Nestled in the heart of Paris, not far from the iconic Op\u00e9ra Garnier, Harry&#8217;s New York Bar stands as a monument to history, culture, and the fine art of mixology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in 1911 by American jockey Tod Sloan, the bar was originally called &#8220;The New York Bar.&#8221; Sloan had the interior shipped over from a bar in New York, giving it an authentic American feel right in the heart of Paris. Harry MacElhone, a young barman, took over in 1923 and added his first name to the title. The legendary &#8220;Harry&#8217;s New York Bar&#8221; was born, and it\u2019s still owned and run by the MacElhone family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the years, it became the glamorous watering hole of choice for expatriates, tourists, and locals who appreciated the taste of classic cocktails and the allure of American jazz. Today, visiting this century-old establishment is like stepping back in time. The ambient lighting, original wooden panels, over 400 classic drinks, and the familiar tinkling of cocktail glasses transport you to an era when Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Porter were regular patrons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Visit Harry\u2019s New York Bar in Paris on: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/en-au\/tours\/ultimate-southern-france\">Ultimate Southern France<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10083\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10083\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10083\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/harrysbar_theoriginal_361580761_2636726806475449_7723257251753493775_n.jpeg\" alt=\"Harry's New York Bar in Paris\" width=\"810\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/harrysbar_theoriginal_361580761_2636726806475449_7723257251753493775_n.jpeg 810w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/harrysbar_theoriginal_361580761_2636726806475449_7723257251753493775_n-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/harrysbar_theoriginal_361580761_2636726806475449_7723257251753493775_n-768x768.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10083\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: @harrysbar_theoriginal<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_10084\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10084\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/harrysbar_theoriginal_64794531_144755233271919_4687055449710302724_n.jpg\" alt=\"Harry's New York Bar in Paris\" width=\"810\" height=\"809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/harrysbar_theoriginal_64794531_144755233271919_4687055449710302724_n.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/harrysbar_theoriginal_64794531_144755233271919_4687055449710302724_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/harrysbar_theoriginal_64794531_144755233271919_4687055449710302724_n-768x767.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10084\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: @harrysbar_theoriginal<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>A cocktail atelier<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harry&#8217;s New York Bar was the birthplace of several iconic drinks.

The Bellini has since become an iconic cocktail, enjoyed worldwide but never quite as special as when sipped in its birthplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/how-to-spend-a-blissful-24-hours-in-venice\/\">Dine, Sleep, Do: How to spend a blissful 24 hours in Venice<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10094\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10094\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10094\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_241105171_4172299966151194_6883803052349106904_n.jpg\" alt=\"Harry's Bar in Venice\" width=\"810\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_241105171_4172299966151194_6883803052349106904_n.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_241105171_4172299966151194_6883803052349106904_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_241105171_4172299966151194_6883803052349106904_n-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: @cipriani<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_10095\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10095\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10095\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_217837173_2597382430557804_2121861421314705525_n.jpg\" alt=\"Harry's Bar in Venice\" width=\"810\" height=\"1013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_217837173_2597382430557804_2121861421314705525_n.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_217837173_2597382430557804_2121861421314705525_n-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_217837173_2597382430557804_2121861421314705525_n-768x960.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: @cipriani<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Cultural icon<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its inception, Harry\u2019s Bar attracted a roster of artists, writers, and celebrities. The likes of Ernest Hemingway, Katherine Hepburn, Charlie Chaplin, Truman Capote, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Orson Welles were regular patrons. Hemingway, in particular, considered it his favorite watering hole, often describing its intimate atmosphere in his works. The bar\u2019s drawcard wasn&#8217;t just the alcohol or the delicious meals, but the sense of camaraderie and creativity. Conversations sparked here would often find their way into novels, films, and art.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite its celebrity visitors and renowned cocktails, the beauty of Harry\u2019s Bar today lies in its simplicity. With crisp linen tablecloths and wooden chairs, the original decor allows its rich history to shine. The food remains a winner too, with sumptuous risottos and fresh seafood paying tribute to the city\u2019s culinary scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2001, the Italian Ministry for Cultural Affairs declared Harry\u2019s Bar a national landmark. While the designation is a nod to its historical significance, the true testament is the endless crowd of visitors who flock to its doors year after year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/perfect-day-capri\/\">The Isle of Dreams: How to Spend the Perfect Day in Capri<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10096\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10096\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10096\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_283750742_1214908589339991_228168322811374519_n.jpg\" alt=\"Harry's Bar in Venice\" width=\"810\" height=\"704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_283750742_1214908589339991_228168322811374519_n.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_283750742_1214908589339991_228168322811374519_n-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_283750742_1214908589339991_228168322811374519_n-768x667.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10096\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: @cipriani<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_10097\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10097\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10097\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_252433088_3128236080787317_5709512905907131453_n.jpg\" alt=\"Harry's Bar in Venice\" width=\"810\" height=\"810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_252433088_3128236080787317_5709512905907131453_n.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_252433088_3128236080787317_5709512905907131453_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cipriani_252433088_3128236080787317_5709512905907131453_n-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10097\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: @cipriani<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>The Legacy of Harry\u2019s Bars<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the two bars had completely different origins, they shared many of the same values (and patrons!) arising from the Lost Generation of the early 20th century; music, art, literature, and good company and stories shared over excellent food and drinks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These bars aren\u2019t just places to grab a cocktail. They\u2019re historic institutions that inspired literary and artistic giants and global gastronomic traditions. They\u2019re a portal to a bygone era, where the walls tell tales of Jazz Age soirees, literary debates and the art of a well-made drink.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As both Paris and Venice continue to involve, Harry\u2019s Bars remain true to their roots, reminding us of the timeless glamor of a great bar.
