Tony Conigliaro, owner of London spots  69 Colebrooke Row and Zetter Townhouse, recently opened his first bar in Paris.  Ironically named after France’s favorite animal, le Coq is not the British 19th century-style speakeasy we would have expected, but rather a successful mix of London warehouse party ambiance with decor that draws inspiration from the Parisian classics.

Le Coq is inspired by the Andy Warhol Factory in terms of its creative warehouse vibe and furniture, but to remind us that we are still in Paris, the posters on the wall show figures from Parisian pop culture, like Catherine Deneuve or Carla Bruni. Cocktail lovers in the area will enjoy the menu, which has its roots in French heritage: Absinthe based cocktails or a new version of Kir Royal. For the music, le Coq brings together the tradition and glamour of the French “chanteuse” with the brash energy of the NY underground music scene–jazz and Serge Gainsbourg along with some Grace Jones and Parisian Disco. Santé !
