A symphony in mirrored glass from American designers Haynes-Roberts, this bar reflects its stylish surrounding and its sheer scale makes the whisky bottles appear to be miniatures. Look closely and you will see recessed storage areas to the side for glasses.
Youd never think a gold-tiled bar could look this tasteful, but somehow interior designer Eric Hughes has pulled it off. But this New York duplex bar is no mere fashion accessory with plenty of shelving, a built-in sink and a fridge, this is a serious piece of kit for the cocktail aficionado.

HENRY JEFFREYS
FOREWORD BY ALEXANDRE RICARD
A bar that makes a feature of the beauty and variety of drink bottles. Designed by Debra Parkington for a bar in a house in South Africa, its all about minimalist lines that draw the eye towards the bottles backlit on glass shelves.
WHEN I MOVED BACK TO PARIS five years ago after a long period abroad, I was tremendously excited about looking for a new apartment. Although I have to say I was most excited by the idea of finally having my own home bar finding the ideal space to house it was my number one priority while I was flat hunting! I even had a name for it before it was built. It would be Le bar des amis, a place for my friends to hang out and the focus of my home. To be honest, Im still not sure if the bar is in my living room or if the living room is around the bar
I am a grandson of Paul Ricard, the man who invented the most popular French aperitif that bears our family name. I wouldnt go as far as saying I was brought up around bars, but every time we visited my uncles and aunts, they all had their own home bars. Some people have a Sex in the City style closet for their shoe collection, or a huge garage for their fancy cars; we had home bars.
Alexandre Ricard (right) with Daniel Gaujac, the project coordinator of his home bar.
My grandfather started the home bar tradition by building one in his home, La Tte de lvque in Provence, located on a mountainside overlooking the Formula 1 racing circuit that bears his name. It was a modest bar with long wooden shelves displaying 40 or so spirits around a mirror, that occupied half of the living room. Thirty years after he passed away, his bar is still intact. I keep a blurry picture in my wallet of the two of us standing there, glasses in hand. The bottles on that picture are still there today, untouched since 1997. As a family, whenever we visit the house, we dont touch Papys bottles, but always open a new bottle of Ricard.
Pernod Ricard, which my grandfather co-founded, is now the worlds number two in wines and spirits. Theres a good chance that most of your bars, big or small, feature at least some of our 350 brands. Our Groups signature is Crateurs de Convivialit, to represent the genuine pleasure of sharing a moment of celebration and togetherness with friends and family. And a bar should be the place that inspires that spirit of convivialit.
My home bar is semi-circular in shape, to make it more convivial and easier to mingle. Its marble base rests on a floor of virgin oak and is decorated with the Ricard logo in the form of a sunburst. The zinc counter is typical of most French bars, but the rim is studded with a beading of star anise and carries my grandfathers slogan, written in his own hand: Faites-vous un ami par jour, or Make a new friend every day.
The stuff home bar dreams are made of Alexandre Ricards Paris apartment. This semi-circular 1930s-style bar is the work of a pair of master craftsmen from LEtainier Tourangeau.
On the zinc-topped counter, a gorgeous stepped Art Deco champagne flute sits alongside some pretty high-grade cocktailing kit, including a Hawthorne strainer and a squat shaker.
A look behind Alexandre Ricards home bar; many professional barmen would give their eye teeth for a set-up like this. Note the enormous cold tray for ice, the sink and sunken chilled compartment to store garnishes.
This bookshelf in Alexandre Ricards apartment hosts a collection of antique shakers. The photograph by Eric Morin shows a detail of the zinc counter of the bar with a quote in Ricards grandfathers hand.
I have more than 600 bottles at home, all of them from our own family of brands. Some stand behind the bar, others cover the walls; I enjoy seeing my visitors stare at them as if they were in an art gallery. The difference is that these pieces are made to be touched and tasted.
The look of my bar changes constantly; its very fluid. I like to refresh it on a regular basis, move bottles around and change the focus of the back bar depending on my mood. Its a great relaxation tool!
When Im in Paris, I enjoy entertaining at home. Apritifs are served at the bar and we generally offer the starter there too. The main course and dessert will be eaten at the dining table and then we will all gravitate back to the bar for coffee, tea and digestifs its less formal and more sociable.
I always encourage my friends to move around the bar, to spend time in front as well as behind, and to mix their own drinks. The whole experience of mixing contributes to the convivial atmosphere. Making cocktails is fun, especially when you dare to unleash your creativity and play around by adding your own personal twists to traditional recipes.
Not a single day goes by when having a bar in my home does not lift my spirits. Even when the room is quiet and empty, it feels as if its just waiting ready and eager to host another moment of convivialit. It makes me want to ask the favourite question of every happy owner of a home bar: What can I get you to drink?
