My Take: Located in a 12th century Gothic cellar, La Pomme d’Eve is the only South African pub in France and the ultimate watering hole for sports fans. Upon entry, patrons are met with a steep flight of stairs that lead down into this dungeon. You will find yourself under a Gothic vaulted ceiling and feel like you are in the tough times of the middle ages! The cold cellar walls, simple iron furniture and dark atmosphere are a complete contrast to the lively (sometimes rowdy) crowds that frequent La Pomme d’Eve, and the genuinely friendly staff. The Scene: La Pomme d’Eve has an authentic ambience. It is laid back like the South African culture. Expect to find a casual drinking den filled with loyal regulars, expats, a few locals and students from the university nearby. The pub is packed on any night of a big game. A large projector and TV screens play live soccer, cricket and rugby games. This is a great place to get drunk and rowdy while cheering for your favourite sports team! Besides the live sports, on some nights La Pomme d’Eve offers live music, concerts and open mic events. Move to jazz, rock, salsa, and world music while enjoying a wide variety of drinks from the full bar. Cocktails & Cuisine: Uniquely South African drinks and snacks are served at La Pomme d’Eve. Ask the friendly barman for a Springbok. It’s a popular South African cocktail shooter named after the South African national rugby team “The Springboks”. Savour beers from around the world and the 200 cocktails on the menu. Prices: At La Pomme d’Eve, you can enjoy a variety of drinks at moderate prices. Beer is 7€ per pint and 6€ per bottle. During happy hour beer is 5€. Cocktails are 8.50€ and 6€ during happy hour. Shots are 5€. What to Wear: The pub is very laid back so dress casual. Insider Info/When to Go: La Pomme d’Eve is one of the few pubs that are allowed to stay open until 5am in Paris, so unless there is a big game the early hours are a bit quiet. Go there late on a weekend and drink until the sun comes up!
