Castor Club
Hidden behind unmarked doors, Castor Club is Paris’s hunting-lodge cocktail den — plush velvet, wood walls, inventive drinks, country music & a speakeasy spirit that invites you to linger.
About Castor Club
Tucked in the Latin Quarter (Saint-Germain des Prés) at 14 Rue Hautefeuille, Castor Club is a clandestine cocktail bar that leans into a “cabin in the woods / hunting lodge” motif — moody, intimate, and quietly theatrical.
From the street, the entrance is discreet (few signs, wooden slats, and sometimes a bouncer) — adding to the allure of stepping into a “secret” world. Once inside, you’ll find dark timbered walls, low light, green velvet seating, and décor touches like stuffed animals (a beaver references the “Castor” name) and vintage accents.
The cocktail program is crafted and leaning toward creative, balanced, and sometimes daring combinations — expect local spirits, shrubs, fresh ingredients, and clever twists. A signature drink might be Chirac 95 (apple shrub, génépi, calvados, etc.), or others that draw from classic inspirations with a twist.
The ambiance often includes country, rockabilly, or retro tunes. On weekend nights, the basement can transform into a dance floor, giving the space a dual identity — relaxed cocktail lounge upstairs, energetic club space downstairs.
In reviews, Castor Club is praised as a top spot for date nights, special occasions, and cocktail devotees. Its small size and discreet entrance mean you might miss it if you’re not looking, so reservation (or arriving early) is wise.
In short
Castor Club is for those who want more than just a drink — it’s atmosphere, storytelling, and craftsmanship wrapped in a bit of mystery.
