Mesures

A strong cocktail program and a serious love of music give this place its character. Mesures draws on the spirit of a Japanese jazz kissa, with vinyl, careful sound, and a room that feels polished without turning stiff. The drinks are original and precise, often with French and Japanese influences, but the atmosphere never feels showy. It works equally well for a focused drink at the bar or a longer evening with a few small plates. In the Haut Marais, it stands out for doing both music and cocktails with real confidence.
