The current Places result still names the exact cocktail bar and matches its Place ID. The entrance number remains disputed: Places says 1bis Rue Lallier, while Le Fooding's page, updated 4 August 2026, says 1 Rue Lallier. The score is tied to the exact bar listing; the address conflict remains open.
