Paris Gay Bars & Clubs

"Everything is done on foot in Le Marais with a progressive build-up: 19:00 – 21:00: Start at Cox on the terrace on rue des Archives for a drink and to enjoy the neighborhood atmosphere. 21:00 – 23:30: Stop by Raidd Bar nearby for the festive and theatrical vibe. 23:30 – 02:00: Head to CUD Bar (intimate vaulted cellar atmosphere) or Le Tango (retro pop dance hall). After 02:00: Clubbing at Gibus (on Saturdays) to end the night with house/electro sounds."

"A central restaurant, typical French bistro, Le Petit Pharamond quite early, then a drink at Le Cox or Quetzal on Thursday which becomes a night out"

"Le Yono for its incredible cocktails and the team's kindness. It's a very very gay-friendly bar but frequented by everyone. Then comes the Quetzal... because you're sure to meet friends there... or make new ones very quickly! A must-visit that has overshadowed Le Cox, another iconic venue. The Duplex is also not to be missed."

"Check if there are club nights (Vendredixxl, Pump, Docteur Love, Forensics, etc.), depending on the music you like (pop, electro). Otherwise, the Marais bars, Raidd bar (to meet other tourists) or Duplex, more authentic, or even Cox."

"I recommend the bar Le Ju' in the Marais. Good ambiance and very central, good food as well, can be busy in peak times though"

"For queer friends, I meet up at the bar les Aimant-e-s for a quiet drink. La Mutinerie attracts younger people and offers plenty of activist events. For lesbians there's also Elles bar on rue du Plâtre, still in the Marais."

"I'd first tell him about Rosa Bonheur, because early evening is pretty chill in a park, then he can go to the Marais (direct metro) to RAIDD bar or BearsDean depending on his mood/kink, continue after 1am at Tango, the iconic LGBT+ venue to have fun and end the night at Sun City, maybe with a guy he met at Tango..."

"I choose Friday. We start at the VendrediX sur Seine, an excellent spot on the waterfront, then around 9 PM, when it gets more complicated to order, we move to Le Cox or Quetzal to enjoy the end of happy hour (which ends at 10 PM). Finally, after a quick dinner at Les Marronniers, we finish with a cocktail at Yono."

"Le Cox"

"Le Tango, 13 rue au Maire, 75003. Bar and dance floor: very nice and friendly. Le Raidd Paris (23 Rue du Temple, 75004), 6pm-6am. Famous for its shower in the bar! L'Impact (18 Rue Greneta, 75002) with its nude parties."

"I would start with a drink at Quetzal in the Marais where there are many guys having drinks in a welcoming atmosphere. Then head to one of the many Parisian parties to extend the night, notably La Bellevilloise for the VendrediXXL which is a must in Paris"

"I have lots of events planners that I can call after knowing your choice"

"So I suggest to them the bar "Chez Mylène" on a Friday evening, around 7 PM, a crazy after-work atmosphere with a dancing corner to have fun until late into the night, the bar is ideally located just 10 minutes away from the apartment and very accessible by metro."
