Best for: Aperitif & Evening Drinks
Slip into the golden glow of Bar Américain, a timeless retreat nestled within the storied walls of the Hôtel de Paris. With its 1920s jazz-club charm, rich mahogany paneling, leather armchairs, and low, ambient lighting, this historic lounge evokes the elegance of another era — one of whispered conversations and sparkling glasses.
Come for an aperitif as the Riviera sun begins to set, or linger into the night as live piano and saxophone music fills the room. The experience is less about drinking and more about atmosphere — cinematic, slow, and steeped in style.
The bar offers a refined menu of expertly mixed classic cocktails, premium wines, and rare spirits, each served with quiet precision and Monaco’s signature sophistication. It’s the kind of place where time stretches and every detail — from the crisp linen to the low hum of jazz — feels intentional.
Opening Hours:
Open daily from 12:00 PM to 1:30 AM — ideal for an elegant pause before dinner or a lingering nightcap.
Location:
Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, Place du Casino
A personal note:
There’s something magnetic about Bar Américain. Whether I stop in for a quiet drink alone or an impromptu gathering with friends, it always delivers a sense of occasion. It’s not just a bar — it’s a ritual, a return to glamour, and a reminder that some places don’t need to change to remain iconic.
