Reviews
My new favorite bar in Paris! A gay-friendly pub doesn’t make much sense on (old-fashioned) paper, yet it works incredibly well here. The staff is super nice & helpful (I invite you to ask them to recommend you drinks). The drinks are REALLY good (the 6/7 is delicious!). The patrons are fun, laid back & easy-going. Wonderful experience, highly recommended, will come back with great pleasure
This is one of the best bars I’ve ever been too. Great service and the bartenders know how to have fun. I will definitely be coming again. Bingo night is definitely a night to remember.
Very nice bar with good service. They have jams on Mondays and open mics on Wednesdays. Sometimes the open mic on a Wednesday is downstairs in a seperate area and it's so much better that way. They also have nice cider and a happy hour until 21:00 which is pretty nice.
Just drinks with Doritos at the bar, but I believe we saw people bring their own takeaway. Great crew at the bar with lots of music events. We went back twice because the vibe of the place was so spot on. Felt very welcome by locals and even joined into the Wednesday open mic night downstairs. There is a bit of smoking on the edge for those with asthma, but if you move deeper, there is no problems.
Wonderful find right in the middle of Paris. Atmosphere was amazing and the drinks on tap/in bottles were abundant. Staff were also really pleasant. 10/10
