Cocktail bar in Paris

7 places for Cocktail bar in Paris, picked by creators — with what they said.

• Sister Midnight — TOPJAW
  The smoke-and-music atmosphere is something "other bars try to copy and never pull off," and the Mad Daddy, a smoke-fortified Negroni, is superb.
  Heads up: Drag shows are Saturdays only, and burlesque runs every other Thursday.
• The Cambridge Public House — TOPJAW
  A spicy margarita riff made with gochujang and carrot — "one of the best cocktails I've ever had."
• Harry's New York Bar — TOPJAW
  There's evidence the Bloody Mary, French 75 and Sidecar were all invented here, and the bar counter — dismantled in New York in 1910 and shipped over — is still in place, along with back-bar bottles that survived World War II.
  Heads up: Hot dogs are the only food on offer, and it's very touristy — about half the crowd is American.
• Bar Nouveau — TOPJAW
  Far more than straightforward cocktails — molecular-level technique used to build texture, including Goustav, a gold-leaf tribute to Klimt's 'The Kiss'.
  Heads up: Plenty of the drinks, Goustav included, are seriously strong.
• Le Bar — 또 떠나는 남자 ddoddunam
  Described the dim lighting and red velvet decor as 'true French chic.'
• Candelaria — TOPJAW
  A flagbearer for Paris's hidden bar scene — an atmospheric cocktail bar tucked behind a taqueria, still packed 15 years on.
  Heads up: The entrance is a taco shop; you have to go through the white door at the back to reach the bar.
• Le Quartier Général — Locavore Eats
  The old-fashioned hot chocolate — melted chocolate with hot milk poured over it — was rich and warming enough to melt away a Paris winter, and the croque madame and Le British breakfast set were both well put together.
