Wandered in here on a rainy afternoon with my work colleagues while on a lunch break from our…read moreconference. Super cool graffiti artwork adorned the walls and there was lots of seating, including some cozy couches which we sunk right into. We ordered a couple of coffees, a pastry, plus my co-worker got a veggie salad (our work conference hadn't provided many non meat options lol). He said the salad was really good and I for sure enjoyed my coffee. A nice place to come for a bite and enjoy a relaxing atmosphere.

The bar was OK, but the barmen was really weird. The first thing he did approaching our table is…read moretrying to sit on my lap...

You know why you come to Melocoton: for an happy hour that lasts till 10pm, with 3.5€-5€ pints…read moredepending on the beer your choose. Price wise, you cannot do better. (Of course, this does reflect on the local crowd: students, interns, old weird chaps a little bit too drunk for their own good...) Good surprise #1: Cocktails are really good! The Velvet Vodka (mango juice, strawberry juice, blackberry liquor, vodka) is amazing is you like sweet cocktails. Only 5.5€ till 10pm, 7€ after, for all cocktails! Good surprise #2: They have a large room downstairs which is usually less packed that the rest of the bar. Nice if you are with a large group of friends.

This was my local bar for the 4 nights that I was in Paris recently. 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.

We took a pizza and planche aux fromages. The food was very good, fresh and the pizz was a real…read moreItalian one. Very nice atmosphere and music and an excellent service. I would definitely recommend it for a drink or a dinner with friends

I think the bad reviews have been for the summer pizza terrace. I just ate here (the third time in…read morethe past five years) and thought the food and service were beyond what was expected for a place that probably gets enough business just for the concerts and curious tourists looking for a unique experience. My friend and I have lived here over 15 years, so we are pretty picky about what we eat and dink, and were very much impressed (we went for the fun setting, not expecting much). I do wish they'd turn the bright lights down a bit, and it would be nice if couples could have the little niche in the back (instead of groups of four), but otherwise an enjoyable evening and the servers were quite friendly. The formules include entrance to the concert on the deck upstairs, a pretty good deal in my opinion.

I discovered this place about three years ago and it is one of my tried and true addresses for a…read morefun night out without going into a real nightclub. It is great for an "After-Work" as they say in French - with good drink specials (notably 6 euro cocktails, 4 euro wine, and pints for the price of the "demi" or half-pint) for their happy hour from opening until 8pm. Plus they use good rum (Cuban) for their mojitos - always a good sign. Try their mojito royale (it replaces the rum with champagne) for something delicious a little different! AND they serve pitchers - which is always nice if you are with a group (unless you are the only one paying for the pitchers...) The place gets packed fast - especially on Thursday. There is a DJ upstairs on most good nights and an upper mezzanine with some tables to get (a little) distance from the noise. Then the basement is wild and has it's own bar and DJ on party nights. The whole place becomes a crazy dance party for late nights towards the end of the week - and can be a great start for an epic night, or a great end to a more reasonable soiree.

This place has a great party vibe! The downstairs is cozy and dark but has great music and is a…read moregreat place to hang out with a group of friends, lots of dancing room
