The best bars and cafés Paris 2nd 75002

After the discreet facade, you will see a large silver counter with a few tables. What's more customary, you'll say, so far. But let's go a little bit, let's go to curiosity and you will finally discover, at the bottom of the room, a pleasant garden floor, with fountain and water jets. A blessing to enjoy a drink or nibble in the neighborhood. Yet the surprise of this place does not stop there. It is in the attractive and large basement room, open on a large and wide glass bay behind which a waterfall runs, that you will most probably was. Here you sing, dance, you dredge, because Le Biz offers many evenings. If on Monday evening you will see the famous karaoke, Wednesday is reserved for the singles, and this time you'll be told, this time, you speed-date at all-go (compulsory registration at www.softdating.com). The rest of the time, let's make DJ's, they will always be there to make you dance.

In a quiet street in the Montorgueil district, Jefrey's offers withdrawal and voluptuousness. Some very cosy armchairs, the magnificent grey sofa to share with two, the alignment of the bottles in the window... We're waiting for you! The barmen are virtuoso, they will serve you cocktails that will make you take off, before leaving at wolf's pace. You will be tempted by the original cocktail creations or by the rich menu with a beautiful selection of whiskies from the main Scottish and international distilleries, fine spirits (some bottles are rare) or even aperitifs, wines and champagnes.

We stop right away! True sake is not a digestive but a light and diversified rice alcohol with aromas from rose to litchi. Youlin Ly, one of the specialists in this beverage, created this 500 m ² house in the Etienne Marcel neighborhood. He brought over 100 references of his travels to Japan, which can be drunk cold, hot or even sparkling. Traditional sake is drunk during meal, cold or hot, in small glasses. The modern sake is rather fresh, in glasses on foot. It is possible to accompany his glass with a typical dish from Chief Makoto Inoue: sancho, sancho (grilled chicken), or niku udon (beef noodles).

In a cosy atmosphere, all of red and black, the K 1 ZE is ideal for before and afterworks. You will be offered a different evening each evening of the week. On Monday, the girls pouponnent, it's Lady's night. And on Thursday? Well, it's the traditional afterwork before the weekend. Ideal to find among colleagues, after a busy working day.

Imagine what an American pub can offer in tribute to the legendary co-founder of the Métallica group, guitarist and singer James Hetfield. It's quite simple, on the one hand, fans of sports retransmissions who enjoy giant screens, and on the other, followers, among other songs, from nothing else matters. Are you afraid of a mixed mix? And yet, the space is quite large and the atmosphere pretty good child so that everyone here benefits from its evening and its pint at lower costs.

Small coffee, right next to Killiwatch, in the stylish shopping area. Attended by a whole bunch of very connected people who find themselves here before going out, Le Café could be terribly unbearable and enough to see me. And not at all. With its th century déco and cabinet cabinet, this is one of the most pleasant addresses in the area. There's a mêle of mappemondes, pretty ladies, African statues, gorgeous cute kids, old maps of géo in elementary school, buried butterflies… All under the high patronage of the bacchanale fresco that orne the ceiling. We are welcome, we eat traditional cuisine. The terrace is perfect for watching the hand bags and other shopping bags that leave the area.

This is a bar you love. Under its appearance as a great Celtic pub, it hides a maxi temple of pop, mini club free of charge, where the prestigious and inventive DJs - Bloc Party, Pulp, Belle & Sebastian have passed. Fans of New Order, Franz Ferdinand, The Rapture, you are here at home. Two rooms separated by the bar are the place. On the entrance side, we're standing up around the bar or sitting in front of the projections of the day, in the middle of a large proportion of the regulars, pretty young and lookés pop. On the other side, we're dancing in front of the DJ's cab to beg to pass its favorite piece, it looks like the London subway at peak times, the music is in addition. There are numerous evenings and frequent concerts. The Truskel is just one of the best pop/rock bars in the capital.

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!

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...

