Located just 200 meters from the iconic Champs-Élysées, CopperBay at The Lancaster is a game-changer in the Parisian bar scene. This independent cocktail bar has quickly gained recognition, earning a spot among the top 100 bars in the Top 500 Bars 2022—and it’s easy to see why.
The bar is adorned in a stunning blue palette with gold accents, creating an upscale yet inviting atmosphere. If the weather is on your side, the terrace offers the perfect outdoor escape.
Every Thursday, CopperBay turns up the energy by hosting a DJ night. We were lucky enough to catch a retro-themed set, with vinyl records spinning all evening. This unique musical backdrop, paired with the bar’s exceptional offerings, made for an unforgettable night.
Now, let’s talk cocktails. The menu is inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, delivering a delightful fusion of flavors. We explored several options, but two truly stood out. The Tapenade, from the entry section, is a salty cocktail featuring olives and capers—an ideal way to kick off the evening. Then there was the Tahini Sour, a creative twist on the classic sour, offering a balanced mix of sweet and tart with a silky, foamy finish. It was a definite highlight!
The small plates were equally impressive. The toast with magret de canard and Roquefort was rich and satisfying. But the standout dish was the raw marinated gambas with a zesty mango sauce—an absolute must-try!
Service at CopperBay was flawless. The staff were not only friendly but also took the time to explain the inspiration behind each Mediterranean-inspired cocktail, adding an extra layer of appreciation to the experience.
In a city brimming with bars, CopperBay at The Lancaster stands out as a must-visit. With its vibrant atmosphere, inventive cocktails, and outstanding service, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and savor a night to remember.
