Bus Palladium

My Take: Calling all rock music lovers and weekend warriors. Make your way to Bus Palladium! Located in the Pigalle quartier, a tourist area with a raunchy reputation, sex shops and home of the Moulin Rouge, it’s the perfect night time spot for those tired of typical Parisian clubs. Wait your turn in line and cross your fingers you make it past the strict door to the unforgettable party inside. With a busy event schedule, there are concerts, live bands or DJs to look forward to every weekend. The Scene: The crowd at Bus Palladium is very diverse. There’s a nice mix of locals and expats. Everybody has 2 things in common; they love rock music and they came to have a good time. During concerts, Bus Palladium turns into a riot! It’s hot and crowded, and everybody feeds off the high energy. Wear your dancing shoes because the DJ’s will keep you on the dance floor with a good mix of rock and pop until the early hours of the morning. Cocktails and cuisine: There are 2 bars, both with limited menus. One bar is exclusively for cocktails such as mojito, long island ice tea, blue lagoon and the cocktail of the day. The other bar serves beer. Prices: Bus Palladium is expensive. There’s a cover charge that depends on when you go there and what event/concert they have that night. Cocktails: 14€ Cocktail of the day: 12€ Shots: 6€ Beer: From 5€ What to wear: Impress the doorman! Trendy casual, chic rock, funky, hipster style.
