Fun and entertainment Paris

How to pass through Saint-Germain Boulevard without quoting the Café Mabillon, which has become a rather chic rendez-vous? It's almost non-stop (the nights are many from a certain time, normal!) You can sit there for a drink or eat - but you will have understood it, the prices are quite high - and enjoy a deckroom lounge with benches and armchairs. The terrace, heated in summer and refreshed in winter, will allow you to enjoy the favorite sport of this clientele: look and show.

How does one of the last few Parisian sex clubs come to the full, including in August, while many local bars attend without the disaffection of their customers? Perhaps because here many things are radically wrong with what we are accustomed to elsewhere. First, the reception is not extravagant, but sober, humble and professional. Then Francis, the boss, doesn't grow to consumption (only one glass is enough to take advantage of the place) and everyone is housed in the same sign, without discrimination. Finally, prices are low, and even very low. And as a bonus, smokers have a cabin at their disposal. Don't forget that Rafael at the cloakroom is really very pleasant to watch. Yet, at the opening, none would have bet a penny on the success of this place, so it is close to Full Metal and HQ (now the Krash). Today, he has created a clientele of regulars with many visitors from province and abroad. It is small and therefore conducive to fast and free approaches. Bar on the ground floor, then 2 basements for fun, some cabins and a cross of Saint André. Every Saturday, from 15 p. m., «Leather and Slavic afternoon», every Sunday, Snike and Piss afternoon… You are warned!

A rock atmosphere and flags for this unique bar reminiscent of the old Anglo-Saxon pub of La Butte-aux-Quails. On the walls, a host of framed posters or objects will remind you of the place's history. Located on two floors, you will find a small square among the young district clientele to enjoy a pint of Guinness or half of Carlsberg. And since beer is so often synonymous with supporters, no fear, screens are present for the retransmissions of great Premier League games!

Old Mix Bar and the newest gay bar in the capital, frequented by young people would surprise before the box exit. Music house and techno, a dark atmosphere and very little space to sit, but it is not in any case the kind of clientele that tends to trémousser under the blaffard lighting of the Enseigne sign which dominates the bar. The area is often crowded and overflowing on the mini in the street. A second shelter in the basement is still calmer. Young and trendy clientele. 

There were several entertainment establishments since 1817, on the site where the current room - seven hundred square places - was built in 1886. She was marked by the period during which Gaston Baty led her, from 1930 to 1943. He set up classics and opened his stage to productions such as the'Opera, by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill. In the following years, the Montparnasse theatre will allow many Anglo-Saxon authors to make themselves known in France: Peter Schaffer, Arnold Wesker, Noël Coward, Harold Pinter, Murray Schisgal… Myriam de Colombi has been leading the room since 1984. Among the shows she presented to us are: The Night Watchman, by Sacha Guitry, with Yasmina Reza and Fabrice Luchini, Le Secret, with Anny Duperey, Pierre Vaneck and Fabrice Luchini, Real Life, from Tom Stoppard, with Pierre Arditi, Evelyne Bouix, Catherine Rich, La Boutique au corner, from Ernst Lubitsch, with Florence Pernel, Samuel Labarthe, Jean-François Derec, Wojtek Psoniak… Le Petit Montparnasse - two hundred places - was created in 1979 in a former frame warehouse. It has created new talents. Trials have been carried out there, some of which have been successful.

Over eighty years ago, the first Russian cabaret in the capital moved to this address. He was named Novy and was a place where expatriates remembered their country with nostalgia. We have preserved something of the atmosphere of that time. During and after the meal, singers, dancers, musicians, acrobats, launchers of Russian and Gypsy knives distract guests in a gold and red decor. Zakouski, bortsch, caviar… The map offers Russian dishes, some of which have a western touch.

Closed since 2018, it reopened in September 2023: the Théâtre de la Ville, now known as the Théâtre de la Ville - Sarah Bernhardt, now boasts state-of-the-art cultural facilities. Inside, the theatre's seating capacity has been maintained at 950, and the same cream-coloured seats have been reinstalled as during the last major restructuring in 1968. The programming is intended to be "popular".

