Often lacking inspiration, we find ourselves at the same table, the same bar, the same neighborhood, with the same people. Since it's easier to change places than friends, Le Bonbon offers you a selection of quirky bars that truly break the daily routine.

 Le Fitzroy - Petanque Paradise

Far from the exclusive places of the capital, Le Fitzroy, a huge living venue in the 11th district, aims to bring people together, inviting you to relax on the sofas and enjoy the perfectly sourced bar drinks. Its two petanque fields bring a touch of the south to the city. Whether you prefer shooting or pointing, this place will become your new playground. At nightfall, the venue turns into a club, making you dance until the early hours.

 

Le Fitzroy
49, rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine - 11th

Le Perchoir – The rooftop of Paname

A classic. Located at the top of a building in the 11th arrondissement, this place offers a panoramic view of the capital and its rooftops. The apéro (pre-dinner drinks) is the keyword, no matter the weather: in winter, the terrace is heated, and in summer, your tan won't be affected by the shadows of the buildings. If you're hungry, the restaurant on the floor below allows you to regain your strength.

However, some tips: arrive early as soon as the sun rays appear, bring a good budget, and don't be allergic to mustaches and plaid shirts... It's trendier than a regular bar.

Le Perchoir 14 rue Crespin du Gast 11e 
From Monday to Friday from 6pm to 2am, Saturday from 4pm to 2am, Sunday From 4:00pm to midnight

Le Café des chats – Catmosphère

At the cat café, the concept is simple: a lounge, a menu, lots of cats freely roaming around. Sounds amazing! You can have tea, coffee, a glass of wine or a coke, and enjoy a salad or a savory pie while petting the kitties. But beware, the cats are the kings here, and you are not allowed to bother them or feed them. They decide. You can already meet them on the website. Reservations are highly recommended.

The Cat Cafe Located at 9 rue Sedaine, 11th 
From Monday to Sunday From 12:00 to 22:30 (on Friday and Saturday until 23h)

Vertical Art - Climbing Paradise 

In the heart of the 13th, you will find Vertical'Art, a hidden gem of 2,000m2 that will delight both young and old. While sports enthusiasts enjoy one of the largest climbing gyms in the capital, food lovers can indulge in the bar and restaurant area, open 7 days a week. A little climbing session between beers, isn't that great? In short, this is the new trendy spot that is likely to quickly become your next hangout!

Vertical'Art
181, rue du Chevaleret – 13e
Tous les jours de 8h à minuit

Le Caveau des oubliettes - Du jazz au Moyen Age

 The vaulted cellar, the guillotine, and the exposed stone walls transport us to the 12th century. Yet, the cellar is renowned for its amazing jazz jam sessions. And that's not something you see every day.

The Caveau des Oubliettes 52 Rue Galande, 5th
From Wednesday to Sunday, from 5:30 pm to 2 am Website

 Le Gossima Ping Pong Bar - Eat, sleep, Ping Pong, Repeat!

As you can guess, at Gossima we never have empty hands. If it’s not a glass, it will be a paddle. Because yes, there, we have heated Ping-Pong matches. Ps: the ideal place if you're afraid of having nothing to say on your next date!

Le Gossima
4 Rue Victor Gelez, 11th arrondissement
Monday from 4pm to midnight
From Tuesday to Saturday from 4pm to 2am

Dirty Dick - Exotic but not erotic

 With a name like that in the red light district, one might guess the type of bar and clientele. However, Dirty Dick is the fusion of Hawaii and kitsch: tropical flower wallpapers, sunset and bikini-clad pin-ups hanging on the wall, wooden furniture, a stuffed tiger in the smoke room... All the exoticism in Pigalle. The cocktails, served in seashell or volcano-shaped containers, are original, elaborate, and very good. Consequently, they come at a slightly higher price.

La Lucha Libre - Catch Point

Without a doubt, the most quirky bar in Paris. In the basement, there is a small wrestling ring where you can fight dressed as a wrestler or a sumo. For once, there will be a reason to fight while drunk, and you'll even have spectators and a referee to channel your inner Rocky for one night. The place also offers Mexican specialties and cocktails, but clearly that's not why you go there. Be careful, the bar is very small, so don't go at 9 PM with your friends or colleagues from the office, you won't all fit in.

The La Lucha Libre 10 Rue de la Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, 5th
Wednesday to Saturday: 6:00 PM - 2:00 AM
