Her deliberate and calculated behavior of continuing to pour wine, even though it was still there in our wine glasses, was extremely unpleasant. The wine bar is a place where we come to relax and have conversations over wine, and I think it's the worst mindset as a wine bar president to do this rude thing to get customers out quickly

It was made clear to me that they have no interest or need in providing service to me. I explained to the manager that a complaint is a gift- an opportunity to make things right. She had no interest. How this level of service is acceptable is perplexing at this type of establishment. Needless to say, I am offended and disgusted. Will spend my money elsewhere and encourage others to do the same.

My 500th review, dedicated to Bubar... This bar is magical…read more There's just something about this spot where you know so much has happened within these 4 walls over years and years. I fell in love with it a couple of weeks ago during my first trip to Paris, where I ended up visiting it not once but twice. It's a dive wine bar, but with so much character, in every nook and cranny. I had read reviews on both TripAdvisor and Yelp, albeit dated. There is no name listed on doorway so could be hard to miss, but something about the red lighting and energy just drew me in. (That and some trusty reviews online...) The first night was a little intimidating at first. A group of older gentlemen, all friends and all seemed to know the owner, were deep into conversation at the bar. However, as soon as I walked in, solo, that very owner, Jean-Loup (he made sure I captured the correct spelling, vs. some renditions in other reviews ;)) warmly greeted and welcomed me. From there on, it was bliss. For me personally it was a pivotal moment because just a few days prior to that, I was still a bit fearful about exploring the city solo with very little grasp of French, but that night, I felt brave and wandered by Bubar. So glad I did. Jean-Loup not only nailed a few wines for me that were all sheer perfection (there's a daunting list but disregard that and just tell him what you're in the mood for because he'll find something spot-on), but offered a small plate of nibbles, after asking if I preferred 'fruits or vegetables'...a sweet, personal touch. I enjoyed a wonderful night just respectfully observing his interactions with his buddies (clearly he is very adored here, and a local staple,) while he checked in on me regularly to ensure I was doing fine. Such an amazing evening. The following night I had to stop by again just to say goodbye. I simply won't be forgetting Jean-Loup and Bubar anytime soon. For anyone reading this who will be venturing into the bar, he mentioned he is not the most tech-savvy but was happy to hear he has so many positive reviews, and that I wanted to write a review (as the last one was from a year ago)...please let him know "Jennifer from Los Angeles" said hello, and mention this review. :) He's the absolute best.

The staff were all friendly and made sure that we were having a good time. The menu comes in a cd case with individual booklets of their signature drinks inside, all inspired by r&b hits. I got the Bond's Sneaky Martini (Cream Vodka, White Cap Mattei, Marie Brizard Vanilla, pecan water) while my cousin got the Tropicool (Janneau Armagnac, Tropical cordial, Cointreau Pomelo Distillate, Pear Belle de Brillet). I enjoyed the martini, it was tasty and made for a good alcoholic drink. The abv was 20%, so it was pretty strong, especially since I don't drink alcohol much anymore. If you're planning to visit a bar and love hip hop and R&B music of the 2000s, this bar is right up your alley.
