Because very famous artists and chanson singers from the end of 19th to the beginning of 20th gathered at here to communicate with various people and drink alcohol and watch dancing of cabaret dancers. Picasso, Modigliani, Apollinaire, and Utrillo, and famous cabaret singer, Aristide Bruant. In 1875, the artist Andre Gill painted Lapin Agile's sign that was to suggest its permanent name. It was a picture of a rabbit jumping out of a saucepan, and residents began calling their neighbourhood night-club Le Lapin à Gill, meaning "Gill's rabbit." Over time, the name had evolved into "Cabaret Au Lapin Agile," or the Nimble Rabbit Cabaret. The original painting on canvas was stolen in 1893; a reproduction on timber was painted to take its place. The Lapin Agile was bought in the early twentieth century by the cabaret singer, comedian, and nightclub owner Aristide Bruant to save it from demolition. The Lapin Agile became a favourite spot for struggling artists and writers, including Picasso, Modigliani, Apollinaire, and Utrillo. The Lapin Agile is located in the centre of the Montmartre district in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, behind and slightly northwest of Sacre Coeur Basilica. Since this was the heart of artistic Paris at the turn of the twentieth century, there was much discussion at the cabaret about "the meaning of art." The Lapin Agile also was popular with Montmartre residents including pimps, eccentrics, poorer people, local anarchists, as well as with students from the Latin Quarter and a sprinkling of upper-class bourgeoisie. Pablo Picasso's 1905 oil painting, Au Lapin Agile ("At the Lapin Agile") helped to make this cabaret world-famous. The cabaret was often captured on canvas by another Montmartre artist, Maurice Utrillo.

The place is super cozy, beautifully and authentically decorated. There is persian writing on the walls, colorful cushions, a library, an iranian menu, etc. The service was a bit slow but the gentleman serving us was kind. It is a great place to come in the afternoon for tea and a snack, on your own to read or do a bit of work (theres wifi), or to catch up with friends. We came on a Monday afternoon and it was very quiet inside. Food - total 32 euros 1) mirza ghazemi - delicious, would order again. Large portion. 9 dollars. Very fair price. Came with bread too 2) zereshk polo with chicken - do NOT recommend. It was cold when we received it. It looked like it came with joujeh kabob (chicken kabob) but it tasted more like chicken tikka (which is indian). The chicken was very dry. There were also maybe 8 zereshk (berberries) total. Portion was small. Only 3 pieces of chicken. It came with an undressed salad (lettuce & tomatoes only). The mirza ghasemi also came with this. 14 euros. Very bad for quality & size. 3) ash reshte - neat they have this on the menu. It was very good. Fair portion. 9 euros.

I had brunch here not too long ago... and I won't be going back. Not for brunch that is…read more It was served buffet style and to begin with I'm not a huge fan of buffets (where are we, vegas?!?!) so that was a disappointment. The service was slow, and they were constantly running out of juice (not fresh, but from concentrate). There were some interesting selections at the buffet but it seemed as if the food had been picked over and left out for too long... The only plus was the what seemed like a bottomless bacon tray. And for that they get a star. The second star is for the location. If the weather is nice, you can enjoy your meal on a charming terrace ! It almost makes up for the food.

The room was small (you can fit about 80 people), but to my surprise it didn't reek of popcorn or similar stuff.

From what I could see, it seems to specialize in "niche" movies; In my case, some Japanese animation movie I couldn't find in any other theater.

Folies Bergere 03/20/20…read more My first visit to Paris we had tickets to a show at Folies Bergère. The experience was one that is burned into my memory. The place is historic. Beautiful chandeliers came down from the ceiling. Women in feathered costumes were on stage and hanging from the chandeliers. Nudity unseen in my world at that time can not be forgotten. Needless to say I've never been to a show like that again. I can see by the recent reviews the place is not the same. Shows like Cabaret and Zorro can not replicate the spirit of the original shows. I see that Yelpers are not posting or reviewing. Maybe it's a Senior Citizen crowd now. What I know: "Folies Bergère is a cabaret music hall, located at 32 rue Richer in the 9th Arrondissement, the Folies Bergère was built as an opera house by the architect Plumeret. It opened on 2 May 1869 as the Folies Trévise, with light entertainment including operettas, comic opera, popular songs, and gymnastics. It became the Folies Bergère on 13 September 1872, named after nearby rue Bergère. The house was at the height of its fame and popularity from the 1890s' through the 1920s." The Folies Bergère inspired the Ziegfeld Follies in the United States and other similar shows. The Folies Bergère catered to popular taste. Shows featured elaborate costumes; the women's were frequently revealing, practically leaving them naked, and shows often contained a good deal of nudity. In 1926 Josephine Baker was brought over from NYC. Many notable performers have entertained the audiences at the Folies. CC Wikipedia If you want more info look online. I'm so glad I saw one of the traditional performances before they faded into the past. The photos I'm posting are from Wikipedia. They are Public Domain. I don't need a photo. I remember my experience like it was yesterday. I had a peak experience that I enjoyed immensely.

My fiance's friends planned a surprise bachelor party for him in Paris, and the night ended here with bottles of champagne (though, this is more of a Spring Break-inspired cocktails kind of place -- check the menu photo of "indie" and "mainstream" cocktails), 80s DJ dancing, and a mashed-up crowd of punk-hipster types. Very unpretentious, and it shows especially in the bathroom (grossssss). A fun spot for sure, and probably displays "real" Parisian life better than the touristy spots that lure so easily.

There is a nice cocktail list plus of course wine - Paris seems to be big on umbrella drinks and every cocktail bar seems to have a pina colada on the menu along with a couple fruity drinks plus a mojito and a mule drink, plus maybe a caipirinha or margarita or gin & tonic. The list here is along these lines, but they do a pretty good job other than the fact that you get your one drink, watch the show downstairs, and then pretty much every patron had an empty glass shortly into the first music set. Missed revenue, but I guess that's not my concern. Downstairs is a tiny room for music (and apparently comedy shows) that seats no more than about 30 in a cramped space with 5 tiny rows of 4 chairs plus a couple tables & benches on the side. On the night we attended the music was fine, a 3 piece jazz band playing some unique but fairly sleepy stuff. It was the first time a couple of the musicians had played together but they did a good job and it was worth the 10 Euro charge in order to catch some music. Paris is big on Jazz, but admittedly I'm a little spoiled in New Orleans yet it was well worth a visit to Bab Ilo. If I'm in the neighborhood I would go back, but wouldn't venture too far across Paris to come here.

The the place seems to have been built for circus-style events. The room is round with dance platforms going gradually down towards the stage. There are little side booths to sit with your friends when and if you need to take a breather. Drinks are fairly reasonable price-wise and there is no bottle service, which I think is a plus because it cuts the whole elitist vibe so many clubs encourage. There are a couple drawbacks that prevent me from placing the fifth star on this place - I reserve 5 starts for places I love and will go back to as much as I can. I will be going back to this place so here are the drawbacks: there is always a line for the bathroom and for the coat check and at the beginning, half of the people in line for the bathroom think they are in line for the coat check... Also, it seems like there is almost no benefit from having purchased tickets in advance because everyone waits in line together and in general the entry process is not very well organized. If they just did a little better with the organization of these kinds of things, this place would be so much more fun. Leaving these aspects behind, this place is wonderful. I recommend it wholeheartedly - just make sure you find a good lineup for the night you go. My favorite "regular" party is Jungle Juice.
