A welcoming comfortable kind of place (for maximum
enjoyment, avoid the crowd on Saturday) that's not too expensive
but still a bit original. Behind a normal bar-like exterior, you
will find something slightly different. Enjoy the cartoons and don't
be surprised to get a drink served in a baby's bottle.

This place seems like nothing special at
first glance -- apart from the excellent dinner for such a fair
price. But at 10pm this restaurant transforms itself into a café
theatre worth the visit. Guided by Philippe, your master of ceremonies,
you will be led through the looking glass to a fable-like world
of magic and fairytales come to life for grown-ups. And you are
invited to take part in the fun!!! Make reservations for a table
near the stage.

Purple is more than just a color here.
It is a place, an esprit, an electric ambience running on a current
of Parisian house, funk and techno. Even if you're not into the
music, the décor makes this place a truly "must see"
-- psychelic forms on deep red velours -- and don't forget to visit
the toilettes.
What more to say about this purple place?
It's simply purple -- a purple place with psychedelic décor,
cutting edge music, fantastic food and hallcinegoenic expositions.

With the Mosque and related boutiques nearby, think North Africa
This is an ideal place to chill for a bit between classes or late
in the afternoon. Time to play a few classic board games like Monopoly,
Scrabble or Pictionary -- all available here in French or English
And if you don't know how to play, one of the regulars will be glad
to tell you how.
La Fleche d'Or

97, rue de championnet,19eme
Métro : Porte de Clignancourt
Tél : 01 42 57 30 66
Tuesday - Saturday 17h-2h (concerts Thursday - Saturday 21h)
This little place may not seem like a "destination",
but if you want to check out a place where French rockers actually
hang out to hear local bands playing some original music, Les Blues
Heures should be on your list.
Downstairs from a typical
cafe bar, is a decent sized salle de concert. And a pretty decent
ambiance too.
Usually only around 20 FF to get in and
15 FF for a beer.
Pop IN
105, rue Amelot, 11éme.
Métro: St Sébastien Froissart
Tél: 01.48.05.56.11
Tuesday - Sunday 16h30 à 1h30
This bar, in the quartier d'Oberkampf, is a strong supporter of
the independent scene. Check out the "soirées branchées"
with no cover on the weekend.
If you are in the neighborhood, you should
stop in, even if just to have one drink. Le Pop In has four different
rooms, each with its own ambiance. There's the ground floor bar,
where the locals chill and chat with the barman, a comfy lounge
area one flight up with couches and armchairs where you can chat
with each other, and a dancefloor where you can well you get the
idea...
Beware of crowds on the weekend (oh, and
if your French is good you might want to try this "Pop
In Test")...
Tonnerre
101-103, rue Oberkampf, 11ème
Métro: Parmentier
Tél: 01.49.23.53.76
Daily 17h à 2h
Another decent place in the quartier d'Oberkampf to pass some time
at the bar. The small size of the place (30 people is beginning
to be a crowd) means there's quickly a sense of community here --
so be prepared to participate in the discussion even if you are
a stranger. There's good music, beer at 15 FF and you might even
make some new friends
Abracada Bar
123, av Jean Jaurès, 19 ème
Métro :Laumière
Tél: 01.42.03.18.04
Tuesday - Sunday 14 h à 2 h.
Here's another one of those out of the
way (and we mean that most sincerely) places worth stopping by.
Can't miss the colors at the angle of la rue de Crimée et
de l'avenue Jean Jaurès.
The idea of L'Abracada bar is to have a
space dedicated to artists and their performances. So never lacking
for something interesting here. And beer's 15F, with no cover charge.
The current program is scène ouverte
wednesdays (soirées "turbulences énergétiks"),
Télé-Bocal on Thursday, théâtre, court-métrages
(à venir avec les élèves de la Fémis),
soirées à thème, concerts on Friday and Saturday.
