Le Pin Up

Les Halles / Rivoli - 1er / 2eme, Paris –

Almost lost in the bustling bars of Les Halles is Le Pin Up, a bright little hangout that attracts a continuous stream of stylish creatives, fashionistas, and hip neighborhood regulars.

A sparse but pleasant décor of whitewashed walls, retro 50s wallpaper, ornate mirrors, and a beaded curtain creates a fun and funky environment for conversation and cocktails, but the best seats in the house are the round plastic ones in the mezzanine overlooking the busy foot traffic on Rue Tiquetonne.

Another whitewashed space downstairs features vaulted stone ceilings, a second bar, a DJ booth, and a dance floor packed to the rafters on weekends.

Patrons should definitely stop by for Happy Hour – not only does Pin Up serve cocktails in huge wine glasses, but it has the best champagne deal in town, too.
