My 3 friends and I had just come from a nice dinner (where there was a strict business attire dress code) and were looking for a nice local place to go out, and this extremely rude woman who worked at Rex at the front entrence looked at my friends and I up and down with a nasty look on her face before saying "non, pas possible", saying we couldn't go in because of "how we are dressed". Ive heard of being under dressed for a venue but not overdressed.. anyways this place sucks and it's filled with tourists and snobs. read more

Came back here on a Friday for the first time in 20 years since my last party night at Rex. Little has changed in layout, decor, etc. But the sound system was definitely an upgrade. Lovely staff, fun crowd, great vibes all around. Crowded enough to have a party. Spacious enough to enjoy it. Just right. Arthur Lastmann was on the decks- absolutely incredible music. He and the other DJ really brought it, and much vinyl was played to boot. The floor was definitely into it. Drink selection could have been better (what is it with Budweiser being the preferred tap beer of Paris?) At least they had Jack Daniels. But a real No BS, very welcoming vibe, all about the music after dealing with utter douchebaggery at another venue around the corner. There is a reason this place is an institution for electronic dance music in Paris. Not the 'new' place, not the 'hot' place, just THE place to party if you don't have the time to venture out to some of the far industrial areas of Paris I love Le Rex. read more

Not the vibe. The bouncers are absolutely very shady and not friendly at all. The whole vibe is off.

Reading the previous reviews on how people were treated, I was extremely apprehensive. My wife stayed positive and said we would be fine. I thought I was about to get thrown out Fresh Prince of Bel Air Jazzy Jeff style. I was wrong. Terribly wrong. We were on line for maybe 10 minutes tops. They had the option of pre-ordering tickets but we learned you can pay for your entrance with cash or card. After kicking out the people in front of us off the line, which had me tense, they Chanted New York and let us in. Everybody that worked there were extremely nice and the music was jumping!!! They were playing deep house music nonstop. Our favorite!! One thing to note: the place is a very young crowd and if you want to really let loose and dance, good luck. The place was packed. Could barely get into my groove, but all in all we had a great time! I would suggest getting there early. In between 12 and 1am. Any later and you'll be on the line we saw forming ad we were leaving. read more

Fun environment /atmosphere and really cool people but they only play edm/house music. I did not hear a single song that I knew or that had words when I was there for 3+ hours which was kind of a bummer. read more

You need to get there early because now you Have to buy tickets in advance/ or stop at office then get in line , stand in line to learn others have VIP (pay extra) to move in other line to wait 60 minutes to see 3x man read more

I was drawn to this club because it was "international friendly." Couldn't be more FALSE. my fiancé and I were turned away after waiting 20 minutes in line because we were "too drunk." The bouncer never even said "bonsoir" , just "you are too drunk to enter. Come back after you eat some food." All of his comments were in French, by the way. I understood everything and apologized for not speaking excellent French- explaining (in French) that I learned English by birth and Spanish second, but had not yet mastered French. The bouncer was a complete racist and jerk. We had only had one glass of wine prior to entering at a jazz club in the 1st arrondissement and were far from drunk. I recommend any place other than this one. Way to ruin a magical visit to Paris. This place is anything but hospitable. read more

C'est genialllllllllllll. Faut venirrrr. On my last night in Paris, Korean model boy* told me to come to the technotronic mecca that is Le Rex. This was maybe at the cusp of the electro explosion when most of it was kindaaa cheesy techno-ish. I was an amateur whereas the Korean was way deep into the movement. Consider my socks blown off completely, not that I was wearing any. If you like electro, you need to come to rex. Dark, basement dungeon-y (why is that the setting for the best parties), the music was insane, by one o'clock, you'll be wearing a wet shirt. There were girls walking around asking if you wanted anything. She's not selling sex, she's selling pills. *not an actual model. read more

Another disappointment from a Parisian nightclub. My friend and I came here on a Thursday night around 1 expecting it to be lit but it was really dead. A lot of deep house nonstop and a very eclectic group of people dancing, ranging from very young to literally someones grandmother on the dance floor. I can see this place maybe going up under the right circumstances or on the weekend, but the only highlight was the really good drink that was made for us by the bartender, aside from this, not a really great experience. read more

