Caveau de la Huchette

ncredible live jazz and a night out like nowhere else – worth every penny! Wow – this place is something else. Tucked away in the Latin Quarter, it looks unassuming from the outside, but once you’re in… what a night. We paid €14 each on the door and yes, drinks are pricey (around €11–€12 a pint), but honestly – you’re not here for the cheap booze, you’re here for the experience. The live jazz band was unreal – proper musicians who got the whole place moving. It opens at 9pm and fills up quickly. Early on, people sit around soaking in the music, but by the second set the dancing starts, and by the third the place absolutely goes off. We danced, laughed, chatted to people from all over the world, and properly partied the Parisian way. It’s dark, atmospheric, loud, packed – and just brilliant. An absolute must if you’re up for a proper night out with a twist.

I enjoyed the jazz bar performance so much, and dance, alcohol, and music satisfied both eyes, ears, and movements. I want to feel the excitement and atmosphere of the day again.

I have been back here every time I'm in Paris. Depending on the night, there might be room for dancing or you might be crushed in with other people, but there is always a crowd. It's underground, so be prepared for it to get hot with everyone inside. The music is always lively and perfect for dancing.

Had one of the best nights of my life here with my best friend! Such an original vibe, and a truly good time! Very young demographic in the crowd, of Parisians and tourists alike, all looking to have fun. All the best parts of English Clubbing but with actually good music and the chance to dance with a stranger and make new friends. Will be returning if I’m ever in Paris again!

Super lively and fun jazz club in the Latin quarter of Paris. The music stage is down the stairs into a cave. Very cool place. Gets crowded but you can generally find a seat upstairs or in a hidden cave off the main section. We had a lovely time listening to the band, bottle of wine and seated in the cave off center where there was no crowd! Hidden gem!

On Saturday night, I arrived too late and found an incredibly long line at the entrance, almost like people were queuing for concert tickets. So, on Sunday, I made sure to arrive early and finally got into this legendary jazz venue. The performance that day was by **Megaswing Quartet**, led by French jazz drummer **Stephane Roger**, featuring an energetic swing jazz style. However, to be honest, the music didn’t quite match my taste—it felt like ordering an espresso but getting a watered-down Americano instead. The atmosphere was there, but the flavor was lacking. The venue was incredibly small, and the dance floor barely had enough space for people to spin around without stepping on each other’s toes. The crowd was packed like sardines in a can, and the air was so thin that I began to suspect I was undergoing high-altitude training. After 30 minutes, I felt like I was suffocating, and one thought kept running through my mind: if anything went wrong, I might just end up stuck here forever. The organizers invited some dancers to perform, but the scene was far from what I expected. Watching a few elderly gentlemen with white hair and some rather overweight dancers attempt high-difficulty moves was both amusing and nerve-wracking. One particularly unfortunate moment involved a young girl being accidentally dropped onto the floor—it felt like I was witnessing a slow-motion wrestling match. The whole situation was awkward yet oddly comical. In conclusion, this venue is more suitable for soaking in the atmosphere rather than expecting top-notch music or dancing your heart out. If you enjoy the vibe of swing jazz, you might find it enjoyable here; but if you’re picky about music like me or looking to dance seriously, you’d better be prepared—or just find another place. And remember, safety first—don’t forget to bring an oxygen tank!

Came here on summer, on a monday, and for the jazz concerts. Entry is 14-16€ depending on the day, 10€ for students ; drinks are 7€+ (cocktails without alcohol were 7€, cocktails with alcohol were 12-16€ and might be strong) ; there are cocktails, beers, champagne, probably more. The band was great, the concert room was definitely very small, it was underground so no phone service. If you come here only for the music, definitely get in line early (even before 20h45 if you want the best seats). I definitely don't recommend coming here on summer because it gets hot and humid very quickly and crowded. From 22h and after, they let in a lot of people so if you only come for the concert I suggest you come for 21h-22h or 21h-23h30. Otherwise the atmosphere is very cool, the bathrooms were surprisingly not crowded. Cocktails have high demands so you might need to wait 30 minutes for your drinks, if you come early I suggest you get drinks as soon as you come in.

Really is a must see place regardless of price. It’s a club sure but it’s super iconic. ITS IN LA LA LAND. $5 cover, $15 cover, just pay it, buy a drink, listen to some jazz, sit, stand whatever your vibe is, whatever age. There is so much worse value thing to waste your money on in Paris. THIS AINT ONE OF THEM. Pay the price.

