Le Bluebird

Cocktail barLocals' pick

A side-street cocktail bar near Faidherbe-Chaligny from the Moonshiner team, named after a Bukowski poem: lava stone, coloured-glass wall lamps, a turquoise aquarium and Sinatra on the speakers. Head bartender Pasa Omerasevic has run the bar since it opened ten years ago, with a short seasonal menu and a strong line in gin.

Good to know

  • The menu describes each drink in three words, so talk to the bartender before ordering (Time Out).
  • Some cocktails come from the tap, like the smoky Roub with pita- and tahini-infused whisky.
  • No reservations; open every evening from 18:00 (midnight close on Sunday, per Time Out).