Just an awful experience. This place was recommended by a DJ friend of ours who plays big gigs in Chicago. First, we stand in a 30 minute line freezing outside the club, Then, once we get up to the front of the line sh*t hit the fan. The guy standing in front of us with two ladies was denied entry into the club. He was dressed appropriately and wasn't drunk. He was calmly talking with the bouncer without any sort of raised voice and then the bouncer just punched him in the face for no apparent reason! Seriously? We had to dodge out of the way to not get caught in the crossfire. After that settled down, 4 people behind us were let in and we were taken aside and were told sorry not tonight, please leave. Are you kidding me! We were dressed nicely, much better than the other hipster dbags in line, and just ready to dance and spend money at this god forsaken place. Stay away. This was not worth the $30 round trip cab fare and an upset girlfriend that just wanted to dance on her last night in Paris. read more

The Rex Club is an institution in Paris. Everything began when Laurent Garnier started to play here in the early 90's. Big names started to play here as well like Jeff Mills or Sven Vath. In Paris history of electronic music, this is the place. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is kind of boring. Even the DJs seem to be bored. There is no crazyness or sensuality like in Barcelona, London, Berlin or Moscow. I think it's not the club but the Parisian mentality which is responsible. It's a pity, because DJ Chloe played here that night and I really like her. It reminded me some good memories at the Pulp. So if you don't care about the Parisian atmosphere and you're not as sensitive as I am, then go to the Rex. read more

We heard a few major international stars usually hit up this place when they are in town... I dunno where the vip would end up hanging out cause it was a sauna in there. The smoke room was also horrible. We didn't have to wait in line and the bouncer didn't hassle us asian foreigners. Music was okay, just your typical laissez faire trance. Drinks were pretty expensive but typical to this kind of club about 10-15 euros. I will probably not be back but you know sometimes you just need a little trance and sauna to relive your rave days. read more

This pub/lounge is not the kind of place that really represents Paris, the ambiance is not very nice and the choice of drinks is not the optimum, with an entry ticket you'd expect the treatment to be nicer and the music was not good as well... read more

I'd have to say one of my hobbies is clubbing around the world. Each time in a new city, I make an effort to find the best (sometimes not exactly the most popular) nightlife and invest a full night of debauchery in that city. This, my friends, was a true-blue-all-out club in Paris that gets the full approval of this house-lovin-jack-your-body Chicago girl. Not only was the crowd just completely interesting, they knew how to dance instead of sitting on their butts at the (non-existent) VIP table sipping their crap drinks and trying to talk about how cool they are. Didn't see any of that there and so Paris, you surprised me and can't wait to visit this fine establishment again. read more

Went there with a friend last night. We didn't look up the music in advance, but nevertheless, it was so horribly boring that we couldnt possibly dance while sober. One shot of vodka is 10€, and it took many to get us going. Otherwise, got in with no problem, the venue is quite large, the crowd isn't horrible. read more

Had a great time listening to house and riddim music, great place to party ! I had a amazing birthday here with my boyfriend can't wait to come back. read more

We were told by multiple people to visit Le Rex Club to hear house music in Paris. First, I was not impressed by the fake line outside, where we were forced to wait until a big enough crowd developed - for the show to look popular enough - to let us in. Once we got in, we quickly discovered the not-at-all empty club with an unimaginative decor. Furthermore, the drinks were beyond expensive. To top it off, the music was essentially minimal house, which I am not a fan of and could not get into. read more

I'm a gay American white male and I went with my straight friends. Ridiculous entry fee (20 euro) and the drinks were terrible and weak. My friend got a cocktail and it was basically a like a shot with a couple lime quarters muddled in. I could not taste any alcohol when I asked for a drink with an extra shot and the prices were outrageous. 30 euro for two vodka red bulls. The dance floor was empty at 1am when we arrived after paying the exhorbitant cover fee and never fully filled up. Absolutely would not recommend. Avoid at all costs. I spent maybe 70 euro and regret every last one. read more

Well well well.... all depend of the day you go there ! If you go on Saturday, all is for party ( not in the best way you could expect ). If you go on Friday, it's a mix of people. There are students, workers, teens... If you go on Thursday, be sure all the people will be there for the music and DJ will do their best in their sets to xpress their own personality and sense of party. In my opinion, that's the best day. By the way, they have the best sound system of Paris ! read more

Went to see Ivan Smaghhe here a years ago and it was great. The sound system is unbelievable! read more

Rex Club - Dance Clubs Near Me - Paris, 75

I waited 20 minutes to get in at 1230am with 4 people to an empty club. Weird flex, but okay. Promoter told me when I was standing in line TO PAY that I was lucky he didn't let his friend cut us in the line to get in. another weird flex. Never again. Music was garbage. It was like being in a scene from the movie "it's all gone Pete tong". As a Chicago born and raised DJ I would not recommend this club to anyone looking to go out dancing. Save your time and money. This was today (Thursday). You're welcome! read more

