Located at 5 Rue Daunou since 1911, Harry's New York Bar stands as Europe's oldest cocktail bar and a legendary institution in Paris. Founded by American jockey Tod Sloan and later owned by Harry MacElhone, the bar authentically recreates its namesake by featuring a Manhattan bar shipped piece by piece from New York. A historic haunt of literary giants including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein, the venue is credited as the birthplace of iconic cocktails like the French 75, Sidecar, and Boulevardier. Its storied past and devotion to classic mixology make it an essential destination for cocktail enthusiasts exploring Paris's celebrated bar scene.