The Gibson's Brothers, the Martinique trio that achieved a phenomenal success in many countries during the 1970s and 1980s, created this famous jazz club with eighty seats. Of this creation under Caribbean auspices remained the taste of Afro music, in the broad sense of the term. Jazz fusion style training is also offered. Some names of artists that marked more than two decades of hot music: Richard Bona, Angelique Kidjo, Monica Passos, Ultramarine, Les Étoiles, Sylvain Luc, Rido Bayonne, Étienne Mbappé, Mario Canonge, Nguyen Lê... And the adventure continues on the same rhythm. Take note: François Constantin the percussionist orchestrated the jam sessions on Monday.

Nevertheless, Baiser Salé is also a bar with terrace that is very appreciated for its generous happy hours. As it is located in a very busy street of the centre of the capital, you have to come earlier if you want to enjoy the terrace!

A modern ambience and guest-guys in this bar, which is one of the oldest in the Marais (almost 25 years old!), just steps from town hall. At the end of the 80 s, he was one of the most popular gay bars in the neighbourhood and one of the first to adopt a completely glazed window. Today, in popularity with Cox or Open, it always attracts a loyal clientele who likes to find themselves at the time of the aperitif. On Mondays and Tuesdays, Pastis and Ricard are 2,50 €. And if after your drink, the mood takes you to dinner and you don't want to run on the other side of the neighborhood, Eglantine opposite will do the business very well - see "Restaurants". Amazing WC because surrounded by mirrors. Mini-terrace. Please note that all holidays are celebrated by theme evenings.

The Club 79, originally known as the origin (in 1936!) the Plantation and later became ten years later the Mimi Pinson, became entirely new in 2013 to become a chic and trendy club, to be one of the "inescapable" places of the Parisian night. It may be considered that the bet is successful, since it was in this establishment that the VIP festival of the Caesars ceremony was organised in 2013.

Le Merle Moqueur is a small, tiny neighborhood address, but since it's also an institution, you'll soon be satisfied. And since the house specialities are arranged rums, sold by the dozen in particular, you can expect to break a sweat. But that's not the point: the atmosphere here is jovial and relaxed, and this is undoubtedly the liveliest address in the area, guaranteeing a good time. Discover it with friends for a drinky crowd bath. One ti'punch, two ti'punches, three ti'punches... and hello to a rude awakening the next day!

Montmartre still has places where the charm works immediately. When you cross the small square and the blue doors of La Jolie Bohemian, you will feel a real feeling of human well-being and warmth. In fact, this bistro offering generous traditional dishes is a good place to stay on the terrace for a happy hour for your wallet. On Friday evening, concerts dedicated to Brazilian music or country for example. Here's an address that everyone likes, whether you're Amélie Foal or Marion Cotillard in Paris in Paris!

Over the last few years, Madame Arthur, initially known for her incredible transvestite shows, has gradually expanded her range of possibilities, to the point of becoming a must-see on Parisian nights. In keeping with the spirit of the place - now associated with the Divan du Monde - we offer you unique evenings: a colourful (and above all, talented) show, followed by a blind-test (Fridays and Saturdays), a singing tour (Thursdays to Saturdays) and finally a clubbing evening with all the French references of yesterday and today.

Beneath its unpretentious bistro exterior, Le Dada is the meeting place for young professionals from the Avenue des Ternes area. In fact, the bar is often full. Suits and ties clinging to their buckets also often spill out onto the sidewalk, onto the street. And if not, locals and visitors alike, who stop off here before heading off to do their shopping at the Bayen market just a few meters away. If you're looking for more space and comfort, head upstairs to enjoy the soft lighting and plush sofas.

100% naturist, the rule may surprise first, especially when the doorman gives you a plastic bag to store your business! But the reception is very comfortable in this small but welcoming bar. We drink a glass and talk on the ground floor because customers are first easy. No worries, you won't put your hands on the package directly, nor will you measure your manhood by trying to measure the size of the object of the crime - delight. And then it's pretty nice to sip an orange vodka in the ass!
In the basement, large mattresses, sling, alcoves, minilabyrinthe, what had fun with one or more comrades. Quite hétéroclite clientele. There are for all tastes but you never get bored!

