This is the most “puro flamenco” cave in Paris100% Andalusia! The place is
very sympathetic and the reception is incredible. Pure original flamencos,
sipping a good Spanish wine, see the owner play the guitar. You’re not in
Paris but in Sevilla! Even if you want a late bite I recommend you the tapas,
particularly the “tortilla de patatas” for 0.55 € . Menu for 21 € .
Kitty
O’Shea,

Here we arrive in Dublin. Where is
Paris? Customs and behaviour are Irish 100 %. You drink standing and the
clientele is very convivial, you will never stay alone. You speak only English?
Perfect! Everybody does here. This
is no “imitation” or “newly done old”! Guinness 3.50 € half a pint. If
your sick and tired of noise you can retire on the first floor for some more
quietness. On weekends you need about 15 minutes to get at the counter, beware
of your toes!

Frog and Rosbif, 116
rue Saint-Denis tel 0142363473
Now it is England! The
Anglo-Saxons invested strongly in Paris! Open every day from noon to 2 AM.
Different kinds of beer: white, amber, blond or red, 100% non-pasteurised malt.
And everything is home made!!!! They are unanimously praised (0.6 € a
demi, 5.50 € a pint). Is this a guaranty of quality?? I will not give my opinion since the
place is visited in a strong proportion by Anglo-Saxon clientele! English chips,
English service, and English cuisine (?). Think what you want ;--)

Tight
Johnny’s, The Irish Pub, 55 rue Montmartre tel 0142339133. Every day from 16-1 AM.

NIGHT
DISCOS
The Rex Club,
5 boulevard Poissonniere tel 0142211193. Open 23.00-6.00 AM. Closed in August.
This place used to be a rock concert
shrine but this is over. The REX is now
exclusively discs playing and you come to listen to the music. All possible
variants of techno in a hall, a little austere and cold, with a capacity
of 500 people. Here you find all the
“flyers”, underground or not, and there is an ambience of conviviality and
cult for “music above all”.
