Gravity

In an area changing from industrial and warehouses to bobo chic, Gravity stands out—the small cocktail bar near Canal Saint-Martin looks sort of futuristic with its curved counter and wavy ceiling. It’s also the happy medium between a dive bar and a fancy drinking spot, so you’ll find good drinks, natural wines, and seasonal tapas, like scallop sashimi and duck confit. And since you’ve already made your way here for date nights or casual cocktails, you’ll want to stay for the ‘90s and 2000s R&B playlist.