This café offers rustic, healthy and organic cuisine, served by volunteers. You can eat in or take away, but there is no delivery service. In addition to its culinary offerings, Le Moulin à Café also offers a variety of regular events and activities, including concerts, yoga, jazz dance, sophrology and much more.

Café Jozi has one idea in mind: to offer its customers the best coffee in the capital. The variations are numerous, delicious and have a South African touch that's not unpleasant, nor without origin, since the team comes straight from Johannesburg. On the menu, coffees from the best roasters (Kawa, The Barn, Coutume) are joined by fantastic teas, fresh juices, homemade pastries, tartines, soups, and then (and for many, let's face it) excellent pancakes...

Kozy Bosquet is a favorite with brunch lovers in Paris. Located a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower, it offers a tempting brunch concept all day long. The menu has something for everyone, with sweet and savory crepes, avocado toast, eggs Benedict and granola bowls. Vegetarians will also find something to their liking. Kozy's baristas are also experts in coffee, iced cappuccino, matcha latte and smoothies, which you can enjoy on the spot or to take away.

This boutique offers a wide selection of loose and bagged teas, as well as rare vintages and accessories. You can enjoy your tea on site, take it away or even have it delivered. L'Empire des Thés offers a wide variety of green teas from different regions of China and Japan. You can also find gift sets and accessories for preparing your tea.

Here's a place where the star is the cocktail, which is savored with concentration. And it's easy to see why: in addition to standards and original beverages, at Lulu's they work with absinthe. Several of the cocktails feature absinthe, and that's what makes this experience so unique. You'll also appreciate the cosy atmosphere of the place, where you can sit down with friends (note that the place is not suitable for overly festive and noisy events). As popular as it is, the place doesn't require reservations: first come, first served.

If you're dreaming of pushing ditty in public and friends, but you don't have a lot of karaoke and the Star AC doesn't try you, the 50 is the stage you need. For here on Sunday (except in summer) it is song system: a chorus of past successes in the right mood, accompanied by Marcello à la guitar. If you don't know Brel, for example, on the fingertips, no panic, words are at your disposal. And then, necessarily, having seen his neighbor on the right massacre Brassens it breaks the ice in no time. Homemade cocktails not to be missed. In this small bar in length with two small rooms - 1950 spring déco - there are sometimes also French song or jazz concerts.

The kind of bar you are happy to know and make discover, so it does Latin quarter. Just behind the facade of yesteryear, we are greeted by a jukeboxes that has not yet sung his last Waltz in a thousand times. The bar frequented mostly by students seems to have crossed periods with the peace of a ship. And the bartender holds the bar with the kindness of the captains in the long course. Here we drink homemade sangria; Which is good and not expensive, surrounded by ancient movie posters, on authentic bistro tables, talking a little about everyone between two allers to the jukeboxes and a few steps of dance where you find square. Caught up by the atmosphere, we are often surprised by the closure.

It is the smallest circle of games in Paris, but not the least user-friendly. The Industry and Trade Club for over a century, it allows you to play blackjack, poker 21, punto banco, dealer's Choice and Texas Hold'Em poker, especially during regular tournaments. A restaurant is open from to. In addition, an excellent Chinese caterer operates from midnight to 5 pm and breakfast is offered.

Le Glaz'Art has gradually become a cult venue for the Paris underground scene, hosting electro festivals, concerts-exhibitions by contemporary artists, short-film screenings... This bar is more than just a place to drink; it's a meeting place where different artistic scenes come together. The place is particularly pleasant in summer, thanks to its garden terrace, ideal for smokers. Regular evening events are organised here: see the website.

The team of the mythical Luxury Lace Evenings took the reins of this mini club of the rue de la Boétie in 2005. In the program a box of 300 places where there is a joyful festive spirit but never room. Alex, Julien and Ghislain President of the location, who between a filming party, an anniversary of VIP or a concert by Vincent Martinez offer a festive atmosphere. The golden rule is to know how to celebrate, we don't come to show ourselves, but to move, we don't come to listen to a prog, but for eclectic and festive mixes. In short, the Madam is a concentrate of the spirit that reigned in the mythical Luxury Lace, each weekend, the trio offers a few hundred surprises of energy and positive welcome. The Madam is perhaps the best mini-club in Paris in 2006. What is the most like? After starting from 6 am in the morning!

