A small club that truly mixes people: old, young, stylish, not stylish, bohemian, bourgeois… Its ‘roots‘ feel is its trademark. The programme is delicately overviewed by Guido Minisky.
An iconic venue, La Java used to be devoted only to salsa but has now opened up to top DJs, performing in an atypical and warm venue.
A small colorful and warm bar behind Bastille. The owner FX set up a little DJ booth and plays rock-psyche-electro sounds, creating a highly charged amosphere.
The place to be if you fancy a bit of rock’n’roll. The place is crammed with indie-pop anglophile hipsters from all over the world.
Le Social Club is a genuine club featuring a super-pro team, with an impeccable programme and a boiling hot audience. A now-rare set up in the Parisian night life, it has to be earned.
A unique location, a kind of chalet in the middle of the Buttes Chaumont park, where you can eat home-made organic food, have a drink on the terrace and dance from 10pm. A must see.

The techno temple for more than 20 years with a killer team and the best sound system in Paris.
Opened less than a year ago by a Parisian creative collective, the venue is beautiful and the musical selection flawless. The bar upstairs is great and the basement dancefloor is electric!
