As a bonafide cocktail maker/drinker/lover the classic lime daiquiri was excellent and the ‘ooh na na’ from their list was a tropical delight. Absolutely proper cocktails and the service was great. The vibe is laid back and cool and sexy and they even chilled our Fernet shots!

We discovered Papillon Cocktail Bar in an early evening on a weekday while waiting for our dinner reservations from another restaurant. We were surprised how Papillon was empty considering the vibe and atmosphere of the place was charm. The moment one walks in their doors, the music and aesthetic will immediately take one to a relaxing chill vibe. The bartender was also friendly and helpful. With plenty of options in the drink menu, the bartender was able to suggest what drinks are hitting off. I ended up with Court’s Cancelled and I think it’s well made. I also find that the prices are fair. I look forward to coming back to this bar the next time I’m in St.Johns.

Best cocktails and affordable prices! Not to mention the vibe, only thing is I wish the place was bigger but that adds to the charm.

Fantastic what Ricky has done with this place. The atmosphere and the drinks are to stay until closing! I'm going back.

What an amazing place for a cocktail. The atmosphere was great, the service was amazing and the drink was top notch. I suggest the Beet Me Up Scottie, it was the best cocktail I have ever had.

We stopped in for initially one cocktail each on the patio but opted for inside, which was a great choice. The music was in point, the decor and lighting relaxing and fun, and watching the bartenders work was impressive. One cocktail turned into a couple because too many things on the menu called to us and did not disappoint. I loved the Ryan Gosling’s complexity and my girlfriend is going to ask me to shake way too many drinks at home after falling in love with the B.I.T.T.Y.

This is a fantastic spot for an after-dinner drink or two (or three ?). The ambience is genuinely magical, with climbing vines covering the walls and all the lighting coming from candles and warm purple grow lights. Music is the perfect volume - loud enough to mask other tables conversations without obscuring your own. The service is great, and the cocktails are well-balanced, delicious and original. This is a genuine cocktail lounge, so expensive drinks and basically no food - and as long as that’s what you want, you’re going to have an amazing experience.

Fantastic spot. Lots made inhouse, passionate bartenders. Solid atmosphere. Mixed crowd everyone welcome. Cocktail menu unique but really well executed and well balanced. Classic cocktails available and on point. At par with other big city cocktail spots and worth a visit post dinner in St. John's. Don't miss it.
If you hate delicious & quality cocktails, thoughtful service, and a warm inviting fun atmosphere - then this is not the place for you!
It is the most intimate and most funky cocktail bar on the east coast in my opinion.
The only thing you’ll regret is NOT visiting this place.

New all time favourite place to stop for a cocktail. So much thought given to every last detail, down to the glass and ice type. Absolute best aesthetic and atmosphere around town.
