Café Lutèce

This little bistro would be totally unremarkable if it weren't for the location, on the north bank of Ile Saint-Louis, where you can watch the colours of the sunset light play over the towers of the Hôtel de Ville as you enjoy a glass or three of beer or house wine, or maybe a cognac.

Address: 33, quai de Bourbon

Bar Hemingway
Hemingway tried to drink here once per week even before he made it big. In August 1944 Hemingway made a booze-powered drive into Paris ahead of the advancing Free French 2nd Tank Division to "liberate the Ritz", and specifically the bar which was shortly thereafter renamed in his honour. Today the bar is considered by many to be one of the best bars in the world, in no small part due to the bar-tending skills of Colin Field, who creates elaborate cocktails as a fine art, and with the rest of the staff is skilled at bringing his guests together in conversation.
Expect to pay €30 or more per drink

Bataclan
Ba-ta-clan
Attend a concert or have a drink at this popular café-concert music hall inaugurated in 1865 featuring brightly painted Chinese architecture. Always attracting a young crowd, the Bataclan has regained the splendor it once enjoyed and now books many emerging hip and rock acts. The café on the ground floor is outstanding, perhaps even better than in the old days. A memorial honoring those 90 persons killed in a terrorist attack on 13 Nov 2015 is across the street in a small park.

Bateau Phare
Batofar
This little red lighthouse boat hosts dance and chill electronic music and other multimedia cultured events and has been one of the coolest spots around for some time. It was closed in or around 2018 but reopened in 2024 under a new name, "le Bateau Phare," that sounds just like the old one, "le Batofar." The dance floor is in the hold, a restaurant is above it, and the lounge on the upper deck. There is also a restaurant on the quai called "La Terrasse" that is open from May to October.
concert: 19:00–23:00, club: 23:30–06:00
