Discover our Top 10 Favourite Spots for Late Night Drinks in Paris
If you want the best nightcap bars Paris offers, we’ve done the legwork for you. We have walked the late-night streets, slipped behind hidden doors, sat at the bars and tried the drinks ourselves. These ten spots deliver the kind of final drink that rounds off a Paris night perfectly. Some are lively. Some are discreet. Some pull you in for one drink and send you home after three! All give you a clear answer to a common question travellers ask once dinner ends – where to drink in Paris at night without wasting time. After dinner in Paris, we picked ten of the vibey and cosy spots that always deliver for anyone who loves discovering the city’s nightcap scene.
You will find cocktail lounges, hotel hideaways and rum-heavy favourites across the main districts. Each one earns its place in this list from our own nights out.
1. Harry’s New York Bar
About the Bar
Harry’s has been running since 1911 at 5 Rue Daunou. The dark wood and red leather feel like a step back into a classic New York drinking room. The team keeps the cocktails tight and precise. The atmosphere stays relaxed even when busy. We’ve ended more than a few nights here and never regretted it.
What Makes It Special
The French 75 here tastes better late at night. Maybe it’s the room. Maybe it’s the recipe. Either way, it hits perfectly.
Menu
Harry’s New York Bar offers over 400 cocktails, from classic to bespoke ones. They also have a massive selection of whiskey.
💡Travel Gentlemen Tip
Head downstairs if the piano room is open. The last time we did that, we planned on one drink and stayed for two!
Cost
Expect to spend around €10 – €20 per person for cocktails. Ideal for the Modest Man.

2. Le Lavomatic
About the Bar
Le Lavomatic hides behind a laundrette door at 30 Rue René Boulanger. Yes, that’s right. It’s a bar behind a laundrette door and it’s perfect for a nightcap in Paris. A narrow staircase leads to a cosy room dotted with cushions and swings. Drinks come playful but well-balanced. The mood stays bright without trying too hard. We’ve brought friends here and the entrance always gets a laugh.
What Makes It Special
You enter through a washing machine door. It never gets old and sets the tone for the night. Such a cool and unique experience.
Menu
Le Lavomatic serves up imaginative cocktails paired with small, high-quality shared plates in a quirky, speakeasy atmosphere. We’ve enjoyed Cosmopolitan and Porn Star Martinis here and they went down very well even with our friends.

3. Les Ambassadeurs
About the Bar
Inside Hôtel de Crillon, this lounge blends marble, soft blues and small lamps with a smooth soundtrack. The drinks lean refined without feeling distant. The crowd is a mix of guests and locals rounding off the night with something good. We’ve walked in late and always found the room calm and inviting.
What Makes It Special
The Champagne cocktails use Grand Cru bottles which lifts the flavour instantly. The setting elevates it further, with the piano bar giving the whole room a rare, intimate atmosphere. The decor, the ambience and the cocktails are just divine. You will not regret that you’ve come here for a late night drink.

4. Rehab
About the Bar
Rehab sits under the Nolinski near Pyramides. Velvet booths, low lamps and a slower soundtrack set the pace. Drinks taste clean and show restraint. The crowd tends to be guests or locals unwinding quietly. We’ve come here after long days and always appreciated how steady the room feels.
What Makes It Special
Rehab Bar is a Parisian speakeasy celebrated for its cutting-edge cocktails infused with CBD, blending botanical relaxation with mixology in an intimate, hidden-bar setting. The house infusions give their signatures a depth you don’t find in most hotel bars.
Menu
Rehab’s cocktail list leans toward subtle, well-crafted signatures built around their own house infusions. Expect herb-forward blends, light bitterness, and a clean finish rather than sugar-heavy crowd-pleasers. Each drink feels thoughtful and tight, with CBD options that soften the edges without overwhelming the flavour.

5. No Entry
About the Bar
No Entry hides beneath Pink Mamma in Pigalle. A faux cold-room door leads to warm red lighting and a crowd that builds after midnight. Drinks lean toward Italian spirits and rich amaro. We’ve ended nights here when we wanted something upbeat but still stylish.
What Makes It Special
The amaro selection is huge which lets you try Italian bitters far beyond the common names.
Menu
The menu includes a variety of Japanese favourites, such as nigiris, uramakis and hot dishes like udon and yakisoba.

💡Travel Gentlemen Tip
We’ve been here twice now. The first time, we arrived just after 23.00 and the timing was perfect. If you go earlier you might get caught behind diners. The second time, we booked a table for dinner upstairs and head downstairs to the bar afterwards. The staff are so accomodating.

Marlusse et Lapin is well know for their Absinthe drinks. The retro feel of this bar gives it a quirky charm that you remember long after the night ends.

8. Le 1905
About the Bar
Le 1905 hides above a concept store in the Marais. The wooden floors and warm lamps make it feel like a private lounge. The staircase is narrow which keeps the room quiet. Drinks are balanced and steady. We often stop here when we want a calm finish after walking the Marais at night.
What Makes It Special
The upstairs setting shields you from street noise which creates a relaxed space that feels tucked away from the city.
Menu
Le 1905 Bar has a sharp cocktail list – all served in a refined speakeasy atmosphere. They all have small plates here but ask the staff first if the kitchen is still open.
Check out the menu here

About the Bar
Le Fumoir sits beside the Louvre on Rue de L’Échelle. The leather seating and book-filled walls create a steady, comfortable mood. Drinks are classic and poured with confidence. The long hours help if you are in the area and want a last drink without fuss. We’ve ended museum days here more times than we can count.

Dirty Dick in Pigalle delivers bright tiki flair with a huge rum selection. The décor is bold, the drinks come in colourful glasses and the crowd stays upbeat. If you want a final drink with a bit of spark, this is where you go. We once stopped for one drink and ended up trying a rum flight.
