La Gare
posh, plush cocktail spot
19 chaussée de la Muette, 16ème • 01 42 15 15 31
Q
La Muette Open to 1:30am daily
Housed in a former train station, this is the epicentre
of the smart and moneyed 16th-arrondissement set.
The bar is a large circular room full of red velvet, gilt
and glitz; the restaurant has food that is better and
more reasonably priced than in similar joints. A good
choice for an all-inclusive night out in this part of Paris.

De la Ville
faded grandeur
34 boulevard de la Bonne Nouvelle, 10ème • 01 48 24 48 09
Open to 2:30am daily
A former brothel, De la Ville has elaborate cornicing, a
grand staircase, a massive mural, one toilet that does
not lock and a resident flock of pigeons (the roof's a bit
dodgy). Bohos come for the squat feel and clubbers
move in when DJs perform warm-up sets (Thu-Sat)
before hot nights at the Rex and Vogue, down the road.

La Fourmi
all-day hot spot
74 rue des Martyrs, 18ème • 01 42 64 70 35
Open to 2am Sun-Thu, to 4am Fri & Sat
A lively spot on the edge of Abbesses, La Fourmi is
worth travelling across town for. As busy by day as by
night, it's the favourite of an arts-and-media crew, who
while away the hours under a huge chandelier made
from wine bottles to a backdrop of loud techno music.
A fantastic source of flyers for the best clubs.
4 F2
Le Progres
quintessential bobo bar
1 rue Yvonne le Tac, 18ème • 01 42 64 07 37
Open to 2am daily
It's all about atmosphere at Le Progres - little more
than a small space stuffed with a few trestle tables, an
electric heater and some uncomfortable chairs. Oh,
and an über-cool art-house crowd. Having said that,
it's a very friendly bar where people flit from table to
table flirting and chatting over a
demi
or three.