A Great Club with a fantastic atmosphere, its just the right size for a good club, think it holds 4-500 people? The ceiling is low and the room is dark and makes for a great atmosphere! Laurent Garniers club and he is known to pop in now and again, as well as holding residencies there. The night I went the toilets were out of order and we had to share the mens toilet with the ladies, making for massive q's for the toilet was all good though, got talking to various people in the q and met some nice people from all over, even some people from Scotland! Nice big dancefloor, plenty of disco lighting and screens displaying visuals round the dancefloor, with the dj booth at the far end of the club. Theres also plenty of seating around the dancefloor and at the bar area, so you can have a sit-down and order a bottle of vodka for your table, with table service! Bar Staff werent the friendliest, but this may have been my lack of French language skills, and the fact it was 3-4am! All in, a great club and a definite recommendation if your going to Paris and like a bit of a boogie to the best quality house and techno. Check the website out for who's playing when your there, or go check it out regardless. read more

Being in this place reminded me of Killing Zoe, only for the 21st century and with the same amount of cult following you might expect. For me? A little too much like, LETS ALL DO THIS COOL THING NOW, and not enough, yeah, I'm actually really feeling this vibe. Like it could all change and suddenly there'd be goth metal and all the people would be the same, just in a different vogue. That being said, it does sound great, its a great night out and I can't say crap all about how it looks 'cos I was astounded, just not totally my cup of tea. read more

Sort of an expensive cover charge but we had fun so whatever. Wasn't a huge fan of the music, or the venue honestly. Good dancing, though there were some grimy people (but that was expected). read more

Would 0/10 recommend. The bouncers were hostile and rude to our small group of Americans and shut down entry after we waited an hour to get to the front of the line. read more

Came here on a Saturday at 1:30. Pretty sparse. A (small) beer is seven euros. Rude bartender kept pretending he couldn't hear me and snickering about it. Young, straight crowd (that insisted on trying to carry on conversations on the dance floor). Nice space and good music. Only reason the place got any stars from me. read more

This place is a cesspool if you are an American avoid they will treat you like dirt! The bouncers are total crap and the club is a total waste of time. A good example of how overrated the Paris club scene can be. Do yourself a favor and find somewhere else to go because you will just waste your time going here. Overpriced, bad music, just a good example of how bad a club can be run. read more

Jy suis allé une seule fois. Heureusement qu'on m'avait payé l'entrée. Une quinzaine d'euros, des gens que j'appelle "sombres" car ils ne sont là bas que pour y être et pour s'apparenter à des gens qui vont au "rex". Le mix club le met à plat en tout point: ambiance, qualité du soins système. Je pars d'ailleurs commenter le mix club, endroit dans lequel j'ai passé mes vendredi et samedi durant deux ans. (2006-2007) read more

It was a Wednesday, and there was two lines going. It must be a fun club, so get there early! We did not feel like waiting what seemed to be an hour or so wait. read more

Very happening scene, the place has a good atmosphere and the dance floor get crazy at some point in the night, sometimes a bit too crazy. Prices are definitely normal for paris standards. Easy to come in if you have the right guy/girl ratio read more

Good place to see a show in paris. Only hold about 2300 people, so still feels fairly intimate. Maybe too small for rock and roll as we saw Tom Petty there and it was seriously loud. But its nice to not have to go outside a major city to see a major star. The actual inside of the theater has great detail, statues and a structure that makes it look like a city landscape. The ceiling lights up with "stars." It is also nice because right outside the theater are a ton of restaurants for before or after meals. The concert started late though because it took awhile for them to get the sound check thing down...aren't they supposed to do that before the show starts? read more

Soul Clap/Benoit & Sergio/Tanner Ross Night was out of this world. If I could have, I would have come back the next night to see Cassy.

Weird vibe but decent music. girls were okay. they made us wait in line for no reason.

If you are American don't even try to go here. They are racist and won't let you in. I went with a group of girls and they asked if we speak French. Since we do not we replied no and he said "well I don't speak English, wait on the side." We were really confused by this and moved to the side and asked why we are moving and he just kept saying wait wait so after 5 minutes we said we don't even want to go here if this is what it is like. We went to a pub down the block which turned out to be a lot of fun. read more

My friend and i were rejected after waiting for over 2 hours just because we could not speak in French

American's perspective: awful music. Kind of what you'd expect in a Parisian club: house music, no lyrics, kind of repetitive. Locals seemed to enjoy it, though a few definitely had some chemical stimulation if you catch my meaning. Overall, wouldn't go back, over priced drinks, weird vibe. read more
