WOS - Wide Open Space Bar - Leaving my imprint at WOS in Paris - Pubs Near Me - Paris, 75

After our Thanksgiving meal this place was recommended to see more American Football. A location that is popular with Americans and the home of the Green Bay Packers in Paris. We each had a Guinness which was quite good. read more

Fun place, friendly staff and patrons. No food, but we brought in kabobs from down the street. Music was good and the cocktails were tasty. Plus my husband was able to watch his college football game! read more

This is a great bar for tourist that speak English! We felt so welcome and at home. Right in the heart of downtown by Notre Dame this bar is perfect if you want to stop in for a cold pint during your adventures! read more

WOS - Wide Open Space Bar - WOS craft beer - Pubs Near Me - Paris, 75

Watching the packer game with fellow travelers and local residents was awesome. Paris is filled with things to do/see but rarely are you conversing with people other than pleasantries and "pardons" while weaving through museums/streets. Having a place to drink beer and talk/cheer about a common interest was a refreshing break the serious business of leisure tourism. We picked up take out from the Nepalese place down the street. It was easy to do and delicious with our steins of HB read more

Answer: English-speakers. Theme parties. Sports broadcasts. Cheap drinks. Hell, free drinks if you're willing to donate some lingerie to the bar. Awesome bar staff. Tiny seating areas. Tinier toilets. National flags. Friendly, inebriated patrons. Guilty-pleasure types of music. A (typically packed) full bar housing some of the most fun people Paris doesn't usually cater to. What is WOS, Alex? Damn, it feels good to be an ex-pat. read more

If you don't speak french, sometimes your out of place meter fills up a bit too quickly here in France. WOS bar is a nice change because it is actually English first. The beers here are decently priced during happy hour and they have a nice selection of whiskies. No pretentiousness here...just a good 'ole fashioned pub. 4 stars. read more

I happened to pass by this shop on a trip to the nearby Luxembourg gardens. This is definitely an english friendly place as the owners are very fluent in English. If you happen to enter before 8.30pm you can catch their discounted drink special for 6 Euro. These include a negroni, daquiri, iceberg lagoon, margarita, sex on the beach, etc. Cocktails regularly cost 9.50 to 12 Euro. They also have charcuterie and cheese for 13 Euro, though many people brought in food from the nearby fast food chicken place. Decent place for a stop, but I wouldn't recommend going out of the way for a visit here with so many good cocktail bars nearby. read more

Previously called Cafe Aussie this bar is now owned by a French guy but still retains an expat pub feel. The bar is nice and recently renovated and a fun place to hang out but the toilets are still a little sketchy. The clientele is mixed but tends to be a younger crowd due to the proximity to the universities. It can be rowdy if you happen to be there when one of the endless bar crawls turns up. Everything aside, I love this bar for the Japanese cocktail made from sake, lime and lemonade served with cucumber chopsticks. I think the owner is very proud of this cocktail too as he likes to explain the cucumber (I will let you find out!). read more

WOS bar is hands down one of my favorite bars in Paris. I've been living in the area for over three years now and WOS has become more and more my go-to bar. It combines some of my favorite things : fantastic ambiance and staff, amazing and creative cocktails, mouthwatering charcuterie planches and live jazz music... I've also discovered whisky through WOS bar. Now, whisky can be a very intimidating subject, but I participated in Allison's Ladies Whisky Tasting which was just perfect to initiate me to it properly. She lets you discover the whiskies and then helps explains with incredible patience and friendliness where the whisky is from, how it's produced and what its particularities are. She then helps you figure out the right vocabulary to express how to describe your taste in whisky and enjoy it elsewhere as well. And what better place to taste whisky than a bar that has so many different choices that are otherwise hard to find elsewhere in Paris? And then there are the cocktails, oh, the cocktails.. every bar has their list of house cocktails (and trust me, this is one is a gooood one) as well as the standard cocktails. But WOS also has Simone. You can tell him what you like and don't like and he will figure out the perfect cocktail for you with a big smile on his face, even if it's not in the menu. I also largely appreciate the fact that I, who does not like beer, can come here with my friends who prefer it to cocktails or fine spirits, and and everyone can easily find something for their taste buds. Simone, Allison, Kat or Duncan will find the right thing. Which brings me to my last point : the staff. Always friendly and welcoming. Unlike other places, even when it's busy, they will never make you feel like they're annoyed with your presence. Always a genuine smile. Always friendly. Anyways, long story short, this place is awesome and you should stop hesitating and reading reviews online and just experience it for yourself. Chances are that you will have a good time :) read more

Such a warm, friendly, and welcoming staff. Definitely glad we stopped here on our trip. They have chocolate shots (Pick Your liquor, have it in a chocolate glass) that are SO GOOD!! read more

Great people!! By far best bar I've visited on vacation or even at home. So friendly, great service and fun! Must go to! read more

Went to see NFL football. THIS IS A PACKER BAR. IF you don't have strong feels about the packers not worth it.only food was meat and cheese plates read more

