Bluebird is a cocktail bar at 12 Rue Saint-Bernard in Paris's 11th arrondissement, a short walk from Bastille. It comes from the Liquid Corp trio of Thomas Crand, Charles Aurambault and Alexis Poirson, also behind Moonshiner and Dirty Dick, and the name is a nod to Charles Bukowski. The room harks back to the 1950s, with wood paneling, lava stone, orange and multicolored lamps, a copper ceiling and an aquarium toward the back. Gin leads the list, and the cocktail menu is rewritten every month, sorted by flavor profiles such as savory, salty and bitter. Seating is mostly bar stools with a single table, which suits a quick drink after work or a late stop after dinner, and walk-ins are welcome.
