Le Forum opened in 1931 and the bar has been continuously operating since. The room is preserved art deco, leather banquettes, etched mirrors, brass fittings, and the cocktail programme is rooted in the 1930s American classics with French execution.
The drinks are precise and unfussy. The bartenders are formally trained and the build follows pre-prohibition classical specifications. The Old Fashioned, the Manhattan, the Sidecar are all benchmark.
The crowd is older Paris professionals and visiting cocktail enthusiasts. Pair with Harry's New York Bar for a complete heritage Paris cocktail evening.
