My other half and I were big fans of Bar Demory. Demory, we were told, is the only brewery in…read moreParis. (This is easily contested by a quick Google search.) However, the Astroblonde (blonde pils) and Atomique (brunette) were very good. (BTW, I have never heard of a pilsner described as blonde, but the website and a different restaurant's server described it this way. I am going with it.)
Bar Demory has draught beers. It features a long, narrow casual bar seating area and bar tables. In the back, there is space for private parties and for a DJ. Interestingly, they have a decibels meter above the DJ platform. Downstairs is a kitchen, free pinball machine, and the bathrooms. Those bathrooms were quite nice for a bar!
Happy Hour ends around 8pm or so. At any point in time, you can order food here. They specialize in sausages and have a number of flavors. You can order them in a sandwich (like a hotdog, sort of) or two to a plate with a side of your choice (potatoes and cheese or delicious lentils). My plus one and I shared the plate: La Coquette d'Asia (chicken-based, Thai basil, ginger, citron served with a sweet spicy sauce) and Peggy des montagnes (ham and cheese). He loved the Asian one, and I loved the Peggy. Go figure.
Order upstairs at the bar. Within so many minutes (10 for us), the food is ready for pick-up downstairs. Tables are hard to find during happy hour.
UPDATE: Two months later, my guy and I are still missing the food, beer, and pinball machine. It's worth the visit!
