From the same kickass crew that created Experimental Cocktail Club comes Grand Pigalle, a 37-bedroom hotel that houses one of the 9th arrondissement’s sexiest bars.

As expected, the cocktails are out of this world. We kicked things off with a fresh lemon, basil and vodka-filled Experience 1 then made our way through the nine other cocktails on the list. Each one is created with ECC brilliance and the inspiration comes from bohemian Pigalle. The (200 bottle strong) wine list is epic too and if you need some stomach lining (NB. You will) the food is totally on point.

The street-side location and floor-to-ceiling windows create a chilled vibe, perfect for people watching, and the decor is black, gold and seriously hot. Get yourself on to a sleek velvet sofa pronto.

Grand Pigalle is taking the party into les petites heures so when closing time hits check into one of their bedrooms for the night and hit the mini bar; it’s stocked full of pre-bottled cocktails. Even the toiletries are based on booze. Très bon.
