There were mostly Irishmen and women there decked out in green ready for the game as well. The bar looked well stocked but for me, I just stuck to the Guinness. They also have a decent food menu which, unfortunately I wasn't able to sample because the kitchen had closed by the time I was ready to order. Friends did say that the burgers they had were excellent. The bar is located at Les Halles, so there are both train and metro stops to get there, and is also a short walk to the Pompidou Center. I don't frequent Irish bars when I go to Paris but this time was glad that I went to this one. It was a fantastic afternoon.

Ok, the folks of Paris are gonna be miffed at me for outing this joint, but I'm gonna do it anyway…read more Ok, tucked away in a corner of Paris uncorrupted by huge waves of camera-swinging, sidewalk-blocking, standing-in-the-middle-of-the-street-pointing tourists is quartier Mouffetard. Hmmm, I guess I've ruined that now. Anyway, tucked up at the top of the hill of this cool little niche in the city is home to one of the best dive bars I've been to outside of the States, Le Requin Chagrin (don't try to make any sense of the name). This is a great neighborhood-y joint, very local and cool, as in unpretentious, so check all attitudes at the door -- only the bartenders are allowed the right (just kidding). Soak up the atmosphere, soak up some beer and make friends with whomever is standing next to you. And when the joint finally closes, or when you've had enough to drink, head downhill to look for a cab (quietly mind you, people do live here you know). But before you go home, the chicken rotisserie guys should be starting their day (yep _that_ early in the morning). Try to talk one of 'em into selling you a freshly spit-roasted chicken and sit at a nearby fountain (there's always one in Paris) and split it with your friends or other drunk strangers who are headed home too.

Of all the places I explored in Paris, Le Requin Chagrin was the only bar where I got to meet and…read moretalk to total strangers. I had a very drunk, very large Frenchman talk to me for about an hour about... who knows what. I mean, the dude was *really* drunk. He did tell me I look like Hellboy. And said something about a factory he either owns or works in. But he was a nice enough fellow if a little overbearing. Once he left, I chatted a bit with a group of students and we discussed the typical highbrow deep philosophical topics one would expect to hear in the Latin Quarter. You know, Game of Thrones, Star Trek, and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. I mention this because I really like meeting new people and talking to random strangers. This doesn't happen in Paris enough - at least not when you're a 38 year old guy who doesn't speak French. This aspect of travelling is more important to me than seeing famous monuments or going to world-class museums. If you're looking for a friendly bar where you might have a chance to make some new friends, Le Requin Chagrin is a good bet.

The Wall is a small rock music themed bar with brick walls adorned with such fun items as a guitar…read moreand a crawling alligator. If you are walking around near the Place de contrescarpe, you can't miss it. It has small indoor seating that spills out front onto a patio that was packed tight around 8.30 every night, even during random weekdays, and they blare loud music that rocks the block. It's a small, casual place. They have a large list of cocktails, but avoid those, they are terrible. Don't let that deter you, though, because this is one of the best places to get a great deal. They offer €6 50 cl beers for happy hour, including a delicious, high abv mcchouffe. Bonus points for the soft orange string lights giving the bar a soft, romantic glow. Minus bonus points, though, because on both of our visits, the bathrooms had no toilet paper.

This bar has cheap pints (some beers are as cheap as 3.50, which is REALLY cheap in the Rue…read moreMouffetard area) however, that is about the only perk to this place. It gets HORRENDOUSLY crowded to the point that you'd have to have some kind of Alex Mack style incident to get through all of the people. I got a cigarette dropped on the top of my foot. Not that this will happen to you, but it's what happens when a bunch of drunkards congregate in one place. The service was slow, and the bouncer was practically a nazi trying to keep people with drinks on the terrace. I literally saw him chasing people down the street. The worst part of all? The bathroom. First off, the door to it was extremely hard to open from the outside unless you have good nails and are lucky enough to find the right angle to pull at. Then, if you do manage to get inside, there is a girl's toilet with NO toilet paper, which means you have to go back out to the bar to get some. When I asked for it they literally rolled me off a couple dozen squares and handed it to me. Once I finally got back in, did my business, then went to wash my hands only to see a guy peeing because at the sink your back is literally to the urinal (or should I say hole in the floor?) This place only earns a star back for me because when I told a French guy about it he said one of my favorite lost in translation quotes of all time. He told me I should get a device so I can pee standing up outside, and when explaining it said, "You put it in your sex and then you can pee where you dream!" I realize that this had nothing to do with the bar itself, but it made my day. That and I'm hungover from the cheap beer.

This is a very nice place to have a night out! This café is very popular with young people and is a…read morebit alternative. The music is loud and are mostly rock song, there is a leg coming out of the ceiling and young creative people are sitting everywhere and are enjoying cheap beers and cocktails. The bartenders are very friendly and speak English as well. It gets a little hot inside when it is crowded but other than that this is a great place. The cocktails are really cheap, like 6 euros and for this amount of money you get a big glass! It are not classy cocktails or something but it are decent ones for a bar like this and the amount of money they are for sure awesome. This bar is located in a lively street with also some other bars so if you're into it you can even do some bar-hopping.

C'était la première fois qu'on m'organisait une surprise! L'émotion était à son comble, je ne savais pas que j'avais des amis! Je croyais que mon humour m'avait isolé du monde! J'en pleure encore.. 3 mois après, c'est vous dire la surprise! Bref, ne déprimons pas avec ma solitude extrême.. Lol.. Le bar est super cool, pas du tout prise de tête avec un happy hour qui propose des pintes de cocktails pour 6 euros! Et en plus ils sont bon! Encore une surprise! Les gens parlent entre eux, donc aucun jeux de "qui est le plus stylé?" Contrairement aux bars près de la cité de la mode... Ici c'est comme au Mc Donald: "venez comme vous etes" (enfin si tu ne te laves jamais parce que tu te crois au moyen âge bah ne viens pas.. Ma tolérance à des limites..) Un conseil: réservez pour pouvoir vous asseoir, c'est légèrement petit.. Ah oui et autre truc trop cool: on peut demander a la serveuse de nous commander des pizzas! Le kiff!

After traveling for ever and…read moreever the last thing I wanted to deal with was the crown at the Bombardier so after walking for a bit more I stumbled upon this place. It wasn't super packed because it was a Thursday but the music was fun, crowd didn't seem like meat heads and the bartenders looked like they were just having a blast. I was exhausted but jet lagged so drinking was in order. I drank, spoke to the bartenders, told them about the crazy trip that had just begun and then I walked home. For the next three nights the same thing happened. I was called "L'Americaine" and everyone at the bar was just very open to hearing about why I loved their city. Plus: inexpensive booze and vodka shots for 2 euro.
