Party Earth Review Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Left Bank, Bistrot des Artistes is an informal and relaxed bar ideal for those looking to unwind with friends on a cold Parisian night. Although green spotlights – coupled with the spiky typeface of the bar’s sign – may give the façade a ghostly feel, any eerie sensibilities are lost ... more

Party Earth Review Part of a chain of seven Frog pubs, Frog and Princess is a no-frills sports bar that brews its own beer and is frequented by a primarily English-speaking crowd drawn in by the home brews, numerous TVs, and loudly cheering sports fans who gather to watch their favorite teams.

Party Earth Review The old adage says never judge a book by its cover, and patrons would certainly be missing out if they judged The Highlander by its unimpressive façade. Tucked away in a side alley behind a medieval archway, the venue is marked only by a discreet sign – but inside is a welcoming, low-key, and authentic Scottish bar with ... more

20s / 30s / Artists / Bar / Cash Only
Party Earth Review Patrons take a step back in time at Le 10 Bar, an old Parisian haunt where the decision to order is always simple: sangria…or sangria. Sure, there’s other stuff on the menu, and manly men afraid of a little fruit will find a solid selection of beer and cocktails on hand, but this bar – founded by a Spaniard in 1955 – is ... more
10 Rue de l'Odéon
75006 Paris
20s / 30s / Alternative / Artists
Party Earth Review The name La Fourmi (The Ant) suits this bar and café well, an unassuming, hipster hotspot that passersby could easily miss amid sex shop-riddled Pigalle’s larger distractions. Very much a local’s scene where artists and music lovers gather for drinks, the venue draws its eclectic crowd from the surrounding area, which ... more

Party Earth Review Built in the 1880s as a boarding house for people working along the Canal St. Martin, this historic structure was taken over in 1938 by French director Marcel Carne, who used it as the location for his film Hotel du Nord. The rest, as they say, is history. Fans and paparazzi followed, and the building continued as a hotel ... more

Party Earth Review Created by three young Frenchmen with a dream to open a cocktail bar in Paris – somewhat of a rarity in this city – Experimental Cocktail Club is just that: a baroque-styled one-room bar that specializes in intricate classic cocktails bursting with basil, lemon grass, elderflower, and lord knows what else. Located on a ... more

20s / 30s / Breakfast / Casual / Darts
Party Earth Review “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 ... more

Bars in Paris are as common and diverse as the people in this wondrous cosmopolitan city, and though the City of Light may be best known for its food and culture – the Paris bar scene c'est magnifique!
International jet-setters find much to love at the chic bars on Rivoli and the exclusive cocktail haunts along the Champs-Élysées, while the always-stylish Parisian enjoys a plentiful array of seductive boutique bars and luxurious mixology spots in neighborhoods all over town.
This shouldn’t imply city denizens can’t be casual, of course, as international nightlife hotspots like the Latin Quarter are practically lined with student-friendly dives and cool bars housed in medieval stone buildings, while steps from the famed Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, everything from kitschy Irish joints to exclusive wine bars hide inside the city’s endless historic buildings.
Bohemians and artists gather at smoky bars along the outskirts of town, while many expats, university students, travelers, and those simply in need of a relaxed evening fill the array of budget-friendly Paris bars, which often feature English-speaking staffs and patrons.
Some of the coolest mixology spots or cocktail dens can often be found along the smaller streets off the main drags, but no matter where one ventures in Paris, the wine is always flowing and the bars are open late.
