Service lamentable dans ce resto-bar : serveur m'a confronté en jurant que la boisson fausse était la bonne, puis a oublié des items de la commande. À l'addition, confusion sur les factures, vite réglée. Je déconseille.

huge thanks to the entire Urbanista team, especially the waiters! I always have a great time here. The vibe is chill, the service is impeccable. Great job, keep it up!
Walked into this bar dreaming of smoky mezcal bliss, only to discover the mezcal on the menu was apparently a fictional character. Bold move, advertising spirits that don't exist.
Friend #1 ordered a Negroni that tasted like someone had whispered'Campari' over a glass of tap water. Friend #2 got a cocktail garnished with… lipstick. Not on the rim, not in the garnish… on the glass itself. Nothing says'classy night out' like sharing DNA with strangers.
The music? Fine. Not offensive, not inspiring. Just the kind of background noise you'd expect while questioning your life choices.
If you're into imaginary mezcal, mystery cosmetics, & cocktails that double as cautionary tales, this is your spot. Otherwise, maybe stick to drinking at home - at least there, the lipstick is yours.
We stumbled upon this bar on a walk through Saint Laurent & found such a warm, cozy ambience. The lighting is beautiful, the seating comfortable, & the service very friendly. The drinks were good, but none of their cocktails wowed me. We came in for the 5 à 9 discount on cocktails. We had six drinks for the price of three, which is a great deal. This place wasn't very crowded, so the atmosphere was more chill than the bars surrounding it on the same street. Come here with a group of friends to enjoy good prices on drinks, comfy tables, chess boards, & a cozy setting.
The decoration is eclectic & the atmosphere cozy. Stumbled upon this bar with a friend during their 2 for 1 5 à 7. They serve you both drinks at the same time, the deal is per person & has to be the same drink. I got too gin & tonics. They were good. Not that strong though. A bit of an eclectic food menu. I got the grilled cheese which is simple, but everything I could want for a $5 grilled cheese. The portion is generous. They serve you two sandwiches. Overall good & unique experience. I would recommend if you are happy to go to a simple place.
Great for cocktails when they are 2/1 & the food is really basic (pretty much basic grilled cheese or pizza) but it's really cheap so it's acceptable for the price