One of my most memorable nights in Paris. Arrive early, so you don't have to wait in a long line. The staff was friendly and everyone in the club was very kind and mindful of your personal space. It was definitely a bit hot inside, but the band was fabulous and such a cool experience to be in a cave-like venue listening to great jazz music.

Cute lively jazz bar that inspired the bar in La La Land! There is a cover charge to get in (cash or card) but if you show a student ID you can get a discounted cover. It was a really fun experience -- the best part is dancing with the locals, so don't be afraid to move your feet and don't shy away when someone wants to dance with you (they're probably not being weird, they just want to dance). It is really touristy though, so that's something to keep in mind. I heard English being spoken more than any other language and it was filled to the brim with Americans. I honestly wouldn't go back, but I'm glad I went at least once.

Great jazz bar in the Latin Quarter. Live music in the cave downstairs and a great vibe.

The most fun in Paris. Young and old and enjoying great music in a.very historic venue. Go and enjoy!!!

Really disappointing! While I can appreciate the history and the significance of this place I wouldn't visit again. Firstly there is a cover to get in (16€), and the cocktails are on the more expensive side (12€). The Moscow Mule was so sour that I couldn't drink it. The real bummer was how crowded it was! The cellar downstairs where the band plays is rather small. They let in so many people which causes there to barely be any room to move or see the performers/dancers! I really think they should limit admission/the amount of people they let in at a time. The jazz band playing was actually rather good and I was bummed that we couldn't actually enjoy their set. I would not recommend!

Wonderful experience! Made our Paris trip complete. Something fun for everyone! The music was spectacular

A speakeasy-style jazz bar that welcomes all ages. The building layout itself is super interesting. The ground floor you enter from seems to be the main bar area where you order drinks. Then go down to the basement for live jazz music and dancing! The spiral staircase with the old brick walls leading to the upstairs restroom seems like a secret passageway you'd find in a castle from centuries ago. It was my last night in Paris and I was pleasantly surprised at the large crowd on a late Tuesday night (came in almost at midnight). My partner and I couldn't find seats at the beginning but people come and go pretty fast here. The ambiance is casual and there's no pressure to order drinks or anything, but there is a 13 Euro cover fee which is very reasonable to support the jazz bands that perform here. One of the best things about this place is the crowd it attracts. Everyone is friendly and welcoming and the dance floor was constantly moving. I've never seen such amazing swing dancers before!

Reason enough to move to Paris! Why don't we have anything this wonderful in NYC? A bar above, a very atmospheric cave below, children, old people and everyone in between enjoying the amazing band, dancing sweatily, and having a great time. Go!

We spent four evenings visiting Jazz clubs in Paris on our most recent trip. If you're looking for a lively jazz club with dancing this is the spot!

I can't say it was perfect but it was close. It's a quaint spot where you see a blend of all ages. The bartender was just a gem humorous and welcoming and could be present with the tourist. This is a diamond in a sea of tourist populated places. It was 13,000 euros to get in . Drinks were reasonable and not a minimum need to drink. Seating was limited. But the talent was priceless. It was a swing night with a young band from Norway. They were great and all the people dancing was just a nice spot to experiencing something timeless.

Terribly crowded. Doesn't matter if you have a seat, people are standing right in front of you. Everyone crammef into a small cave with no air circulation. Typical choice by management of money over experience. Many other good jazz clubs in Paris that are about the music.

While spending a romantic week in Paris, we wanted to hit the town and dance the night away, and we had heard that Parisian Jazz was a must music scene. we decided to head to Caveau DH and we're surprised to have our cab drop us off right in front of Notre Dame in the Latin Quarter! This is was great plus for us because we got to enjoy the night view of the cathedral. We got to Caveau around 11pm and headed into the medival style stone bar and descended into the basement which is actually an old dungeon. The place has an incredible jazz band and vocalist, who blew the doors off the place all night. This place is for dancers and we wore our shoe soles out to some of the best live jazz we have ever heard. Great bar, and unforgettable ambience. Don't miss this spot on your next trip.

This place is so much fun! It's in the Latin Quarter and I would recommend if you're looking for a fun place to dance or just sit and watch people dance while you enjoy a drink.

