great atmosphere and good service from Noha. Can highly recommend for a guaranteed fun night

Extremely bad experience. We booked a table and one by one the group of girls got split up as bouncers aggressively kicked them out of the club. No one was too drunk or doing anything wrong. One girl was dragged out of the club by her wrists and another was pushed over and left with bruises. This is assault and very dangerous leaving girls alone at night in the street. Another girl was spiked and an ambulance had to be called, and she spent the night in hospital. The people that work here are very rude (including the hostess in particular). Do not go here!!! read more

Absolute scam, in line and on their Instagram they will tell you to buy tickets on the Shotgun app. Then say they're not accepting them and you have to pay again or buy a table. Then they charge you crazy amts and act like you didn't understand the language, but when I spoke French they're surprised and tell you some other bs reason they're trying to charge you triple the price. Watch your credit card. read more

A typical parisian nightclub. I don't know if I can say anything about the service; I was let in by a promoter and asked to sit at a private table. The drinks were free which is obviously a bonus. Most of the people were young (early 20s) and french or italian. Not many english speakers. If you are a girl- you must wear heels and black attire is standard. Good vibe for younger people wanting to dance! Not necessarily a place for working professionals read more

L'Arc - free drinks at promoter table - Dance Clubs Near Me - Paris, 75

I was attending this place after the Olympics and they added Champagne to my bill and tried to charge $ 26000 dollars . Yes Alex 26,000.00 Wow they are some real scammers . Watch your bill here they're real sneaky . The French police need to look at this place read more

Do not come here. Went here with my friends we were having a blast until a security guard randomly grabs my arm aggressively for no reason. I now have a bruise on my arm. I was very upset after then my friends and I decided to use the bathroom. While my friend was using the bathroom another security guard is knocking on the door aggressively and opens the door wide open while my friend is undressed. This place is very unprofessional. Super disrespectful. Worst security ever. read more

Great atmosphere, bad deejay. Bad song choices. Makes or breaks a club. I will come back because I will try the next deejay. ‍‍‍‍‍‍

Worst club experience I've ever had in my life, and trust me I've been to many clubs. This one takes the cake as the shittiest most disrespectful club I've been to. We bought a table, paid 200$ each (8 people) and most of my friends got kicked out for no reason. Assuming because we are American and only spoke English, but do not buy a table here. As I was trying to get my friend back in the club after being punched, the bouncer grabbed my neck and broke my chain and then wouldn't look at me after doing it. They do not uphold any morals for their customers and we got kicked out for speaking English. Insane. Also my friend got punched in the face by random guy, and they kicked my friend out for it. Actually unacceptable. read more

A man literally shoved a woman off of a bench right next to me & the other men around laughed it off & were trying to be intimidating. Instead of taking action they escorted the lady out. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND to anyone. Not a safe or fun time. read more

I was hesitant to go here after reading the reviews but was actually pretty impressed. I can't say it was the safest I have ever felt, but it was a lot of fun and the people were very nice even though I was American and only spoke English. I had no trouble just walking in which may have had to do with it being a Thursday. Also, my friend left a phone and they held onto it for her until the next day which was great and a bit surprising. Had a lot of fun and would recommend to an early 20s people looking for a fun club in Paris. read more

I came here on vacation and was rejected at the door for not being french. I was dressed according to dress code and wore head to toe designer and was still told that we had to pay 50$ each while we watched many French women walk in without having to pay a dime. I understand wanting to make sure that your club doesn't get chaotic but how am I supposed to meet people and get better with my French if I'm not allowed to mingle and learn? the staff seemed lackluster and elitist and I grew up in San Francisco, this was worse. read more

On August 28th in Paris, I left my hotel in this dress on my way to a nightclub. I arrived at @larcparis with a female American friend and a male Parisian/African friend who attends this club frequently, intended on purchasing a table, and also knows almost everyone at the door. My female friend (who is also black) and I were told that what we were wearing did not meet @larcparis standards and that we needed to change if we wanted to get inside. (They later said it didn't matter if we changed or not, we still wouldn't be allowed in.) As we looked around, we saw many Caucasian skinny women wearing the same type of club attire as us that were able to get in fine, as well as some that looked raggedy as fuck (sneakers, casual clothing, etc.) and still no problems at the door for them. There are also many examples on their IG of other lighter skin and slimmer looking women inside of L'arc that are wearing "risqué / skimpy" typical outfits worn to clubs. (Swipe to see.) I am aware that French culture is a bit more conservative than America's but it is very clear we were denied entry into @larcparis simply based on the color of our skin and/or the shape of our bodies. What's even more disrespectful is that Thursday's at L'arc is the largest hip hop event in Paris. @morelifelarc How could they devote an entire night to black culture by playing OUR music but not allow black women in their club? Completely ridiculous and speaks volume to how cultural appropriation works. On top of that, the bouncers are black men being used as pawns to enforce these racist ideals. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. Avoid avoid avoid. read more

