Located on…read morewhat looks like a predominantly residential street, its unassuming exterior hides the subterranean concert space behind its doors. We came to see Russian Circles, a three piece instrumental metal band from Chicago, and tickets were a bargain €14.50 - I guess due to its small size the venue only caters for lesser-known acts. Downstairs through the double sets of doors it's almost entirely dark which really set the atmosphere for the gig. The place gets packed out and views can be limited if, like us, you turn up after the supporting act has finished and are on the mezzanine level surrounding the stage. The amount of bodies down there means it gets hot and sweaty, but you can escape to their small bar for a drink. Don't be surprised if two medium-sized Kronenbourg beers cost you the same as the entry fee!

    I love concerts! The smaller the venue the better the concert. I have been coming to Le…read moreMaroquinerie for three years now and have been to all types of concerts from hip hop to 14 year old pop. Although the venue is great, the bar and restaurant staff is rude. I was very hungry and bought a drink and asked for a piece of bread. The barman told me that the tiny piece of baguette (the size my thumb) was for his real customers. I guess having a drink at his bar does not make me a "real" customer.

I went over to a man working there near the DJ booth and asked if there was more live music on. He looked super angry and like a thug and shrugged and said 'i don't know' . Then I was wondering what to do as people had dispersed .. I saw a couple smoking a cigarette at the back of the bar. Me being from another country and not knowing French laws followed suit and lit a cigarette. It was such a dark and dingy bar that i wouldn't be surprised for patrons to smoke there. When my cigarette was almost finished the same angry thug looking man came up to me and grabbed my hand aggressively and squeezed it hard manhandling me until my wrist hurt and took the cigarette out of my hand and said 'get out! Get out! You are forbidden to ever be in this club again! You have broken French laws. I'm escorting you out!' I have never been treated like this in my life like I was a thief or a horrible person. I didn't know French laws were as such and it was an innocent mistake. I was manhandled and in the USA I could sue this bar for touching me in this way. I will investigate French laws and might file a claim. No one should aggressively manhandle a woman this way. Disgusting treatment of patrons. He could have kindly asked me to put the cigarette out and I would have complied. Never go this bar. Also expensive drinks

Then the manager/owner/whatever went downstairs to do something, but it was in a way that a horse would be more respectful with the public and the musician. After that I've decided I wouldn't buy anything and that I would never go back there. J'y suis allé pour un concert de musique classique. C'etait un concert genial, haut niveau. Pendant le concert, en sous-sol, la musique pop à l'etage était trop trop fort - genre j'ai demandé au staff de faire quelque chose pour pouvoir bien profiter du concert. Après ça, le gérant/proprietaire est descendu les escaliers pour faire je sais pas quoi, mais c'etait comme un cheval, sans aucun respect pour l'artiste et pour le publique. J'ai decidé de sortir sans rien acheter. Seu Facebook les artistes se plaignent du manque de respect e de la stupidité de la gestion...

I've gone to several gigs in this very cramped basement. Before, it was a venue for music you could bet on a horse here, A PMU in the upstairs bar. Gambling on horses was a thing here pre war until the early 2000s. Even during The Occupation. Sadly, the old clientèle was pushed out by Bobo hipsters and Stella Artois. Over the din of bad techno, one can hear the trotting hooves of horses and old men chattering about the races. The patrons of the past are cheeky with the patrons of the present, whispering the names of the winning horses in the toilet. For example I was given the tip "Bet on Pesky Diamond, in the third!!' Sadly, that race took place in 1968 so I was too late to make the bet. As I was walking up the tiny basement stair to the main I noticed what resembled ectoplasm oozing down the left wall. Worth a look especially if you need a winning bet tip and a free phantom kiss from a horse.

La déco est banale mais sympa : néons, vrai zinc de bistrot de quartier, tables en formica et quelques chaises en plastique en guise de terrasse jusqu'à 2 heures du matin.

So the little red door has a cute red door but the bouncer lets you in through another door (novelty observed haha). The man takes your jacket and umbrella (what a gentleman!) and sat us on the second floor. While the space between the couch and the seats were rather small, we were able to manage. I got the permaculture and resilience. The resilience is a club favorite and my favorite too! The way the sorghum, pineapple sage (syrup), pasquet cognac, and savanna rum all tied together was a blessing. I was going to get a third but I was tipsy by my second drink. My first drink was the permaculture and while I was considered it would be strong, it didn't seem strong to me. I love clarified dairy in alcohol so this was a win in my book. It consists of chestnut, butter, wakaze umeshu, avallen Calvados. The bar let's you stay for an hour but if you sit elsewhere, you can stay as long as you want. 5 stars and I hope to come back someday!
