Alaska is actually not that far from Rue de Paradis. The eldest iteration of the Animaux Bars collection feels more like a Canadian pub than a fashionable speakeasy. The atmosphere exuded by this festive cavern with its slick cocktails is joyful. Here, the price list is like something from another era – expect €8 until 9pm. Patrons throng here in packs for the cocktails and to tap their feet to the faultless play list.
