Located within the iconic Hotel Lutetia in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Bar Joséphine captures the timeless elegance of Paris’s Left Bank—where heritage, culture, and nightlife meet. Named in tribute to Joséphine Baker, the bar sits among some of the district’s most iconic addresses, just moments from Café de Flore, Les Deux Magots, and the artistic pulse of Rue de Seine.
At Bar Joséphine, cocktails are crafted with precision and quiet confidence—classics elevated with subtle modern touches. Expect a menu that reflects the same refined spirit found across nearby landmarks like Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche and the galleries of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. As live jazz fills the room, the atmosphere shifts into something cinematic—an echo of Parisian nights where every detail feels intentional.
The Art Deco interior defines the experience. Velvet seating, warm lighting, and sculpted details create a setting that is both intimate and quietly opulent. Whether for a late drink after dinner, a discreet meeting, or a slow evening immersed in music, Bar Joséphine offers a rare balance—positioned between the intellectual charm of the Left Bank and the polished elegance of Paris’s most enduring institutions.
