Harry's Bar Paris
Paris, France
Historic American bar founded in 1911 by Harry MacElhone, wrapped around an 1860 mahogany counter, with lore as the birthplace of the Bloody Mary, Sidecar and French 75. A piano bar plays downstairs. Still family-run under Franz-Arthur MacElhone, it serves a classic-heavy menu to a mixed local and international crowd.