This establishment that has opened since June 2007 is a crucial address for all cocktail lovers. This cocktail bar does not leave you indifferent. Kitsch or "too much" for some (crystal chandeliers, exposed beams, red curtains, etc...) "Great" for others, so you should go there by yourself so as to make your own opinion of the establishment! The Experimental Cocktail Club remains an appreciated Parisian bartending place and the Manhattan is quite pleasant. Don't hesitate to try, especially if you love unusual places!

We know the place on rue Richer, and we love the one on rue d'Aboukir just as much. The concept is always the same: have fun with friends in high-tech, private karaoke rooms. At Bam Karaoké Box Sentier, 5 rooms for 6 to 12 people are now available for all those who want to sing along without getting carried away. The immersive, festive experience is a real success, with touch screens and light shows, and of course the option of having your drinks brought to you.

One of the aims of this Café Joyeux, which opened in Paris at the end of last winter, is to enable people with mental and/or cognitive disabilities to work, and to do so in an attractive way. Cooks or waiters, they are the masters of the place, a nice reality that masks another, less glorious one: nearly 90% of disabled people today are unemployed. The place is great, located just off the Passage Choiseuil, and teems with life: a very nice place.

We would like to live all his life in a roommate with his friendly atmosphere and fraternal evenings. To fill this gap, the Kolok bar is a popular and popular bar right next to Montmartre street. Happy hours, quality cocktails, beer not expensive, house/electro… This is a simple place where you go after work, as we associate with a headquarters. Please note that rugby and soccer matches are in honor some nights.

This is an eclectic and sunny address. The Tékéze'n is a bar where you can go to laugh - on Mondays, a show of stand'up is there - and to dance - salsa nights, ladies night, shooters party… But also to drink: Every evening happy hours allow you to find friends and cocktails at very interesting prices (5 € maximum). Please note that 3 basement lounges rooms are privatisables free if you have a birthday!

As taprooms multiply in the capital, this one is not lacking in assets. The Brasserie Fondamentale, which has developed this great concept in a number of different locations in Paris, offers a vast choice of beers, as well as tasty small plates to nibble on: the ideal way to get together with friends. Here, the beers are largely developed by the team - who know a thing or two about brewing - enabling us to offer some great unfiltered and unpasteurized beverages with unique flavours.

Located between the Grand Boulevard and the Bourse district, the Rock Ball is spread over three floors and 900 square metres. Formerly called the Black Bear and then La Galerie, this establishment offers the broadcasting of sporting events but also after-work on Thursday evenings or clubbing on Fridays and Saturdays, with a generalist musical programme for a very varied clientele. Admittedly, the place is very frequented by the young active people of the district and the weekend revellers, but the atmosphere is not the one we prefer, a little too impersonal.

Gay friendly. On 3 levels, in the middle of this colourful street filled with sex shop, a place totally in limbo, very cosy. It's first a bar on the ground floor, where you can spend some time with live or electro music (with DJ some evenings), an original cocktail card, champagne pools, hot or cold tapas. In the basement, at the programming, another bar dedicated to evenings or tea dance. The first one is a very sober Franco-Thai restaurant with seats.

Magali and Constant, two former of the Annexe, have opened this bar very… cosy. The queen of shakers and the king of tapas associated in a warm setting. Happy hour from 17 am to 21 pm. For small troughs, charcuterie or cheese at 7 € and 11 €, various bruschettas at 5,50 €, and snack (hamburger, club sandwich) at € 8.

A new destiny for this vast 1,000 m² venue just off the Grands Boulevards: Brique Machine! The dynamic team, which already has establishments in the provinces, has taken over this colorful venue, which can accommodate 300 people. Following the taproom principle to the letter, you'll find beers brewed on site (many with unique flavors) and a menu of small dishes to nibble on or share with friends (the preferred option here). In the evening, the atmosphere is festive as hell.

Go to Rue Montmartre, and if possible take the pedestrian walkway that leads quietly to Les Halles. This is where you'll find the Café Noir, a small local institution. It's a lively place where you can enjoy a drink all day long, with a vast terrace stretching out onto the street in fine weather, and at particularly attractive prices - which isn't always the case in the area. Add to this a rather high-quality snacking offer, and you've got yourself a sure bet.
