Tucked behind the cold chamber of Pizza Da Vito at 5 Rue Sedaine, Moonshiner is Paris's ultimate speakeasy—equal parts swagger and secrecy. Push through the fridge door and you're transported to the Jazz Age: exposed brick walls, art‑deco lighting, tin ceilings, and leather booths illuminated by moody candles. It's the kind of place where each sip feels conspiratorial. Patrons cozy up with inventive cocktails like the Smokey Island—a bold blend of aged rum, vodka, gin, and smoky aromatics—or the popcorn‑infused Merci Louie, or go classic with a Kentucky’s Best Manhattan. There's even a punch for just €6, a steal in such a dramatic setting. But the real star is the whiskey. With 83 varieties from peaty scotches to rare old pours, Moonshiner is a haven for whisky lovers. And for those who enjoy a smoke, there's a discrete indoor smoking room—a rare find in Parisian cocktail bars. Operating nightly from around 18:00 to 02:00, it hums with energy—especially on weekends—while maintaining an exclusive, candlelit ambiance. No reservations, no sign, just a fridge door and a secret that’s worth discovering.
