About
freedj in Paris is a vibrant and popular destination in the heart of the Marais, Paris's renowned gay district. This trendy gay bar, known for its lively atmosphere and eclectic music, is a favorite among both locals and tourists. The bar spans two levels, offering a spacious yet intimate setting for socializing and dancing.
The ground floor of freedj is more relaxed, with a bar area perfect for chatting and enjoying drinks. The decor is modern and inviting, creating a welcoming environment for all visitors. As the night progresses, the basement dance floor comes alive with rotating DJs playing a mix of current hits and classic dance tracks. The sound system is excellent, ensuring a great dance experience.
What sets freedj apart is its friendly and diverse crowd. It attracts a mix of ages and backgrounds, making it a great spot for meeting new people. The staff are known for their hospitality, adding to the overall positive experience.
Asked for a dirty martini and was given “a look” (from America, so unsure if that’s not a known drink), so asked for a vodka soda and was served but in a kind of sassy way. Whatever, it’s a gay bar. Went downstairs and danced, which was a vibe, but also people don’t really dance lol, 3/5 at best
I tried a couple of other bars nearby and this one was the better. Mostly French crowd but I managed to meet people who speak English. Really nice vibe, just wish the music was better.

Really rude and misogynistic staff. We were 7 people - 4 guys and 3 girls and as the guys entered first they didn’t allow the women in as they said they don’t want more women than men entering at the same time. We explained that we were more men than women but arrived a few mins apart but they told the women to leave. The vibe sucked inside anyway and misogyny can do one so I’ll happily never return.
I cant believe that this place is so misogynistic. We were 7. 4 gay guys and 3 girls and they didn't let us in because there were too many woman.Can't believe this place is allegedly called part of the community. AWFUL
The bouncer at this club claimed that our friend was too drunk to come in even though he was perfectly fine! He was rude and it felt personal! Do not come to this bar for a good time!
Security did not make it a welcoming place for LGBT, threatened us and acted erratically and yelling at us despite us being completely sober. Trust the other reviews— this place and its staff are truly awful
Security started harassing me the moment I walked in, followed me upstairs to the bathroom and banged on the door while I was still using it to force me to hurry up only to go in himself. Then he came downstairs and got in me and my friends face and shouted in french and put his hands in our face threateningly. We ran out the bar feeling like he was looking for physical confrontation without finishing our drinks. Stay away
3 bouncers seemed extreme, never seen that anywhere else so made me wonder if this place was that nice if it needs that level of securityAnyway, we greeted them, they were pleasant, opened the door for us. Went straight to the bar to order and then one bouncer just followed us in and told us to leave.Reading the reviews now as I was curious, it’s clear it’s normal for this bar. Bouncers are regularly called out for being terrible and violent which is shocking. And even though I didn’t get as far as ordering I am glad I didn’t as it sounds like they are rude and rip people off anyway .So actually I would like to thank the bouncers for saving me money and time as I had a pleasant evening elsewhere.
One of the worst gay bars I’ve ever been to. First, there’s barely any room in the bar & the drinks are just ok. But the worst part about it is it’s geared towards the closeted crowd.The bouncer at the front openly discriminates if you are “too gay” & will not let you in. This is absolutely unacceptable for a supposed “gay bar”. Go to other places in Paris.
I would not recommend this spot. The bar is incredibly small, the drinks are not good, & the place is dirty. In addition, the service is slow & rude. Tons...
Surprisingly unwelcoming gay bar, if you don’t speak French they tease and annoy you. Instead of making you feel part of the community they do the opposite , ironically they only play English music.
If you want to see nasty drag queens in the worst polyester wigs you've ever seen.. well this is the place. Rude, nasty and untalented. Pretty much sums up this place.
Awful drag queens with the nastiest polyester wigs you have ever seen. Nasty place with even nastier wigs. Avoid this place like all decent people do.And buy a better red polyester wig
Great little place to start the night. I was solo. The crowd was good - there's a downstairs dance area that was packed. Stayed on the ground floor and enjoyed a drink or two. Staff seemed friendly and fine to me (a foreigner). This place definitely isn't 1-star. Would like to go back with a group of friends and make a good night of it.
Not sure where all the whiny negative reviews are from. I’m a foreigner and had a great time—cute guys (who were friendly!) and bartenders were fine. Great bar! It is pricey though.
Started the night the first round of drinks we paid 17.60€. Every time we ordered an other round, the same drink get magically more expensive. We ended up for the same round paying over 30€. Music is nice but not worth it to be treated poorly.
Me and my younger POCBF went several times recently on a trip and were treated rudely and stupidly by three different bartenders, the three times we went....
Bartenders are extremely rude towards foreigners. They skip them or make fun of them. Place is very small and you can’t even dance. Price for beers and cocktails is very high for the quality you get. I strongly recommend to skip this place if you’re looking to have a good time.
So disappointed as this was one of the nicest places. My drink was over €20 and at midnight they allowed a dog in - I am allergic so had to leave. Not to mention it smelt really bad and the bar staff were getting it to dance around. Do not care who finds it cute it is a dog at midnight in a bar/ with club music. Owner too far gone to care.
While wandering around Le Marais on a Sunday night after my friends all went home to sleep, I was told by a patron at a different bar, that if I was looking...
