Paris · Nightlife

Paris techno headquarters since 1988, refitted in 2023 around a famous sound system. 5 Boulevard Poissonniere.

Small, sweaty and reliably good on Rue des Taillandiers, with an upstairs cocktail room most people never find.

Canal-side hangar of tropical bric-a-brac and rum punch off Quai de Jemmapes. Closed Mondays, and smart casual only.

Rue des Petites Ecuries concert hall where bookings swing from Cuban son to funk. Mostly standing, book the big names.

Open 24 hours, 365 days, since the 1940s. Onion soup and pig's trotters at 6 rue Coquilliere when nothing else is on.
