantly surprised that the server immediately knew what it was. And not only, that but pretty much said it's one of her favorite drinks. I knew I was in the right place! Besides that, you can pretty much order anything here or if you're feel adventurous, you can tell the server or bartender what you like or are looking for in a cocktail and they'll come up with some recommendations for you. Overall, the atmosphere, servers and bartenders and selection make for a really great place.

I'm a fan. Very cool speakeasy vibe, which begins with trying to find the damn building (there's no sign other than a tiny plaque on the wall) in a tiny, quiet Parisian street. Cocktails were a nice change of pace from what was a wine-filled week in Paris. The inside is dark -- perfect for a night out with friends or a hot date. Not much room to sit, but we found a spot on the corner of the bar to set our drinks, chat, and enjoy the delicious cocktails. Everything I had was fantastic, but that was to be expected as the very helpful bartender made drinks specifically based on what I told him I like. Coming from Detroit which has fantastic cocktail bars, I was impressed!

My favorite drink ever was just served to me by Red Beard the bartender and manager. From the first sip I knew I would never leave it behind. Come join me in my new obsession - great cocktails! Very friendly and easy going place.

WiFi pw: studio54 An unassuming cocktail lounge in Zone 1, in an area that's bustling well into the night. Dim lighting, local vibe, intimate settling, light music, friendly and knowledgeable bartenders, delicious... Loved it!

Very good gimlet. I substituted their vodka for gin.

Cool place to grab a drink in this fun neighborhood in Paris. My friend and I were able to grab a couple seats on the back right before it got packed. Very dark inside. Cocktails run a bit on the sweet side.

INFORMATION

Experimental Cocktail Club

The bar with numerous imitators

Along Saint-Sauveur Street, the Experimental Cocktail Club, while you're not the first to miss their front door, is a dark spot for discerning cocktail lovers. The rather authentic “clandestine” bar offers one of the most eclectic cocktail menus on the planet. It's not that you can't order a classic drink: their mastery is flawless, but it's not the place to have a simple martini. Choose adventure, in other words: the drink of the day! The opportunity to come across a cocktail that goes off the beaten path such as a mixture of whiskey and balsamic vinegar, or even tequila, honey, bourbon and vanilla...
