Yep! That's the one! We only saw it from the outside as it was closed, but it looked kind of Tiki. I uderstand they put on Jazz bands. Harry's bar has been going for a long time and has always attracted a lot of Americans and Brits. They supposedly invented the Bloody Mary, which is the reason why we sought it out. (Also the Opera was right there and we wanted to take a look at that amazing building). Some reviews of Harry's and it's location are found here: http://www.worldsbestbars.com/city/Paris/HarrysBar.asp "By 1924, Harry's had created the International Bar Flies, 'a secret fraternal organization devoted to the uplift and downfall of serious drinkers.' Its insignia showed a fly on a cube of sugar. There was also a secret handshake for members." Trader Woody
