About Banana Café

Head on over to Banana Café in Les Halles. This place isn't just another dot on the map; it's a tropical-themed haven for the gay community and their pals, complete with all the faux palm trees, coconut cups, and buoy decorations you could ask for. Banana Café's been around the block, making waves back in the day with TV spots and celeb sightings. These days, it's the go-to spot for anyone craving a blend of casual drinks and wild nights, thanks to its themed bashes and drag queen extravaganzas. And let's talk about those happy hours – €3 pints from 6-11 PM, though you might have to wave a bit to catch the bartender's eye. Open daily from the early evening till the crack of dawn, this spot draws in a younger crowd looking for a break from the usual Marais scene. Post-happy hour, the terrace action moves indoors where the dance floor and go-go boys ramp up the energy. Depending on the night, there might be a cover, but it's all in good fun and well worth it for the vibe.

Stopped in for a quick drink before dinner and it was just fine. We got cosmos and they were absolutely not the right recipe but the drink was still decent. The vibes are cool on this block and we sat outside which was nice for relaxing and people watching.

Staff was friendly, and bar/drinks was okay but the bathroom was really dirty. Would probably check out another bar next time Im in the area.

Standard gay bar, with pricey drinks and good music. Lots of other options around it if you aren't feeling its vibe. Great dance bar though! If you're...
