Experimental Cocktail Club

"Down the street from Jefrey’s, Experimental Cocktail Club (ECC) is the place that jump-started the city’s cocktail scene when it opened in Montorgueil in 2007. It’s still a staple and a cozy spot for a great drink made with new flavor combinations. You should chill with friends with a tequila and kombucha or a pistachio-infused apple brandy on the velvet couches pushed against the exposed brick walls, or make new ones at the bar. Just don’t come hungry since they don’t serve food. " - tanisha townsend

"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

"The Experimental Cocktail Club was one of the first to bring the craft cocktail scene to Paris, landing here in a dark and moody room with stone walls. This once-simple barhas becomethe flagship of an international empire with satellitesin Ibiza and London. But the scene here grooves on and on, much like the DJtunes that spin until 2 a.m. Ordera Bee’s Kiss (Jamaican rum, cream, organic honey, and crushed Indonesian pepper), or if you prefer wine, head tothe sister establishment, La Compagnie des Vins Surnaturels, a natural-wine bar in St-Germain-des-Prés."
