Warning: This bar could change your mind about cocktails. No longer the privilege of a posh crowd, these liquid delights are now offered to all in a warm and laid-back atmosphere. In front of your eyes, the barman at La Distillerie’s skilfully mixes fresh fruit juices and savoury alcohols.
From Classic to Exotic
Imagine… Lemon juice squeezed directly in your hard lemonade, a martini with fresh mango and apricot juice, an Asian pear cocktail. And to your mojito, Cuba’s famous mint cocktail, why not add some raspberries, or even strawberries? In addition to these exotic flavours, the house brings you its classics, like the Mint Julep, the Old Fashioned and the Manhattan. These distinguished cocktails do wonders with a little bourbon, an ignored American whiskey, favourite at La Distillerie.
Good Mood
This establishment takes us back to the ambiance of the old distilleries. In the centre of the rustic setting, a large barrel serves as a table. As for the alembic shaped bar, it is filled with a wide range of quality spirits. This is the perfect place to gather with friends or make new ones. To ensure that everything flows smoothly, the ten rules of the bar are written on the wall. For example, it is suggested: “If you have not already done so, greet your neighbour.” On occasion, musicians and singers add their voices to the good mood of the place.
Take note
In addition to cocktails, the bar also serves a few draught beers.Hungry? Just order one of La Parise’s famous hamburgers next door.