Warm, or boiling, is the atmosphere of the Magnum dancefloor! Completely energetic, completely sensual, the black and white public lâche lâche over everything that makes good its Afro-African: rap, become, zouk, décalé, house… Excellent dancers give themselves to this address. Take a drink and sit down and watch the demonstration! The good atmosphere is guaranteed. Revellers don't love rap and hip-hop will do better to continue their path.

Open since 1875, it's Montmartre's oldest cabaret, long frequented by the greats: Picasso, Braque, Modigliani, Derain, Utrillo, Apollinaire... In the evenings, in a place steeped in history, it's the wake of artists bursting with talent and generosity, perpetuating the tradition. The air here has become rare in the city, even on the Butte, so dear to the hearts of the old-timers. The place, which claims to be the "living conservatory of French song", has a point. A timeless evening guaranteed!

La Quille, formerly known as le Blue Billard was fully renovated up to date. The restaurant that occupied the floor was abolished. Instead there are five American pool tables and an English snooker table. On the ground floor, six mini-bowling tracks have appeared. A bar on each floor gives one the opportunity to constantly enjoy a drink if need arises. The atmosphere is modern especially with screens showing continuous images of extreme sports. For children, a birthday formula is proposed. €10 per child, two bowling games are offered, sweets and a birthday cake.

The Four Seasons George V Bar plays the classic Louis XVI style furniture, fireplace and library books creating a warm atmosphere. The bartender chef Johann Burgos offers, for example, the "George Fizz", fresh strawberries and raspberries mixed with a guava juice and orange juice, covered with grenadine, all shaké to champagne. Martini enthusiasts will be able to choose from the numerous cocktails shown on the theme of colours: " Purple martini "based on cream and cream of cassis or even" Red Martini "which mixes watermelon liqueur and peach cream. In the heart of the hotel, La Galerie - Flemish furniture and tapestries - offers a nice alternative for lunch at the pace of light and sophisticated restoration, designed by Philippe Legendre. During tea time, a pianist accompanies guests in the room, cocktails are served until the evening in the outdoor courtyard.

How to say? The Corridor is a bit of the last chance on the Pigalle side. The Infatigables's infatigables are getting there at no time, to drink a last drink, and they are still hours later. Everyone is frankly ecstatic, and it talks more right, but it talks! The ground floor is indeed a kind of corridor. In the basement, if the adventure tries you, it's more trash, downright underground, more unexpected. We go to spend a night away from the sanitized places. We're in Pigalle and the place still kept the sexy side of the neighborhood. To discover!

Le Duc des Lombards has established itself as one of the capital's leading jazz venues. Thanks to its exceptional acoustics (unquestionably one of the best in Paris), the "Duc" attracts all the great soloists and orchestras on the international jazz scene. The principle is simple: two concerts are programmed daily, the first at 7.30pm, the second at 10pm, from Monday to Saturday. For night owls, don't miss the "Jams de Duc", with sessions from midnight to 4am on Friday and Saturday!

A few steps from the bottom of the rue Mouffetard, a café that is connected as one does not find much in the neighborhood and therefore necessarily very frequented by the youth of the corner - the college of Censier is not far away. A modern and colourful décor, the walls are united orange, yellow and purple, with a small colonial woody touch. A pretty zinc, large windows, and it's left for endless relaxation in a somewhat bobo atmosphere, a slightly arty arty. The reception is sometimes a bit slow, but always nice and young students are making charming smiles. The music rises as the evening progresses, the style varies according to the tastes of catering.

In the neighborhood it's a bar of guys, bears, moustachus, hairy and for all those who love them. Behind the small tile window, which gives it an Irish pub, there is the bar with the ceiling collection, the video screen above the bar. In the basement, the cellar was divided into several alcoves by metal bars and treillage, sling and a few wooden benches to mater the video film. A friendly atmosphere that can surprise the non-insiders. Smoking corner. Happy hour daily from 19 am to 21 pm.

