The 24 Best Bars in Paris

"When it opened in 2007, Experimental Cocktail Club (ECC, for short) became the benchmark for all other Parisian cocktail bars that followed. Today, its reputation precedes it and the place remains packed night-after-night with a mature mix of Parisians and tourists. The whole point of this place is to serve cocktails you've never had before. (Get it? Experimental?) The 12 suggestions might include ingredients like cordial de fleurs de sureau (elderberry liquor) and an oeuf entier (a whole egg). But the bartenders and servers are happy to help you navigate the options and will gladly make suggestions based on what you like (and what you don't). While they tend to switch up the selection every six months, you're bound to find a winner." - Sara Lieberman