Just being inside you get an automatic feeling of being transported in time. This place was cozy & intimate. The live music was great & we enjoyed watching the locals dance. Drinks were great & we enjoyed ourselves

Fun and fun! After paying the cover fee to the man in the little entry booth, I had no idea what to expect descending the stairs into the "cave." What I found, was a gem! I think I got there as the actual bar/club was opening so nothing was going on ... just yet. I went downstairs and plopped myself in the perfect area for watching the little stage and the dance floor. As I sat there, more and more people started heading down, each selecting their seats carefully. Then, the band came in and the party started. They played a set with no one dance ... just yet. The next set, and the cave getting now being crowded, the place was buzzing with people dancing. Some folks looked like professionals and others were just learning. It was awesome because everyone was having a good time! One of the things I loved most about this place is that it seemed to be a mix of locals and tourists and they were all dancing together. There was a lovely range of ages as well, from 20 something's to 70 something's. So wonderful! Some of the more seasoned dancers would ask others to dance and even teach them some moves. Some people were in their own world and cutting a rug all by themselves. There was no judgement ... just ... dancing and having fun ... and it was AWESOME! I did read a review of someone saying this place was touristy and not real jazz. I also heard another American sitting in earshot say, "this isn't real jazz." Here's what I say ... "Who cares?" I have no clue if what I was hearing was legit "Jazz" or "Swing" or a mix of both. I just know it was fun and people were having a marvelous time. I also know that many of the people having a good time in there weren't tourists as well. Whatever it is, its a good time if you want it to be ... and I had a great time there! My only regret is not getting up and trying some fancy moves myself. Oh well ... next time!

Man, this will not be for everyone! Yes, it can get really crowded but it's a fun, good natured crowd, not the typical crush of tourists pushing to get up the The Eiffel Tower with crying children. It does have some real physical quirks. For me, it only makes the place more interesting. For one thing, it's small. How small? On YouTube, type "La La Land Caveau de la Huchette," and you'll see that beautiful scene bathed in blue, with actor Ryan Gosling's character playing in a small jazz combo. Thing is, that's not the stage you're looking at. That is, pretty much, the whole of the music club, except the caverns that project off the dancefloor with tables, the tables and benches on the side of the floor, and the bar area upstairs. That's how small. Also, there are the well worn, winding, slippery, ancient stairs you are obliged to take up and down between the bar area on the street level, and the basement where the action is. But for goodness sakes, is there anywhere else in the world where you get to do the Lindy or the nasty shake to a great jumpin' blues band like Nirek Mokar and His Boogie Messengers in a 16th century Rosicrucian cave of mystery, once dubbed, "The Cave of Terror?" My money says there isn't. For music lovers and for grotto lovers, this is your experience. It's also the oldest jazz club in Paris. Kid Ory and, later, Lionel Hampton played here. But what really blew my mind, having been a jazz fan for more than 40 years, is that folks like me were joined by a large, dedicated contingent of international 20-somethings just cutting loose and having a great time. Want to see 20-somethings stop taking selfies? Go here. For one thing, I'm guessing they're too hip to be social influencers. Also, it's too crowded to get anything out of your pocket. On another note, our group doesn't drink alcohol anymore. We've had ours, already, and probably some of yours as well. We found their "mocktails" really thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The staff were all cordial, including the bartenders. Note that they know better than to hire wait staff to try to get down those treacherous stairs and through the crowd with drink trays, so go early, get one of the tippy tables in one of the emanating cavern-like structures where you can still see the stage, or on the tables and benches off to the side, then send two of your steadiest members back up those stairs to the bar for drinks. Sounds like too much effort for you? Stay home, grandpa. There are plenty of other music-loving, adventurous folks who crave places like this, besides me. Although it has much more charm, and while centuries older, is much better preserved now than that younger, bygone, NYC music landmark ever was in its day (now gone, of course) Caveau, for me, is like the CBGBs of Swing. If you wouldn't go to the Lower East Side to hear Rock & Roll, back in the day, then you probably want to stay out of Latin Quarter jazz caves at night, today. Maybe late hours at the Louvre or a rooibos tea at a café is more your speed. I don't know what their alcohol costs, but, as Ray Charles said, "Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash. You wanna have a ball? You gotta go out and spend some cash! ...And let the good times rollll..." Laissez le bon temps rouler!

