Party Earth Review: A former coal merchant’s shop, Café Charbon has been hosting an animated bohemian crowd for over a hundred years. This intriguing French café manages to meld the old and new not only in its décor, but also in its customers. The coal shop’s original black iron skeleton and high ceilings have been fitted with elegant lighting, detailed wood paneling, large mirrors, and elevated murals depicting 19th-century Parisian life, all of which give the café a certain old-city authenticity even as the modern furnishings bring it into the current century. The same might be said of the clientele, a mix of young and old who create a lively atmosphere and infuse the place with local flavor both day and night. Somehow, it all comes together into one of the most vibrant spots in the area, and makes Charbon a unique setting in which to eat, read, and people-watch, or just to mingle with the colorful crowd.

Café Charbon Review

Tip from Emma:

“If you plan on going to a concert next door at Nouveau Casino, Charbon’s sister bar, then this place is really the best option for dinner and drinks beforehand. If you sit outside, you can watch the line start to form for the concert, so you’ll know exactly when to make your move next door.”
