    Fun old time atmosphere BUT too many people are allowed in. And it seems dangerous for an emergency exit if needed. Music was good. Drinks watered down. Very pricey. No room to dance.

    Entry is 10€ for students, even foreign ones. I didn't have my student id, but I showed my moodle and got in. It wasn't very crowded on the main floor when we entered around 9/10. This was my first time drinking so I'll try to not let it color my review, but let's just say white wine isn't for me (it was very fruity). The bartender was nice and could speak English. Downstairs was where they shot Lala Land. It's MUCH more crowded downstairs, and very hot. If you're standing don't be surprised if someone dancing knocks into you and spills your drink over you. A live band plays and they were good. I liked the "special guest" they brought in towards the end of their performance, can't remember her name. Getting down to the sub level one and the toilets required going down a kinda terrible staircase; especially the one going from the -1 level to the bathroom. Both in the sense that you have to duck if you're tall and the quality of the steps. Just be careful, even if you're sober (idk how drunk people navigate those steps). If you leave, you can come back as long as you get stamped.

    Bar on main level.

    We got there shortly after it opened at 9:30. That was a great call because the line was short. We went in and ordered drinks at the ground floor bar. Then winded down narrow dark 500 year old stairs to the cave. It was a Monday night and they were rocking! It was several people taking shifts at performing on the "stage" tons of dancing. It's an old, old, centuries old cave. The music was so good and fun.

    Cute lively jazz bar that inspired the bar in La La Land! There is a cover charge to get in (cash or card) but if you show a student ID you can get a discounted cover. It was a really fun experience -- the best part is dancing with the locals, so don't be afraid to move your feet and don't shy away when someone wants to dance with you (they're probably not being weird, they just want to dance). It is really touristy though, so that's something to keep in mind. I heard English being spoken more than any other language and it was filled to the brim with Americans. I honestly wouldn't go back, but I'm glad I went at least once.

    Great jazz bar in the Latin Quarter. Live music in the cave downstairs and a great vibe.

    Really disappointing! While I can appreciate the history and the significance of this place I wouldn't visit again. Firstly there is a cover to get in (16€), and the cocktails are on the more expensive side (12€). The Moscow Mule was so sour that I couldn't drink it. The real bummer was how crowded it was! The cellar downstairs where the band plays is rather small. They let in so many people which causes there to barely be any room to move or see the performers/dancers! I really think they should limit admission/the amount of people they let in at a time. The jazz band playing was actually rather good and I was bummed that we couldn't actually enjoy their set. I would not recommend!

    A speakeasy-style jazz bar that welcomes all ages. The building layout itself is super interesting. The ground floor you enter from seems to be the main bar area where you order drinks. Then go down to the basement for live jazz music and dancing! The spiral staircase with the old brick walls leading to the upstairs restroom seems like a secret passageway you'd find in a castle from centuries ago. It was my last night in Paris and I was pleasantly surprised at the large crowd on a late Tuesday night (came in almost at midnight). My partner and I couldn't find seats at the beginning but people come and go pretty fast here. The ambiance is casual and there's no pressure to order drinks or anything, but there is a 13 Euro cover fee which is very reasonable to support the jazz bands that perform here. One of the best things about this place is the crowd it attracts. Everyone is friendly and welcoming and the dance floor was constantly moving. I've never seen such amazing swing dancers before!

    We spent four evenings visiting Jazz clubs in Paris on our most recent trip. If you're looking for a lively jazz club with dancing this is the spot!

    Just being inside you get an automatic feeling of being transported in time. This place was cozy & intimate. The live music was great & we enjoyed watching the locals dance. Drinks were great & we enjoyed ourselves

    The exterior.