Gotta say, amazing atmosphere. Came here around 10pm, paid cover, got a drink upstairs at this old school bar, and headed downstairs to the music. We had no idea what to expect, so we were plenty surprised when we saw that it was actually bunker! It was super packed and filled with people dancing to the music. Some of the old dudes in there can really dance. The band would switch up the styles here and there to accommodate different tastes, and all sounded great. Played some classics as well! Warning - it can be super super hot down there. We went in the summer and let's say the ice in my drinks didn't last very long. We were lucky and was able to grab a bench seat so we had a good time just people watching and listening to music. A lot of people stood for the whole time, and while doable, it's a bit less enjoyable, especially if people are walking by trying to find a spot the whole time.

Drinks seemed kinda expensive but then they were STRONG! Loved the silly little cave and all the old men laying it down on the dance floor. Would definitely go again. Keep in mind you have to battle at the bar to get a drink, but it is worth that and the cover.

Not at all what one would expect from what has been said as the second city for jazz clubs, following New York. I adore jazz and was very excited to check out some local spots. The band equated to a cheap cover band, and the crowd was entirely made up of tourists. Yes. I am a tourist myself. But if you are hoping to find a spot frequented by locals, this is not it. Pretty subpar music. Some dancing though! Lots of tourists very happy to be there. Not at all what we had hoped for though.

YEAAH...!!! THIS...IS...PARIS...!!! THIS PLACE WAS SO COOL...!!! The bar is dark and sinister in a 50s-60s film noir kind of way and then you go downstairs, and--BANG!--you are in the middle of a jumpin', swirlin', bumpin' jazz fest. People are spinnin', shakin', and going wild! It's entertaining just to sit on the side and watch (if you can find room because it gets packed). And if you are a dancer -- well this is your spot! This place was one of the highlights of our trip and I would definitely return.

This place was amazing!!! Had the best time listening to music and dancing! Such a fun night in Paris. Will def be back next time we are visiting Paris!

Good vibes all around, even on a Tuesday night. Great people, great music, great dancing (even if it's intimidating to dance because everyone is so damn good!). The La La Land cocktail made me laugh cuz this place was only in that movie for about 2 seconds but whatever, it's cute.

Great place to experience a true Paris institution. People of all ages dance swing dance in the basement. There are people who dance with their partners and people who dance with strangers. You signal that you want to dance by catching someone's eyes and smiling. It's a great place to people watch young and old just having a good time. You'll have to bring your own drink if you want alcohol in the basement because there's no bar. It was a 15 Euro cover on Friday night with live music.

It was an interesting experience for someone who had never been to a jazz bar before and although I would probably not go again, I definitely recommend for people who want a fun night out in Paris. The typical crowd is a bit older and on the weekends, it gets a bit crowded. It's also pricier than other jazz clubs in Paris, but the music and vibes were good!

It's been a favorite music spot for great jazz in the lively Latin Quarter neighborhood. During my one year at Sorbonne University to improve my French fluency, I lived several blocks away. Their drink menu is rather limited so don't expect fancy drinks. Come here expecting to meet cool folks and listen to great jazz music.

Amazing vibe and amazing music that goes late into the night. Good drinks, not as pricey as I would have thought. Also like that drinks aren't mandatory to buy. Came here twice on my recent trip to Paris and fell in love with it. I'd definitely go back!

This renowned place certainly lives to the hype, very friendly staff, and a very cozy place, the live band is always a bonus, the drink choices are limited though. The dance floor is nice and the place is somewhat clean. The place is usually filled with tourists but I would certainly come back...

This place is a must see on a Paris trip - absolutely the coolest/creepiest bar I've ever been inside of - and I mean that. The bathrooms are up a windy staircase that look like they lead into the catacombs, lol. Great drinks, great music and a very cool vibe that reminded me of a scene right out of Inglorious Bastards. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Amazing drinks and an amazing experience listening to the jazz in Paris! My boyfriend and I had such a great time listening to the music and watching the people dance! A must in Paris !!

On a long weekend in Paris, my guide book hinted at an underground Jazz scene. One of the locations recommended was Caveau de la Huchette. The four of us turned up to find a dead bar with no sign of music or a crowd...that was until we spotted a couple disappear to the left and not come back! Curiosity got the better of us, so we set off in the direction they went. Behind a curtain. Down some stone steps...and it was "going off!!" A crowd on the dance floor, band playing. Within minutes people had grabbed us and pulled us out onto the floor. A fantastic night! Highly recommended.