Located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, Auguste Théâtre is a former rehearsal space that became a theater in 2011. Its intimate setting makes it an ideal springboard for young artists and a place of discovery for audiences. In addition to its charm, its facilities are on a par with those of larger venues. Taken over in 2015 by actress and director Marie Hasse and under the direction of Gianni Corvi since January 2022, L'Auguste Théâtre has all the ingredients of a dynamic stage for tomorrow's talent.

The Politburo Feu went to the West. The interior has been redone to pass from the Polish era of the Communist era to a lounge bar that would be willingly cantine. Gay friendly, du, lesbian, gay and gay. In the absence of the agitation of the twisted folles, what to give the bartender to make surprising cocktails (mojitos to whisky or sour we, to the watermelon), the place, good the "I feel like coming back because I feel good"… like the rest of the warrior before confronting the sharks of the marsh.

An almost-twin establishment with the 38 bar on the same street, this 46 (or "forty-six") bar is undoubtedly one of the not-to-be-missed spots in the sought-after neighbourhood between République and Strasbourg Saint-Denis. Iberian tapas and spreads can be shared with friends, along with one of the bar's signature cocktails. Classic or original, and even entirely personalised, they are made to the highest standards and contribute to the reputation of the place. The place can be fully privatised for your private events.

Creating a night bar without going through the beauf or confusing box is possible, The Next is proof. Stéphane and David have already been there for more than seven years, but time passes so quickly over the nice holidays and the latest glasses on Aurélien's nice mix that you don't see years passing. The Next is a concept with its three rooms on two levels, its vaulted cellar has seen dozens of anniversaries and lively but casual evenings. Once you're down you understand why you call the place the front, except that often we stay there until the end of the night. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Music programming is different every night. Only small defect that resembles ransom: the place is narrow, so we are quickly disturbed by the incessant passages. The smoking is also hard for the lungs. But the next one is a convivial place that you love to go to.

The Billionaire now makes the inhabitants of the 17 ^th arrondissement happy, wearing Jersey. The club moved a few months ago from Pierre-Charron street, but the atmosphere remains exactly the same. As soon as you enter the club with the walls of red, you feel like you'll get a little encanaille. The Billionaire is a club with a human dimension, one can take a look at everything that goes on and enjoy the atmosphere. The leather benches inspired the Baron's bosses for their garden! The room is often privatized by record houses and cinema prods for their events people. A not miss: the extra work on Thursday!

If they are still looking for, we are at least looking for: we found the right address. This bar and restaurant opened a festive air in the neighbourhood. It's all sweet to the aperitif— it's already full of world, it's talking, it drinks blows, it laughs… Oh, it's a joke! -we eat at ease, not close as sardines - because there are enough of those places where we are shoulder to shoulder - and furthermore: it is good! And gradually, we push the tables, we push the sound, and hop, it moves to the fiesta. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The Olympic attracts a young and cheerful clientele. For years, it has been helping to bring life to this multicultural part of the Goutte d'Or district by being a dynamic venue open to all. People mingle happily over a drink in the simplistic setting of a former turn-of-the-century ballroom. Concerts are held almost every evening in the basement, focusing on a cosmopolitan and really lively program. It's contemporary, unique and fresh. A real cultural melting pot, far removed from the stilted atmosphere of some of the capital's bars.

An ancient cabaret in the heart of the Belleville. In the program of this old cinema, concerts - Beverly Jo Scott, Kissy Wète, Vincent Baguian… - or circus cabaret shows for small and large children. This "little cabaret in Europe" is a registered trademark. During performances, we find ourselves at the heart of numbers, just a few inches from magicians, jugglers, and we feel really entertainer for a few moments. Before the light turns off, you can even drink a drink and dance with the artists. Looking at the programming and coming to the Zebra one may begin to understand the of the expression "to make the zebra".

