Unfortunately I would not recommend that any Americans or PoC visit this bar in the future as the staff seem to harbor toward one or both groups. A friend and I are staying in Marais on our first visit to Paris- most places in the neighborhood have been super kind and hospitable, but not these guys. The two of us stopped in for a drink on Friday night, and she ran to use the restroom before we ordered. About 30 seconds into my waiting for her, the bartender actually walks over to me and asks if I intend to order anything. I say yes and that I'm waiting for my friend so we can make a decision. He becomes enraged (no better way to describe his demeanor- I assume he may have been drinking?) and says we are impolite and should have asked first, assumes that we do not plan to actually order drinks, and kicks me out of the establishment, humiliating me in front of the entire crowd for no discernible reason. I have never received treatment like this, and have never been kicked out of any place in any country I've visited. This experience has left a horrible taste in my mouth and I hope to save any other tourists the trouble. Plenty of other wonderful bars in Marais to visit instead- Le Cirque for one has a wonderfully kind owner!
The customer service in this place is just shockingly terrible. read more
