Great bar with a really fun atmosphere. I came for the pre-party and had a fantastic time. The crowd was friendly, the music was ок, and there were plenty of attractive guys, which definitely added to the vibe. The staff were welcoming, drinks were reasonably priced, and it was a great place to start the night before heading elsewhere. I’d happily come back on my next visit to Paris. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a lively and social evening.

Last night (28-06-2026), we went to this place, and the Black security guard refused to let us in because we were speaking English. Even the French guy behind us tried to help and told him to let us in, but he still refused. He allowed the French guy to enter, but not us. After I did my best to speak to him in French, he finally let us in. And guess what? We said, No thank you!!!

This was genuinely one of my highlights in Paris. The staff and patrons treated us as if we were friends, and we felt welcome and at home. The two bartenders were amazing hosts, and made the evening special for us. I would highly recommend this spot to tourists who want to experience some of Le Marais' gay scene.
