Okay, it was a bit of a hike from our hotel, but it was certainly worth it, even if it was just for the atmosphere. Mind you, when I first saw it after stepping out of the alley (and being warmly greeted by some guys standing there), I could see that this was definitely a pretty popular bar, and when we ended up chatting with one of the patrons for most of the night it certainly left an impression on me that is going to stay for quite a while. As I said to one of them, why go to a foreign country when you are not going to mix with the locals - that is one of the best ways to actually experience other places (though of course there are those who simply treat them like museum pieces and spectacles).

I love the new decor of the "floor" which makes me want to stay longer to chat, drink a beer... There are two concert halls inside and I have to admit that I prefer the atmosphere of the small one.

The unique history of the decor shows that the owners went above and beyond to make you feel like you're in the U.S. Be sure to ask about the cool, vintage ceiling and where the floor is from! The menu is great with a variety of hamburgers, sandwiches, salads, and a very popular dessert menu. I had the chicken sandwich with the best French fries! f you have a chance, make sure you sit out on the terrace across the street and order a cocktail. All of the cocktails are from famous movies and they even have Californian wine. The staff was really nice and contributed to the great atmosphere. Overall, Clap Cafe made me feel like I was in the U.S. Too bad LA doesn't have one because I can't wait to go back!

Niché au 2ème étage, au dessus d'un restaurant japonais, la terrasse offre une vue imprenable sur l'arche de la défense et ses buildings. Notre établissement ne reçois pas de Live Band, contrairement à ce qu'on pourrait attendre d'un véritable club de jazz. Mais la musique est bel et bien le noyau de se projet. Nous ne diffusons pas uniquement du jazz. Notre repertoire est vaste et varié ....Soul, R'n'B , Deep House, Lounge Music, Funk , Rap , Jazz , Blues........ Notre salon est cosy et intimiste, l'endroit recherché pour boire un verre entre amis, autour d'une chicha.
