It's fine, but like all Paris gay bars half of the bar staff and clientele are friendly, or at least neutral, and half are obnoxiously/ aggressively rude, even when you do speak French and are polite to them or around them.I do enjoy this bar, but like all 'bear' bars in Paris, do not expect the friendly fun welcoming atmosphere that exists in every other bear bar around the world. If you manage expectations and order in French you can have an 'ok' time.Lester Mass

If you’re a tourist, stay away from this place. The older, short bartender (Anthony, I think was his name) was extremely rude. I’m pretty sure I was drugged there because I went from having a pleasant conversation to being unable to walk within a few minutes. I walked by next day, and he couldn’t even look at me in the eye. They only welcome older and French speaking locals. It’s a touristic area, and they expect people to speak French well for a 4 days weekend in Paris? I had worked with so many French tourists in the USA, and most of them didn’t speak English, but it wasn’t a reason to disrespect them or treat them poorly (we go out of our way to make sure they’re well taken care of). If you don’t want tourists in your establishment, make it clear; plenty of friendly options around. DO NOT TRUST HIM, you will regret it.Alen Albinovic

So professional staff. Good music. Amazing DJ (Old, but gold). Thank you so much. Special thanks for big Aperol (I never drink this big one - like a natural “beer”). Love you guys. KissBrett Moseley

Reasonable local bar. Some service not too friendly to non French speakers. Other bars in the area are much more welcoming.T B

Cox is a very fun bar, I was there in the summer so everyone was standing out on the sidewalk talking and having a good time. Also, the bartenders are very nice so you will feel welcome. Try it out!snowstorm snowflake

This bar was okay. The clientele was older and the drinks were just okay with an alcohol:price ratio that left much to be desired. There was extremely...Matthew C.

Great casual gay bar. Amazing music ranging from classic disco, to house edits, and even some Kylie. Very kitschy decor makes for a great atmosphere. Half...Jessica O.

What a great place! You can't beat a happy hour that runs until 10PM and after scoring a little high top table in the window, we settled in for a while....
