Le Calbar

A sense of humor is part of the appeal here, but the bar takes its cocktails seriously. Known for bartenders in bow ties and boxer shorts, Le Calbar has a playful identity that never gets in the way of good service or well made drinks. The room feels intimate and a little offbeat, with the polish of a proper cocktail bar rather than a novelty spot. It is a good choice if you want something memorable near Gare de Lyon, with enough character for a fun night out and enough skill behind the bar to make the visit worthwhile.
