Tucked away on a quiet stretch of Rue de la Forge Royale, Red House is your go-to spot for serious cocktails without the pretension. The staff actually know their stuff—ask for the Negroni or one of their rotating special drinks, and you’ll get a pour that’s both creative and perfectly balanced. It’s loud, it’s hipster, and it’s exactly the kind of place where you’ll find locals hanging out well past midnight.
Cocktail heaven with a local soul
Red House is one of those bars that feels like it belongs to the neighborhood rather than a chain. The cocktails are where it really shines—you’ll find inventive mixes that don’t sacrifice flavor for gimmicks. The staff are friendly and clearly passionate about what they serve; don’t be shy to ask for recommendations. The space itself is compact and energetic, perfect for a lively night out with friends.
What keeps me coming back is the consistency. Whether it’s a casual Tuesday or a packed Friday, the drinks are always on point and the vibe stays true to its rock ‘n’ roll roots. It’s not the quietest spot in Bastille, but that’s part of the charm. If you’re looking for a place where you can order a great Negroni, play some pinball, and chat until the early hours, this is it.
