Party Earth The Bombardier Review
The Scene
The Bombardier in Paris’ 5eme is a classic British pub that caters to lots of local university kids & expats. Get rooted in Paris with Party Earth.Latin Quarter - 5eme, Paris –
“A taste of England in the heart of Paris” is what The Bombardier claims to offer to its mix of nostalgic Brits and thirsty students, and by the Queen’s knickers, it does not fail to deliver.
Nestled in a snug corner of the Place du Pantheon, the bar features dark wood, brass beer pumps, and plush red carpets that reek – sometimes literally – of Old England.
British cask ales and traditional grub are available to expats seeking a taste of home, while potent cocktails like classic mojitos and Long Island iced teas promise a quick buzz beyond nationalistic boundaries.
The later it gets, the more students from the nearby Pantheon-Sorbonne University pour in with bags groaning under the weight of books. Seating themselves in the cozy lounge, with its red paisley carpet and dark brown benches, these anglophile Francophones largely ignore the TV screens, preferring to discuss projects or the internship they’re about to start.
But quaint English charm isn’t the only strand on “The Bomb’s” bow, which also touts a well-used dartboard and big screens dedicated to soccer, rugby, and cricket, so there’s always a guffawing group of lads ready to watch a match.
The Bombardier is many things to many people – a taste of home, a cozy sports bar, and a local watering hole for university students – but the important thing is, it manages to be all these things explosively well.

Le Violon Dingue (46 Rue de la Montagne Sainte-Geneviève) is an energetic bar decorated entirely in U.S. sports memorabilia and doubling as a bumping little club as the night wears on. It has become something of an institution for American study-abroad students in Paris.