This is my favorite jazz club on God's green earth. I never never never miss it when I go to Paris. Players from all around come to play here and it's the real deal.

Wow! Talk about experiencing Paris at its finest. This bar/jazz venue will cost you 15e par personne but the experience and music should really cost you $75 each or more. Drinks are normally priced. This is the off season, winter, so it was typically busy at opening and then died down around 1. I would recommend getting there 5 or 10 minutes before opening to get a good seat around the dance floor/band. If not it's standing room only. Awesome bar service from Cynthia! Met a bunch of friendly Parisiennes and some tourists. TOP night!

This "cave" in the Latin Quarter has an upstairs bar and a downstairs room with red hot jazz and blues! People of all ages, races and creeds dance to the swinging sounds of the local musicians. Old folks dancing with young folks, people switching partners after every song... It's one big party! Everyone is having a great time, and it's truly a pleasure to observe people without inhibition embracing the joie de vivre (joys of life). This venue has been open for many years, and famous musicians such as Lionel Hampton have payed their dues in these Parisian confines. Full liquor and a limited assortment of beer. I think they had 4 or 5 beers, which isn't impressive considering the average Orlando bar has over 30 beers. But if you're here then you're in Paris, so suck it up. Highly recommended if you enjoy live music, and tripping the light fantastic.

This was my second time to this club, the first time being many moons ago with a local Parisian. I stumbled onto it this round by accident as a tourist while in search of a great jazz club. Once in the door, I immediately followed the music down the stairs to a super cool cave with seats lining all sides. A great four piece jazz band was playing and several couples were braving the dance floor with giant smiles on their faces. The crowd was a cool mix- some older couples lined the lower seats and were obviously there for the jazz. Some smooth dancers who seemed like regulars were obviously there to bust a move. Others (like me) were loving the whole vibe and just taking it all in. The drinks, music and general ambiance left me wondering why we don't have something like this back home. The only detractor was the lack of fresh air down there - it got a little stale but loved the atmosphere enough to not really care. Definitely a fun and unique place to go with friends and let loose! : )

If you're looking for a jazz club or a place to swing dance in central Paris, the Caveau de la Huchette is just steps from Notre Dame and the St. Michele Metro. The building dates to the 16th Century, became a jazz club in 1946, and has featured numerous jazz legends over the decades. Walk inside, hang a left, and go down the stairs to the "cave", where you'll find a smooth dance floor in a Gothic basement, with a crowd swinging to the poppin' tunes being played by a live band of hep cats. (Check the website to see what time the music starts - usually 9:30). As the evening progresses, the dance floor slowly gets more crowded with dancers -- from expert lindy hoppers to absolute beginners -- from all over the world. A few people have complained that the cave is touristy, and it's true: the night I was there I danced with beautiful girls from Virginia, Minnesota, UK, Australia, and even New Zealand. It was quite an imposition to spend one of my nights in Paris with all those tourists, but every now and then you just have to take one for the team. But I have to qualify my review by noting that the bar upstairs is complete waste of time, unless you're into overpriced, watered-down drinks. Come for the music and dancing. Skip the bar. And, btw, skip the other lame bars on this touristy street. You can see a minute of the dancing here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/starbuck77/10024488625/in/set-72157636064684243

I am split down the middle for this place. If you are looking for Jazz, they for sure have some good stuff. But, as you walk down this cheesy street (NEVER go into a bar that the bar itself has to advertise, by having workers try and convince and haggle at you from the doorway) That is all this street offered. The drinks here are absurd. I realize they need to make up the money for the band, but a shot of whiskey and I mean.... the smallest shot ever is 10 euros. A Heineken is 7 Euros a bottle. Wine is ridiculously overpriced as well. The music was good, but not for the cost.

I didn't know what to think when I peeked inside and saw the bar completely empty. Little did I know that the downstairs was filled with people. It's very small and crowded with not much seating, but it's a fun little cave. It's definitely worth going if there is a decent band playing.

seems to feature swing-boogie bands and boppers often so best to check the website first. popular with students due to proximity to sorbonne and tourists who flock to St. Michel for cheap eats. occasional magic like one night when a young french saxophonist played a solo of the John Coltrane classic My Favorite Things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTPhk__KGmU

If you find yourself in Paris run, do not walk to Le Caveau. Seriously. You'll either love it or you won't. It isn't for everyone and that's okay. There can be a wait at the bar but I've dealt with far worse.

