Bar Nouveau in Paris is ranked number 39 on the World’s 50 Best Bars. Located on Rue des Haudriettes in the French capital, the bar is managed by award-winning bartender Harrison Kenney, who is known for his artistic approach to cocktail-making that explores the relationship between nature and a post-technological world. Kenney travelled to India last month for a series of events in cities such as Bengaluru, Gurugram, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Goa. This tour was a collaboration between Bar Nouveau Paris and the beverage education and experiences academy, Tulleeho.
Kenney began his bartending career to earn money for travel. “The irony is that now I bartend, and I get to travel the world because of it. So, it’s been an amazing journey,” he shares. “I’ve explored multiple cities globally and even lived in a few. Currently, I reside in Paris, which I believe is objectively the best city in the world. My journey has been quite successful so far. I started by polishing glasses, then moved to bar-backing, poured pints, shook cocktails, and now I’m pouring drinks.”
Outlook Traveller caught up with Kenney for his recommendations on eateries and pubs in Paris that travellers should visit.
