Bonnie

Rooftop Bar SO/ Paris $$$ Reviewed by Marcus Webb

Bonnie sits on the 15th and 16th floors of the SO/ Paris hotel, inside the Morland Mixite tower on the edge of the 4th arrondissement, with the Seine running below. It works as a restaurant, bar and late club in one, and the draw is the height: a panoramic sweep that takes in Bastille, the Ile Saint-Louis, Montmartre and the river bridges, per Sortiraparis and the venue's own pages.

Who would love it: a drinker who wants a dressed-up rooftop with a real view, a 1970s-leaning cocktail list and a room that slides into a club as the night runs late. Who would not: anyone after a quiet, low-key local or a cheap round, since this is a destination rooftop with a door policy and hotel-bar pricing.

The design does the talking. Notoire agency dressed the rooms in a warm 60s and 70s mood, with midnight-blue carpet, a black stone bar, curved banquettes and mirrors that bounce the city back at you, per The Socialite Family. The two levels link a dining floor and the higher bar, and the floor-to-ceiling glass means the panorama is the centrepiece from almost any seat. It reads as a designed-for-the-skyline room rather than a terrace with a view tacked on.

The cocktails carry a story. The list is a four-hand collaboration credited to Kevin Eteo and Ben Tyler, the latter from Little Red Door, and it nods to 60s and 70s recipes built on French spirits, per Sortiraparis. The house signature is the Bloody Bonnie, a tribute to Bonnie Parker and a play on the French roots of the cocktail. The smart move is a signature serve at sunset when the bridges light one by one, then a table or the bar as the music builds. Pricing sits firmly in high-end rooftop territory, which is the trade for the address and the height.

The crowd shifts through the night, an after-work and dinner set early, a louder, dressier club crowd as the weekend hours run on. Booking is the honest advice for the bar as much as the restaurant, since walk-up space is tight when the room fills. Reviewers consistently rate the view and the design while noting the prices and the door, which is the expected trade for a rooftop of this profile.

Best time to go is sunset for the view, then later if the club energy is the point. Bonnie is the high-end rooftop stop on a central Paris night. See where it sits among the best rooftop bars in Paris and browse the wider guide to rooftop bars by city, then plan the rest of the evening through the Paris bar guide.

Getting there is straightforward: the SO/ Paris tower sits by the Seine near the Sully-Morland Metro station on line 7, a short walk from the Marais and the Ile Saint-Louis. That puts Bonnie within reach of central Paris while keeping the rooftop apart from the street-level crowd, so it suits a night that starts with a view and ends on the dance floor. Booking is recommended, cards are accepted, and the bar runs late into the weekend.