I found this place one night strolling through Paris while it was pouring outside. Seeking comfort and warmth, I heard into the jazz club that led me into a dimly lit bar room. The sounds of jazz music resonated throughout the hallway and filled the room. After ordering a bottle of wine I followed the music down the spiral stone steps into a former WWI underground bunker where I discovered a mass amount of people swing dancing on the dance floor while the live jazz band was doing its thing. This was the best night of my life.

Awesome jazz club. The only negative is the bar is upstairs and the music is downstairs. Great place to listen to music and dance.

I went here expecting it to be some awful touristy schlock. I left here full of wine and happiness (the rainbows and stars and fuzzy kittens kind). At first, it seemed as if it would be a long night. We went here as our guests from London had requested a jazz venue (as per their top 20 things to do in Paris guidebook suggestions). We arrived at ten, and already, most seats in the 500 yr. old stone cellar had filled. We did manage a spot where the four of us could sit together and still see the band, but barely. The space is intimate (SMALL). At first, it was just ok. The band, admittedly, was good - high energy, creative, engaging. The crowd, however, was staid and about half tourists and half French, many of them playing an awkward game of musical chairs for the few remaining bench spots. Then, one couple got up to dance. Then another. The mood changed. No longer were the audience passive listeners. We became active particpants. A man in dungarees (overalls), who was pushing at least 70, tore up the dancefloor with a woman half his age. Someone asked me to dance and I was whirled around like Ginger Rogers. The vibe here (once the crowd warms up) is friendly and social (as long as they're not fighting for a seat on one of the benches that line the walls). Wine is reasonably priced if you buy it by the bottle. The cover is EUR14. All in all, completely charming. See you next week? Wear your dancing shoes.

Awesome jazz bar I checked out at the recommendation of the hotel bartender across town. It was a swing jazz theme the night I went. Go downstairs. It's a little warm with the crowd and enclosed place. Awesome 8 piece band, friendly crowd and delicious drinks. I enjoyed the gin fizz - twice! :-) Also great bar street to grab a snack afterwards before you call it a night.

A great diversion in Paris. The cover was 13e, beers 6e. Limited libations; I'd recommend drinks beforehand. Don't be deceived by the lifeless bar, all the fun is downstairs. I checked out a swing band that played jazz and swing covers well. The dancers (looks to be a club, with lots of partner swapping, and prtty skiiled) were added entertainment. The small cellar makes for a very live room, so the acoustics are quite good. Not a lot of seating, maybe 30 decent spots on benches or sofas along the walls, so if you show up later you'll be standing. The big surprise was seeing parents dragging along teens. What a great exposure to jazz, and they didn't seem out of place. Worth the visit if you like good music.

A really nice looking place, with a promising program: Warren Vache on trompet. Pero what a disappointment, how can it be that a musician that talented can sit there without any interest or connection with the performance - a pity

Outstanding. Old dude and girlfriend had a blast. Cool vibe. Great music. Hello 2 AM!!!

Such a cool part of Paris. We love finding jazz clubs and this was one of the best. We weren't expecting much On a Sunday night but it was hopping. A 14 prodigy on the piano, incredible quintet and some of the best damn dancers I've ever seen. We loved every minute and somehow managed to meet some Americans from our home state of Nebraska!! A must go if you're in a Paris!!

If you're in Paris, you HAVE to come here!!!! Bartender's cool and the downstairs is tons of FUN!!! People are super friendly and drinks are well balanced and delicious!

We had a fantastic time! Do NOT miss this club when you are in Paris. What's Paris without going down to a cave (and it's really an interesting climb down to 16th century cave where you can just "see" how they might have imprisoned & tortured someone down there!) and listening to great, live jazz! Mid-August is when everyone in France takes vacations (down to south of France mostly) so the crowd wasn't as bad when we arrived at the bar. The 13 Euro cover per person, how great was that?! What you end up spending on are drinks at the ground floor bar, tended by Marcus. On the night we were there, Al Copley Trio was playing and they had the place hopping with swing, blues, 50-60's music to dance to! The antics of some (female) patrons were very amusing to watch as well. The basement cave was rocking and the acoustics were awesome! I can not emphasize this enough: Do NOT miss this club when you are in Paris!
