New Morning

An upstart by Paris standards, having opened in 1981. Its policy of embracing all kinds of music (jazz, blues, Latin, soul and the unclassifiable), not to mention inviting performers up from the floor, has led to a relaxed crowd of regulars.
Petit Gaulois

Just the place to wind down after a night of joie de vivre .
Pop In

A shabby-chic bar cum nightclub with cheap drinks, friendly staff, a cool crowd and funky DJs.
Quigley’s Point

Right in front of Eglise St-Eustache, this friendly Irish pub serves beer from Holland, Germany, Ireland and Britain.
SanZSanS

Video screens show what’s happening in this trendy, modern bar.
Sidney Bechet

US jazz virtuoso Bechet (1897–1959) settled in Paris in the 1940s and wrote his great tune “Les Oignons” in 1949.
Stephane Grappelli

Paris-born Grappelli (1908–97) studied classical violin, but later innovatively adapted the instrument to jazz.
The China Club

This classy Bastille bar and restaurant has chic Chinese decor, as reflected in its name. The long ground-floor bar has romantically intimate tables and live jazz music is played at weekends. The upstairs bar is like an intimate drawing room. The cocktails are excellent, as is the Chinese food in the restaurant. Popular with Paris’s young and trendy.
The China Club

A long-established favourite, with its bar, live music at weekends, expensive cocktails and all done out in Chinese decor.
The Frog and Rosbif

For homesick English or Anglophiles, this is the place to find real ale and pub grub like bangers and mash, play snooker, to read English newspapers and watch live football and rugby matches on the bar’s satellite TV.
