  • Vast club on three floors with a generally louche Latin atmosphere.

  • Bataclan

    The concert hall attracts international artists as well as household French names, while the adjoining bar provides beer and meals.

  • This fashionable and sizeable café has three rooms where the walls are lined with paintings and old-fashioned artifacts. The food is cheap but pretty good, and the later it gets the better the buzz.

  • Balajo has been going since 1936, serving up different styles of dancing on different days. They range from Saturday night disco to Sunday afternoon tea dances.

  • As its name suggests, clown-related clutter fills this fashionable, arty hangout. The wine list is excellent and the staff knowledgeable.

  • This is a must for lovers of rare film music, the Rolling Stones and Iggy Pop, with hip tunes and the cheapest beer in Bastille.

  • This bistro was one of the first media watering holes when the Bastille became chic a few years ago.

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

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

  • The China Club

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