Café Charbon

20s / 30s / All Types / Alternative

Party Earth Review A former coal merchant’s shop, Café Charbon has been hosting an animated bohemian crowd for over a hundred years, playing host to a chill daytime scene and cozy little late-night dance sessions most nights. The coal shop’s original black iron skeleton and high ceilings have been fitted with elegant lighting, detailed wood ... more

Bound

30s / 40s / Asian Food / Bar / Chic / VIP

Party Earth Review The posh Champs-Élysées is the perfect setting for Bound, a swanky and slightly snooty nightspot where upscale guests are greeted at the door by a well-dressed staff ready to cater to their every whim. Once ushered through the doors, the status-conscious clientele find themselves immersed in a glam-meets-goth interior ... more

Buddha Bar

Affluent / All Ages / Ambient / Bar

Party Earth Review It’s pretty hard to miss the theme at Buddha Bar, where flowers and statuettes flank the entrance and the delicate perfume of fragrant Oriental incense teases the air. But the true experience begins when patrons are confronted by the 40-foot statue of the meditating Buddha that dominates the dining room, and the exhilarating ... more

Café Mabillon

20s / 30s / 40s / Ambient / Bar / Brunch

Party Earth Review Right in the heart of trendy Saint Germain is Café Mabillon, a swanky spot whose claim to fame is that it’s open twenty-three hours a day. And that’s no small claim – in a city where it’s hard to have late lunches and midnight dinners, Mabillon smartly accommodates the diverse work and party patterns of its wide range of ... more

Frog and Princess Pub

20s / Bar Food / Beer / Beer Lovers

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. A long bar, simple dark wood fixtures, and rustic ... more

The Highlander

20s / All Ages / Bar / Casual / Expats

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

Le 10 Bar

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

Le Bar du Marché

20s / 30s / 40s / Ambient / Bar / Café / Hip

Party Earth Review With its signature red-and-white striped awning, warm orange lighting, and garrulous crowd, Le Bar du Marché manages to stand out on a delightful street chockfull of open-air bars and restaurants. Always aglow with activity, this lively Parisian hotspot could be considered the headquarters of the “bobo” phenomenon – a ... more

Le Violon Dingue

Bar / Casual / Club / Dance Floor

Party Earth Review Something of an institution for American study-abroad students in Paris, Le Violon Dingue (The Mad Violin) is an energetic bar decorated entirely in US sports memorabilia that does double duty as a bumping little club as the night wears on. The ground floor offers up a pretty standard pub vibe, with young sports lovers ... more

Le Petit Fer à Cheval

20s / 30s / Bar / Breakfast / Chic / Wine

Party Earth Review The intimate Le Petit Fer à Cheval (“The Little Iron Horse”) has managed to create one of the best venues for conversation in all of Paris, mainly because the place is so tiny that patrons can’t help but get up close and personal with everyone around. The casual, chic atmosphere is supported by a disjointed décor largely ... more

Lizard Lounge

Stolly's

20s / 30s / Beer / Casual / Dive / Expats

Party Earth Review Part pub and part Brit-punk dive tucked away on a modest little side street of the Marais, Stolly’s is a friendly neighborhood bar with just a dash of grit.

La Fourmi

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

O'Sullivans by the Mill

20s / 30s / Burgers / Casual / Dancing

Party Earth Review Located next door to the famous Moulin Rouge, O’Sullivans by the Mill is an English-friendly bar and music venue, but patrons shouldn’t be fooled by the name – this isn’t a traditional Irish pub. The biggest Anglo-Saxon bar in Paris, O’Sullivans is a modern, hip mega-pub with just enough Irish style to stay true to its ... more

Paris Bars Overview

Candelaria - Bar | Mexican Restaurant in Paris

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.