When I moved to Paris at 24, WOS bar was just what I was looking for- someplace with a good happy hour, a fun, international 20-something crowd, a cheerful ambiance and a pub that's open til the wee hours. Six years later, I've returned to find that all of these characteristic traits have remained, yet, like me, WOS has grown up. What first struck me was not only the increased quantity, but the quality of the spirits offered. They've always had a nice selection, yet they've truly matured into a fine spirits pub........without all the routine scornful Parisian snobbery. They now have a lovely list of cocktails, each inventive, and purposefully concocted. Everyone seems to love the Dankowsky Breakfast, sweet and citrusy- super tasty. Being a whisky lover, I first gravitated toward the Dirty Blonde- mixed with ginger liqueur, honey and lemon; how could I resist? Simple, honest, balanced. However, daring to step out of the box, I went for something a bit more exotic. And not 'umbrella toothpick in a piña colada on a beach in Fiji' exotic, but rather 'rare, uncharted territory meets exquisite' exotic. Enter: the Gincel Martini. I'm not a fan of gin. It has a tendency to remind me of drinking a christmas tree, and anyway I think I might be allergic to it. But when it mingles with fresh lime juice, a hint of vanilla and Eau-de-Vie of Wild Celery ((a delicate, refreshing and exotic (definition-b) liqueur which I'm told is extremely hard to come by, as they only make something like 150 bottles of it per year)), I say pass me the EPI pen, I'm goin' in. Did I mention I like whisky? Well good for me and good for you too, if you're in my club. Literally. In my club. WOS has a whisky tasting club, and, wait for it, a ladies only tasting club (!) . Only they're not whisky tasting clubs, they're spirits tasting clubs, and as WOS has around 450 spirits, including more than 100 whiskys, we're not likely going to be tasting your everyday alcohols. They have now introduced planches. The quality and freshness is remarkable. Pierre has a personal relationship with the farmers cooperative (and many of the wine producers too btw, having been to almost all of the vineyards to selects the wines himself), who delivers the cheese straight from Auvergne and Cantal to WOS's doorstep. Ask him about these lovely fermier cheeses- he loves to talk about them, especially about the cheese which comes from a milk that is only produced if the calf is standing by the mama cow. Awwwwww, talk about made with love! They don't have their own kitchen but in addition to having planches, they also take advantage of the fantastic artisanal pâtissier across the street and offer both chocolate shots (it's the edible glass that's made of chocolate mmmmm) and occasionally WOS matches their sublime cocktails with the equally sublime offerings (both sweet an savory) from Pâtissier Bon for their "gastronomy and spirits" night. All of this, and the best part is- they still have happy hour, they still have themed nights, they still have live music, they still have their trademark warm, fun, welcoming atmosphere; they've just grown up with the rest of us. WOS is, as ever, my home away from home when I'm in Paris. read more

Want to catch an NFL game while in Paris? Look no further. As someone else mentioned, there are no open spaces at WOS, it's quite small but that doesn't really bother me. It's a bit pricey too, the cheapest beer was €6, but hey, you're in Paris and sports bars showing NFL games are few and far between. read more

GB Packers!!!!!!!!!! Good folks and can grab an American football game with some live music. Gets a bit crowded but I'd say that's a good thing during a game. They also show up to three games at a time. Stop by and check it out if you're craving AM Football! read more

If you are a Green Bay Packers fan, this place is a must. The owner is a huge Packers fan and airs the Packers games every Sunday. He also shows two other NFL games while the Packers are playing, so depending on who you root for, you may be able to find your team. Airing NFL games isn't the only thing this little gem has going for it, it features live music on Sunday nights and various theme nights (although I wasn't able to take part in any of them). Pierre, the owner, and Matthew, the manager, are so friendly and make you feel at home. And the free wifi is a plus! read more

Decent place with a friendly staff if you're looking for an Anglo language haven or a spot to watch a Packers game. Most people in Paris aren't, but eh, for that percent of a percent, this is the place! Prices a bit steep for the hood and for the quality of the beer (e.g. low). Really merits a 2.5. read more

Fun place. Beer is good. Was there 4 nights out of 6 - caught some NFL games on the Sunday night. Bar staff are great! Live music was really good too. read more

My colleagues & I loved this atmosphere even though we are Chicago Bears fans from Chicago. The bartender named Nilugel treated us like we had came here for forever. Couple rounds of free shots on the 1st & last night we had in Paris. Never came here early enough to get food. Tuesday night a guy plays & sings & he is pretty great. Overall a very awesome bar that I will recommend to anyone who comes to Paris. read more

My favorite place I went in Paris. Prices are better than any bar I went to and so were the drinks!!

Amazingly friendly staff, chill ampeshere, great music. Visiting from California, wanted to watch the NHL playoffs & they had no hesitations to turn the game on for us at 2am. Good prices, not super crowded on the weekend. Check this place out for sure if you're visiting Paris & looking for an easy going bar. read more

We visited the bar due the it being the official Packers bar in Paris. We are very happy we did so! The manager spent an hour with us telling the history around how they came to be a Packers bar. Great people, great service. A neighborhood bar. read more

I agree with Brian's review. This bar, despite it's name, reminds of my favorite, small, hole-in-the-wall bars from college. Sure it's cramped and nothing fancy but the atmosphere was electric during the Packer's playoff game. I arrived an hour early and still hardly managed to snag a seat within view of one of their four televisions. It's bar service only here (no servers) so best to grab two beers immediately upon entry or even a pitcher because, once it gets crowded, it is virtually impossible to move from one end of the bar to the other. Drinks were on the pricy side--I gave €7.50 for a pint of Guinness. The crowd was mostly 20- and 30-somethings with some older diehard fans and random study abroad sorority girls mixed in. I would consider going again but the claustrophobic space and lack of servers and a food menu have me curious as to what other options exist for NFL games in Paris. read more

WOS - Wide Open Space Bar - W.O.S. bar during Packers playoff game against the Cowboys. - Pubs Near Me - Paris, 75

Stopped in on Sunday night to watch the packers. Great bar. Matthew the bartender was excellent. Definitely on my list to visit again.

Nice staff, beer was good. The name is very misleading because there is nothing Wide Open about this Space. Very small joint. Glad they got NFL on the flatscreens but if you are claustrophobic, beware. read more

Great cocktails from friendly anglophone staff, yummy "planches" with cheeses and meats, homely atmosphere - all in all a very happy place :) read more
