Fréquence

Had 4 cocktails between me and my friend. Everything was extremely well balanced with flavors I don’t normally see. Staff was pleasant with a wonderful atmosphere. We got here early when it was pretty empty, so it was very relaxed. *I did not try any foods

I’ve been here twice now during my visits to Paris. This cocktail bar has great vibes. It’s a vinyl record bar with wood panels and a stylish but friendly staff to match. The cocktails are solid, but on the sweeter side and not hugely complex in flavor. If you’re looking for something light and refreshing, you can’t go wrong with any of the special cocktails at this time of year. If you’re looking for something boozy and spirit-forward, best stick with the classics. The neighborhood is safe by day with some cute stores lining the street, but can be a little dodgy at night and so best to be careful especially if you are a solo woman. All-in-all though definitely worth stopping in if you’re in the area.

Great drinks, services, & vibes! The bar turns into a dance club around midnight, if you like dancing.

This is my absolute favorite cocktail bar in Paris. I’ve been coming here now for a few years (everytime I’m in town). I’ve been to many cocktail bars, and Frequence never disappoints. The ambience is down to earth and chill. The bartenders are friendly and helpful in serving you a cocktail that fits your preferences. Very innovative cocktails- more Japanese inspired flavors. I always recommend this place to my friends when they come to Paris and they’re always happy with their experience here. On Friday and Saturday nights a DJ spins some records and they also serve some small/sharing plates. This is a Must Visit!

The Bouncer at the door acted very meanly with us for no reason… it was a very disappointing experience. I recommend you guys warn your security at the door to be nicer with your customers & talk nicer, 0 kindness 100 rudeness, and we were not the first ones facing this behavior. If you don't take action on this, this will kill your customer circulation slowly but surely. I've traveled the world, nothing has happened like that it was another level of crudeness and sadly it was the worst experience for me and for my friends in Paris…

Super relaxed vibe, good music, bit of a retro feel without it being fake. Cool vinyl bar, good drinks. Very dark, nice atmosphere - no dancefloor though, often a bit packed

I recently visited Frequence and unfortunately, my experience was destroyed by the behavior of the bouncer. While the atmosphere and drinks were decent, the interaction with the bouncer left a very negative impression. From the moment I arrived, the bouncer was rude and dismissive. He seemed to be in a bad mood and took it out on some people. This behavior made the environment feel unwelcoming and uncomfortable. I witnessed similar treatment of other customers, which was disappointing. Seriously this is a bar and we are not next to the "fancy pants" Eiffel Tower, I don't know what kind of "exclusive vibe" they are trying to give to this place but as a costumer don't encourage this behavior by going there, it will literally kill the chill and simple vibe of the neighborhood. As a costumer you have the power to take a stand. 💪

Subject: Unacceptable Conduct by Bouncer – Damage to Venue’s Reputation To Whom It May Concern, Last night, I had the unfortunate experience of encountering a bouncer at your establishment who is not only unprofessional but actively tarnishing your venue’s reputation. His behavior was aggressive, discriminatory, and outright degrading. If this is the standard of representation at your bar, you may want to reconsider your hiring practices. Here’s what happened: I am German, my wife is Brazilian, and we were meeting our French friends—whom we hadn’t seen in two years—to enjoy the Brazilian DJ performing at your venue. We arrived at 10 PM and patiently waited in line. By 10:20, we were at the front, still waiting due to capacity limits. During this time, we engaged in normal conversation, at times raising our volume slightly out of excitement. The bouncer aggressively warned us in French to lower our voices. I immediately apologized and adjusted. At 10:40, after a brief laugh among friends, he returned, launching into a tirade—again in French—despite my repeated apologies in English. What he didn’t realize was that my French friends understood every word. He was not just reprimanding me—he was outright insulting me, calling me “retarded” and questioning if I had a mind of my own, all while I was standing there respectfully. Then came the real issue: at around 11 PM, a french group of seven approached from a different direction. The same bouncer, who had ignored us for nearly an hour, suddenly became accommodating, offering to check capacity for them immediately. My friends confronted him in French, pointing out the blatant unfairness. His response? He claimed he “didn’t realize” we were waiting—because we hadn’t greeted him properly. A pathetic excuse for what was clearly intentional discrimination. At that point, he made it clear that we were never going to be let in. Instead of simply stating that, he wasted our time, insulted me repeatedly in a language he assumed I wouldn’t understand, and ultimately humiliated us for no reason other than his own prejudice. Even his fellow bouncer had to step in and tell him to stop. This kind of behavior isn’t just unprofessional—it’s outright unacceptable. It reflects poorly on your establishment and will inevitably drive customers away. A venue like yours should be known for its atmosphere, music, and experience—not for a power-tripping doorman who treats guests with open hostility. I suggest you take this matter seriously. Looking forward to your response. Best, Berk

The bar's retro decor and vintage vibe create a fun and lively atmosphere that is perfect for a night out. The bar also hosts live music events, adding to the overall ambiance and entertainment. Overall, Frequence bar is a great choice for a fun and festive night out in Paris.
