Bar · Hôpital Saint-Louis · 109 tips and reviews
Tim Crook: Former cargo warehouse turned underground art centre, run by art collective Usines Ephemères. Catch an exhibition or a debate during the day, and cutting edge sounds in the evening.
Tim Crook: Paris's answer to London's Dirty Water Club - a garage rock hangout that hosts live shows alongside northern soul, ska, mod, ye ye and rock'n'roll club nights.
Tim Crook: Indie bar. Live bands play Tuesdays (and ocassionally Wednesdays and Sundays too), DJ sets every other night of the week. Pop quiz every second Sunday.
Tim Crook: Not an indie hangout as such. Worth visiting if you want to soak up some genuine Left Bank ambience, while listening to their jukebox stuffed with Jacques Brel and cool old French pop.
Tim Crook: Champions cutting edge electro bands live. During the day, Batofar is also a community gathering that serves as a restaurant, café and a summertime "beach" hang-out
French Restaurant · Faubourg-Montmartre · 34 tips and reviews
Camilla Roesen: A really charming old authentic Parisian place with good food and Wine to a reasonable price. The service was excellent and very sweet. A visit worth.
Tim Crook: Wine shop with very cute and cosy wine bar at the back (or the front, if you enter from the gallery). Nice appetizers, hams, cheeses, and great wines.

Beer Garden · Clignancourt · 18 tips and reviews
Tim Crook: Fun bar, lots of people, kind of an indie vibe although the music is your typical French mix of whatever musical miscellanea happens to pop-up in the DJ's mind at the time.
