Paris · NIGHTLIFE
Every trip has one free day too few. These 11 nightlife experiences justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Meet guides such as Amine, Omar, or Kevin in Châtelet, then walk to two or three central bars and Café Oz Châtelet. You get a shot with your first drink at each bar, reduced drink prices, group games, and skip-the-line club entry. It suits adults who want company on a night out.
“Everything was great. I met good and nice people. Omar was a great host btw. I’ll come again”
Start near Rue de la Huchette, then follow a local guide through Latin Quarter bars, past Notre Dame and the Seine, to Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Expect free entry, one shot with each purchased drink, a group photo at the Panthéon, and a final dance club. Guides may include Emma, Archi, Sharon, or Melanie.
“Sharon, our guide, was super nice and approachable! She gave us clear instructions and answered all our questions. The group size was small enough so everyone can enjoy the small bars/clubs. The shots at the end of each pub/club was an added bonus, 5/5 would recommend even as a solo traveller like myself. I did not once fear for my safety as Sharon took care of all of us :)”
Spend about 70 minutes with Olivier Giraud at the Théâtre des Nouveautés as he pokes fun at Parisian manners, gestures, clothes, and daily life in sharp, accessible English. Choose from three seating categories, expect audience interaction, and allow time for the lobby bar or dinner nearby.
“Rarely funny. Often crude. Performs tropes of Parisians and foreigners (mostly Americans). If you’re just here for a week or so, better to spend your time doing something else.”
Meet your English-speaking guide outside Filles du Calvaires Metro and visit two secret Paris bars, with a possible third stop. Expect hidden doors, passwords, creative cocktails, beer or wine depending on your option, and a friendly international group.
“This tour was the highlight of my trip! Nel was a gracious guide that made everyone feel welcome. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone :)”
Meet your English-speaking guide at Place de la République, then walk to three Paris speakeasies. Guides such as Marc, Natalia, Felix, and Dadhet lead small groups of up to seven, help with drink choices, and share more nightlife tips. Drinks are purchased separately.
“Amazing tour with Marc. He was so welcoming and made sure everyone in the group was comfortable and having a good time. His knowledge on the tour was great and his energy was amazing! Loved all the places he took us!”
Join an English-speaking guide such as Cecilia, Arthur, Paloma, or Vivien for a two-hour, 1.6-kilometer evening walk from the Panthéon through Saint-Germain and the Latin Quarter. Expect literary stories, film locations, Notre Dame views, a small pastry, and practical Paris tips.
“The tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the history and culture of the Latin district. As we wandered through the vibrant streets, he pointed out the iconic landmarks, each with its own unique story. He not only highlighted famous spots but also led us to hidden gems and local eateries that truly capture the essence of the area. Throughout the tour, he generously offered numerous recommendations for restaurants, shops, and attractions, ensuring that we would continue to enjoy the richness of the Latin district even after the tour concluded.”
Join Omar and his team at 9 pm for a four-hour Paris nightlife crawl aimed at adults 18 and older. Visit local bars, enjoy free shots and drink discounts, meet other people, and finish with VIP club entry. Bring photo ID, and check the meeting details carefully before setting out.
“The reviews that said the guide didn’t show up were from a time when they had two different addresses. They’re all set now. It was a great time! Thank you!”
Start near Place de la République and visit two or three Paris speakeasies with guides such as Marc, Natalia, Felix, or Dadhet. Expect secret doors, restaurant back rooms, creative drinks, and a small group of up to seven. Entry is included, but food and drinks cost extra.
“Fun tour and Natalia was a friendly and fun host. Speakeasy was great! Drinks were delicious. Highly recommended!”
Meet your guide at McBrides Irish Pub on Rue Saint-Denis for a social night through two bars and one or two clubs. You’ll get three or four shots, walk between venues, and finish at Café Oz. Hosts such as Amine help solo visitors and groups connect, though the evening can feel loosely managed.
“Honestly, I was considering skipping the pub crawl because I was by myself and feeling a bit anxious. I’m so glad I decided to go! I quickly connected with a few other solo travelers and some groups, and the night turned out to be a blast! I also assumed that since it was a Tuesday, it might be quiet, but the bars were lively, and there were at least 20 people on the crawl, which made it a lot of fun! The club at the end wasn’t quite the vibe we were looking for, so the friends I made that night and I went to another pub instead. But overall,…”
Spend about two hours with an English-speaking host exploring two secret bars around République. Expect coded entrances, hidden passages, and cocktails, beer, wine, shots, or soft drinks purchased separately. Guides such as Felix, Maëva, and Mohona are known for making solo visitors and couples feel at ease.
“My favorite part was the rooftop bar that Felix took us to. It was amazing! I definitely got to see some places in Paris, that I never would’ve been able to find on my own.”
Spend about five hours moving from Generator Paris through Belleville bars and on to Point Éphémère. You’ll get four free shots, discounted drinks, games, and entry to each venue. Meet at 9:00 PM in a green-shirted guide at Generator Hostel.
“I was not able to attend. There were 2 starting times and 2 different address listed for meeting. Either way the coordination and relay of information was poor.”
Pick a monument, a quarter or a table.
