Batofar Bar / Club / Live Music Venue / Restaurant

13eme, Paris –

Docked on the River Seine, Batofar (Lighthouse Boat) is indeed a boat remodeled in the 1990s to host concerts and a late-night dance scene.

It was such an instant success that a dozen other party boats popped up along the riverbanks – but the original Batofar is the only one left standing and still delivers a consistently good schedule of international DJs and bands.

The club’s location in an isolated harbor doesn’t deter its devoted international and alternative crowd, which gathers in full force to party on the river.

On board, patrons explore the many levels of this historic boat, wandering to the upper deck for a breath of fresh air in fine weather or descending to the bars, seating areas, and dance floors on the main and lower levels.

Since Batofar is an actual boat, space can be tight, from the low ceilings and cramped corners to the rather compact facilities – but none of that stops the energetic crowd from filling up every nook and cranny.

Known for its parties that never stop, Batofar offers a unique, late-night international club scene sure to entertain any enthusiast of music and dancing.