L'Arc - The dress I wore - Dance Clubs Near Me - Paris, 75

Avoid this club at all costs. The manager Alex arranged for a table. He kept coming up and pouring the tequila that was around 2,000-3,000 a bottle for him and the servers. I was shocked and angered by this. My friend starting acting really weird and stumbling around even though he had t much to drink and we realized that the servers must of put a roofie in his drink as they were the only ones pouring our drinks..my friend was so sick and he's a person who can handle his alcohol. Our bill was 18,000 which is so outrageous- they were emptying the bottles and kept bringing new ones even though we insisted we didn't want. This club is a bunch of scammers. Never ever in all my life have I ever experienced this in any club with table service.. please don't make the same mistake we did and go here. read more

If you are skinny, white and have money you should be fine. This club is blatantly racist and discriminates on everyone who does not look like a high end model or a sugar daddy. This club was such a joke. I arrived with a friend ( looking good af, might I add) and we were told that we had to be on their "guest list" and that is was already full to capacity. This would have been believable if it wasn't only 12am, but at 12am your already full to capacity?? I think not. We then met a group of beautiful Parisian girls who couldn't get into the club because they had a curvy friend in the group. ( she wasn't even fat, she was like fashion nova thick). The men at the door refused to let her in and every other black person who got on the line. I'm not surprised because Paris is a very racist and rude place. Won't be going back there and to be honest Even if they let me in I wouldn't spend a penny of my hard earned money investing in white clubs who turn their nose up at black and curvy people. read more

L'Arc - Dance Clubs Near Me - Paris, 75

This place blatantly discriminated against anyone speaking English. We show up suited up and got through the entire line up to the entrance, but because we spoke English they threw us out. Based off of other reviews, it seems like this place is known for that. read more

Got roofied there. And after talking about it around me,a few of my friends (guys and girls) did too. Besides safety reasons, this place is just one of the worst : Pretentious scumbags and hookers staring at each other unable to hide their profound boredom. Go there if you are looking to spend ridiculous amount in cheap alcohol surrounded by pretentious people and dont intend to dance. read more

This place is terrible! I would never recommend this place, as there are so many better options for clubbing in Paris. First off, the bouncers here are absolutely ridiculous and rude with a real attitude problem. I have been to many clubs throughout the entire world and usually always do bottle service, this place was no different in that context. Secondly, the location is cool but not all that impressive at all, there was a bunch of wannabes and not even that great of a view of the Arc as the fence is closed off for about 8 ft in height. Honestly, this place is as sleazy as it comes and I would never recommend this place to anyone, neither friend nor foe. Stay as far away as possible from this establishment and Google other nightspots for a better overall night and experience. This place does not compare with any of the clubs in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco nor anyplace else in Europe/world. Le Duplex is literally across the street and is much better in clientele, bottle service and staff. Pros- Near arc de triumph Cons- Everything Crappy bouncers Bottle service Views Music (hip hop top 40) Service Price Bartending Lots of wannabes read more

Arc: For me, its all in the name. Kind of like Toulouse. haha kidding! Well kind of? Coming from LA where clubs rise and fall every six months like the changing of the seasons, you can't help but become a bit of a snob no matter where you go only because you have experienced so many fail. L'Arc is supposed to be THE club, trendy, elite, jet-set, but to me it doesn't give off that vibe on the interior. You might as well be in any club in LA, they are doing the same thing: letting hot girls in and keeping ALL guys out unless they have connections or they have bought a table before hand. Pros: What sells this club for me is that it is RIGHT next to the Arc de Triumph. Literally. Cons: No dance floor, difficult to get cabs late at night, no real point going unless someone in y our group has a table because otherwise there is no where to sit. Oh and ps: I think the music is so-so. All american top of the pop charts singles like rhiana and jay z and no real electro to speak of. read more

Do not even bother coming to party if you are black. I went April 19 2018 and my family and I were dressed very nice. The guys had on suits and we still couldn't get in. Once we got on the line it was awkward because the guards and some Caucasian men in suits were just staring until My cousin asked questions about the club. They told us we needed reservations. REALLY RESERVATIONS TO PARTY. Yeah ok why doesn't it say that on the website??? Yup discrimination at its best... the same Caucasian guy who stated we needed reservations proceeded to tell us about a club that was on the next corner. I guess he thought that was more of our crowd... Thank god I live in NYC where it's sooo much diversity... only got one star cause I can't leave 0 read more

Super upscale, everyone is someone in here and if you're not you're just lucky. Seems to be the trendiest nightclub in Paris. Open sky room, lots of fun! read more

L'Arc Paris restaurant-bar-club has taken full advantage of its assets to become one of the absolute trendiest places to be in Paris. Do love it there for dinner, Amazing drink and food, awesome service, and fantastic ambience. As for the night club, which is located downstairs, just like every popular nightclub in the US, it's overly beautiful crowded, but what I like about it is that you get your drinks fast; all of the bartenders are quick on your orders and you never have to wait for more than 5 minutes, to get them to notice you like some of the clubs any where in the US or Paris. read more

