St-Sébastien Froissart)
Zéro Zéro screams Berlin with its banquette seating and tag-covered walls (and ceiling, and
windows, and bar…). Electro and house is the sound and the house cocktail, a potent rum-
and-ginger concoction, ensures a wild party spirit.
LITERARY BAR
LA BELLE HORTENSE
5pm-2am;
Hôtel de Ville
or St-Paul)
This creative wine bar named after a Jacques Roubaud novel fuses shelf after shelf of good
books to read with an excellent wine list and enriching weekly agenda of book readings,
signings and art events. A zinc bar and original 19th-century ceiling set the mood perfectly.
COCKTAIL BAR
ANDY WAHLOO
7pm-1.45am Tue-Sat;
Arts et Métiers)
Casablanca meets pop-artist Andy Warhol in this cool cocktail lounge at home in a former
fabrique de chemises
(shirt factory). Its clever name means 'I have nothing' in Arabic and is
a major misnomer: think acid-yellow coloured decor, sweet cocktails, pushy staff and loud
house music. Its courtyard is paradise for smokers and pullers.
BAR
LE PICK-CLOPS
8am-2am Mon-Sun;
;
Hôtel de Ville or St-
Paul)
This buzzy bar-cafe - all shades of yellow and lit by neon - has formica tables, ancient bar
stools and plenty of mirrors. Attracting a friendly flow of locals and passersby, it's a great
place for morning or afternoon coffee, or that last drink alone or with friends.
CAFE, BAR
LA PERLE
9am-2am;
St-Paul
or Chemin Vert)
This party bar is where bobos (bohemian bourgeois) come to slum it over
un rouge
(a glass
of red wine) in the Marais until the DJ arrives to liven things up. Unique trademarks: the
(for real) distressed look of the place and the model locomotive over the bar.