With the close of the intimate at Richard and the opening of his replacement the Yono Bar, we thought of seeing a character of this club located off the street, thanks to the large porch separating him from the Swamp's hustle and bustle. That is not the case. The place has nothing Asian but fortunately everything to celebrate. On the first floor, a small restaurant on the ground floor, a first bar - white white, clear but at the minimum. The once, a first cellar in the more developed atmosphere, is a mixture between the walls of the apparent stones, the conical bar and the mosaics. In the basement, a large cellar with chandeliers and two giant screens for video projections where live, and finally a small restaurant on the floor. The Yono builds on DJ and collective performances and always looks for new sounds.

The Sanz by bizz'art has just been renovated in late June 2016, and changed its name for Le Sanz. And it's not all, there is also a new plant, a new team and a new atmosphere. The cocktails are fresh and homemade. On the music side, the Sanz now offers live concerts of funk, jazz, soul, as well as DJ sets. The place changed name but not atmosphere: hétéroclite and festive! The Resto-bar-club is the only establishment in Faubourg Saint-Antoine to be opened after 2 am. We eat it, we drink it and dance, what more?

A real piano bar with a creamy deco: mahogany and red stripes and beige where one can listen to live music in the evenings. On the ground floor, the jazz is featured around the grand piano. Downstairs, in the vaulted room, genres succeed one another: bossa nova, funk, Latino... for the delight of the dancers. For nocturnal meals, a traditional and pleasant cuisine is being served. Do not be impressed by the quick reception. The staff is very friendly when the place is not crowded. But it is quite busy on weekends...

With its four-pin fashion-shaped design - red light and Toile canvas - and its impeccable bar, Le Rosso could impress the Chaland in search of simplicity. And it would be a pity both the reception and the clientele of this small bar contrast with the somewhat cold - but nevertheless very beautiful - appearance of the design, signed by Sylvain Lacroix. Girls feel good and boys too. It's not great, it's fast, and since it's nice, it's easy to talk to each other while sipping a new York cocktail - Sea Breeze, Cosmopolitain… - or a panther milk, home specialty - secret recipe. The DJ stands at the end of the bar to move the music as varied as possible, without ever being assourdissante. Here we have a few very good evenings.

Krash Bar is one of the hottest spots on the Parisian gay scene, popular both weekdays and weekends. This sex club offers naturist evenings, which are very popular with regulars, as well as themed evenings. The dress code is strictly enforced. You can simply come and have a drink at the bar and observe the atmosphere, or take advantage of the pick-up zones, such as the famous backroom in the basement. Admission is free, as long as you drink. In short, Krash Bar is a festive, no-holds-barred address for fun between consenting adults.

Leave the beaten and tired trails of Pigalle and Abbesses to discover this bar, if not this rare pearl. Because the universe of Marlusse and Rabbit, it's kind of like falling back into the history and cozy atmosphere of our ancient ones, the passion of young people. An old-fashioned wallpaper, old portraits at the walls, a large layer with head and bed turned into double seat, a former hotel counter transformed into a range, all this participen to make this place an unusual place. Add to this user friendliness, humour keys and servie flots flots, and there, you will not find old… uh better! Special mention to the servers of the place that can offer their tour as soon as they can, when the attendance is not too strong (quite rare, even on Sunday!). The staff were very friendly and helpful.

A few steps from the illustrious Place des Vosges is a small establishment at the turn of bodega. Small perhaps, but festive and certainly warm. You'll enjoy very good mojitos, caïpirinhas or cucarachas in a Chilean garden, and sometimes some singers and guitarists add to the typically Latin American atmosphere. The hotel was very close to the city centre and the city centre. In short, the sun in our eyes, our plates and our glasses. Opened on Sunday in fine days.

Manchette, couv or reporter are the names of the dishes, salads or burgers that you can eat in this small neighbourhood bar. What is more normal when you know that the boss is a converted journalist! Here, nothing will stop you from playing the sports commentators, attablé in front of a pint of Leffe, or even a pitcher, since on the screens play the games of the evening. Finally, please note that smokers will not have to suffer cold during the winter: The vaulted cellar has been specially decorated. This bar-restaurant has the merit of having imposed itself next to the celebrated 3 Pieces Kitchen.