The doorman blankly refused us entry and cockily shrugged his shoulders. We were both professional smart ladies, well dressed and presentable and we have $. He also pretended to not understand English and walked away mid conversation. Wow power to the stupid and uneducated. read more

I have to second Annabelle W's review. These guys are horrible. My boyfriend and I walked past it on a Friday night (last Friday, to be exact) and saw folks going in, no line. We're in our mid-to-late 30s, so we were relieved to see mixed ages being let in. We made a note of the dress code, and decided to return the next night,. That Saturday, before we went to dinner, I stopped at our hotel conceirge to ask them if it was difficult to get in and whether we needed a reservation. He said no, just queue up. I would have made a reservation on the spot if I had known it was needed. Needless to say, we went at around 12 (early by Paris club standards - absolutely no line at all) dressed to the nines and ready to spend some money. We (very politely) went right up to the door and asked if we could come in for a drink, but the doorman said, "no entry. It's a private club." So we stepped aside (for the non-existent line) and called our hotel conceirge who then called the club. A young lady holding a phone stepped out of the door and saw us (we were still on the phone and the ONLY people trying to get in). She nodded and went back into the vestibule. The doorman went in after her and then came back out. Thinking things were cleared up, we approached him again. He said, "It's too late to make reservations. You can't come in." We noted that the young woman had seen us and was on the phone with our conceirge and the doorman said, "yes, she asked me if we were taking reservations and I said it's too late." TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE. The doorman just refused to let us in and I hate to say it, but it had to be because we were American. There really could not have been another reason. We had lots of good experiences in Paris, but this outright and blatant discrimination ruined our whole trip. It was so humiliating. We made sure to tell our concierge about the incident when we returned to the hotel, and he was baffled as well. We ended up using our club money on a pair of very expensive Christian Louboutin shoes the next day. read more

This place is a fun starting point to your evening. It can be tricky getting past the door, because they seemed to inflate the wait queue, but that's to be expected. Dress to impress, and be polite at the door and you shouldn't have any trouble getting in. It's key to get the attention of the bartender and maintain it - I was able to do this with a very large tip initially (which isn't obviously the norm in Paris) DJ was playing some excellent 80's/90's old skool mixes which was great. I'd definitely go back read more

I live in New York and I'm currently enjoying a holiday in Paris. Came here on a recommendation from a friend who lives in the city. To my disappointment this is an incredibly racist establishment that denied me entry. I was told that entry wasn't allowed their was a reservation they then proceed to allow three white women and two white guys in without one. Of course I came dressed appropriately but the bouncers wouldn't even speak with me to discuss the situation. The other patrons were allowed entrance without paying for bottle service or any tab limit despite being dressed inappropriately for the venue. The other guests were just as shocked as I was that I wasn't allowed entry. I've had a wonderful time at every other venue I've visited during my multiple trips to the city so this was surely a disappointment and I won't be returning. read more

Boring as an old catholic church. There's a lot of stuck up, boring pretencious people who just go there to see and be seen, I didn't see anybody dance, you must order a ridiculously expensive bottle to be able to sit, i couldn't stay there much longer, i left after only 30 mns, even if we had ordered a bottle. The waiters are rud they just push people around when passing trough, on top of that it was difficult to get in. We went there late so you think the party has started already but no, It's a dull, mundane admostphere, so not worth it. read more

This Club is ridiculous. My two friends and I came to Paris on vacation and on our last night wanted to go out to a dance club. so I looked many places up on-line and found L'Arc supposed to be the IT club, without needing a reservation. When we arrived they would not let us in because we "needed" a reservation.. I said to the bouncer the Internet site says you don't need a reservation.. he said; oh yea the website sucks. you need a reservation.. Do not attempt to go to this club if you are American, the french are haters!.... oh and don't try the club just down the street at the stop light either they are MAJOR haters on Americans.... SO DISAPPOINTED read more

This place is awful!! I have been to many clubs in the U.S. and Europe through out the years, this place is very overrated! For a better time, go to Duplex across the street. The door security, bar tenders, overall service and ambiance is so much better. read more

L'Arc is a trendy restaurant/lounge/night club. I love it there for dinner, great food, service, and ambience.

Nice place!! This place is gorgeous! I love the "french cuisine" and L'Arc has a great chef! We got downstairs at the club with my friends! We were on fire!!! The view, the atmosphere is awsomeee!!! Though the doorman isn't really nice... But we had a great time! read more

We were visiting from Columbus and did bottle service on Saturday night. We were able to walk right in, minimum spend was $1000 euros for 5 people. Music was mostly hip hop and Top 40. Very diverse population! read more

Great fun, however we spent a lot of money and the place is hard to get in. We had friends who tried to meet us there and could not get in. Music was on point. read more

When I left a year ago this was the hottest club in Paris. Always had fun when I went fantastic crowd! Hard to get into
