Bars

Ice Kube is one of the coolest bars in Paris, literally. Kept at a refreshing -12C, you will be given special coats to wear to keep the frost-bite at bay. For a fixed price you half an hour in the bar and four tasting cocktails. Find it near the La Chapelle metro station and be sure to make a reservation as it gets booked-up quickly!

Do you enjoy reading while drinking your wine? Then La Belle Hortense could very well be your new idea of heaven. Named after the novel by Jacques Roubaud, this cosy bar/bookshop is the perfect place for a rainy Paris afternoon – perch on one of the bar stools or make yourself comfortable in the back room.

For a special occasion or just a good meal followed by some classy cocktails then the Mezzanine Bar at Alcazar is the place to go. After a delicious dinner downstairs, head upstairs for cocktails and champagne overlooking the bar below. DJ’s play until late from Wednesday to Sunday and you can have the set menu for dinner

Clubs

There are underground clubs and then there is Showcase. In an old naval hangar beneath the Alexandre III bridge in the Champs Elysees, you will find this glamorous club overlooking the Seine where you can hear the very best in house and electro music. If you are used to partying until dawn then you might be able to stay up until the club starts serving brunch on selected mornings.

If you’re determined to do some celeb spotting in Paris the VIP Room is one of your best bets. This exclusive club is strictly on a reservation only basis and you will need to dress to impress! Open from Thursdays to Saturdays from midnight until 6am, 

Live Entertainment

If it is a show you’re after then where else springs to mind than the Moulin Rouge.

Dinner on one of the small round tables, adorned with the red lamps that are synonymous with the windmill, followed by the Féerie show will be an unforgettable evening in Paris. See the jewelled, feathered dances and enjoy the sumptuous menus at this famous windmill if you want to experience traditional French cabaret.

Is jazz is more your thing? Then head to New Morning near the Chateau d’Eau metro station. Eat, drink and be merry and start your night off at this atmospheric club. Gigs begin at around 9pm, so get there at about 8 if you want to eat before.
