This Parisian-style cafe and bar has enchanted patrons for over 200 years with its charming courtyard and relaxed atmosphere of living history. Originally purchased to house Napoleon Bonaparte during an obviously unsuccessful plot to bring the exiled emperor to America, this structure soon found its true calling as a watering hole and gathering place for artists, writers, intellectuals, and local characters of all sorts. And while stepping into Napoleon House, you will feel like you are entering a time capsule. The dimly lit, cozy interior is adorned with vintage decor, including antique furnishings and historic photographs, creating an atmosphere that pays homage to the building's rich history. The courtyard, with its lush greenery and fountain, provides a tranquil oasis in the heart of the bustling city.
