Maximum alert! Your cousin from the countryside just called you, and he’s on his way to Paris. Problem: if you spend most of your family meals listing the reasons why Paris nightlife is the coolest in France, right now, nothing comes to mind. So we’ve prepared a guide to the best bars in Paris for a fun evening.


Where to find a cool bar in Paris?

Whether you're looking for a lively spot to dance until dawn, an intimate cocktail bar, or a friendly place to share a good platter with friends, Paris is bursting with options for every taste. From rooftops to hidden speakeasies, festive bars to cozy establishments, there's something for everyone. Here’s a selection of the best cool bars in the capital, where you can toast and enjoy a memorable evening.


Hide Châtelet

To toast without breaking the bank in the heart of Paris, HIDE Châtelet is the perfect spot! Located just steps from Les Halles, this two-story bar-club is ideal for an evening with friends, colleagues, orto celebrate a special occasion. Its highlight? It offers the biggest happy hour in Paris, from 3 PM to 10 PM every day (and even all night on Thursdays). Choose from 16 draft beers starting at 4€, available in pint or pitcher, cocktails for 5€, a great selection of wine… Everything is on the menu! Get ready for a real show when it comes to ambiance: themed parties every night, DJ sets, and even a hidden bar in a chapel for a unique experience. All week long, the dance floor stays open until 5 AM, with a diverse music lineup ranging from reggaeton to the best of old school. It’s also a great spot for sports lovers, with ten HD screens showing live events in a stadium-like atmosphere. So, are we going tonight?

Address: 46 Rue des Lombards, 75001 Paris, France


Grab Me

Whether you’re a fan of beer or someone who can score half the bar in a single night, these two spots are sure to please you. With one location in République and another in Pigalle, Grab Me is a must-visit for Parisian nights. With 200 square meters of space on one side and 120 seating spots on the other... you can be sure there’s plenty of room to dance and have fun. The best part? An enormous beer wall that lets us help ourselves without waiting at the bar!

Address: 30 Blvd du Temple, 75011 Paris, France
Address: 32 Blvd de Clichy, 75018 Paris, France


La Petite Porte

At night in Paris, there are two groups of folks: those who wander the steep streets of Pigalle and those who prefer to hang out around Strasbourg-Saint-Denis. For fans of affordable pints and nice terraces, the meeting spot is clear: it’s happening at La Petite Porte. Simple and effective!

Address: 20 Bd Saint-Martin, 75010 Paris, France


Le Vert Sauvage

Little brother of our beloved Mangerie and  Rouge à lèvre, Le Vert Sauvage has kept the same electric atmosphere. Serge, the boss, welcomes you with open arms and a little shot of spiced rum to help you quickly forget your long day. You settle into the velvet benches and let yourself be carried away by the tapas menu and the lovely selection of drinks. All the dishes are delicious and refined, and we couldn't be happier about it! And of course, all these little delights are meant to be shared over a good glass of wine and/or several cocktails!

Address: 6 Rue Rougemont, 75009 Paris, France


L'Atelier Saisonnier

As soon as you step through the door, you’ll discover a warm and colorful bar. The products are fresh and come directly from small producers. White ham from Brittany, Lyonnaise rosette, shallot pork terrine, Auvergne goat cheese, pesto gouda from Italy, or even brie from Meaux, it’s a delightful tour de France that Joffrey and his team offer. Served on slate, the cheese boards rival the charcuterie, while the mixed board satisfies everyone.

Address: 15 Rue de Charonne, 75011 Paris, France


Pili Pili

Just like the chili pepper that shares the same name, you’ll remember this bar for a long time! On the menu, you’ll find some pretty original rums (like lychee or pineapple, for example) or even ginger planter. As for the music, those nostalgic for past years will be thrilled because old school sounds resonate all night long.

Address: 70 Rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud, 75011 Paris, France


Le Belair

On the second floor of the famous Maison de la Radio et de la Musique, Le Belair is our beloved spot in the 16th. It boasts an intimate atmosphere with ultra-modern decor, warm lighting, and velvet couches where you can snuggle up while live music groups perform on the small stage… In short, it's a magical place where you can happily enjoy cocktails all night long.

Au Petit Rozey

No doubt about it, this wine bar brings joy to the locals of the 17th. This former second-hand goods store, later used as a laundry, is now a charming little wine spot where friends can enjoy sharing plates. All products are carefully selected, and the wines chosen based on meetings with the winemakers are tasted multiple times. There's no chef here; only Stéphane and Ludivine prepare the seasonal plates, made fresh to order.

Address: 43 Rue Lemercier, 75017 Paris, France


Le Mauri 7

Absolutely the most iconic bar in SSD! Le Mauri 7, with its quirky decor, Madonna posters, foosball table, and pinball machine… It’s a must-visit for Parisian nights and the hangout spot for fashionistas, hipsters, and artists. Yes, it’s trendy, almost too much, but the atmosphere is always incredible, and we love to keep the drinks and cigarettes flowing under the Passage Brady.
