On my first day in Paris, I was dying for a nap after not sleeping on my overnight flight but 'how…read moreto beat jet lag' tutorials advocate staying awake until local bedtime. I knew I wouldn't be able to make it until my usual bedtime of midnight-ish (that's a liberal ish), but 9pm seemed reasonable. It was a chilly fall night and a pint of Guinness or two sounded like the ideal nightcap, err, sleep inducer. A quick search on my Yelp app and a brisk 10-minute walk later, I arrived at The Quiet Man. Like most bars in Paris, the Quiet Man is tiny... especially tiny, even. However, the diminutive size was far less intimidating than walking into a bar filled with loud, jovial men and only one stool to be snagged. I never took my eyes off it while waiting for my perfectly-poured Guinness and stealthily made my way over before pouncing: all mine! Over the next 2 hours, I 'met' the guys next to me several times (close proximity is a powerful instigator of friendship), pretended like I understood everyone's Fast french while nodding and smiling, was gifted a Guinness from one of my elbow-mates, and embarked on a deep and lengthy political conversation in English with a 60-ish Frenchman who had previously lived in London and Dublin (sidenote: this convo took place right before the U.S. presidential election and everyone and their far-removed cousin expressed interest in hearing my opinion). A couple of Guinness later, I was sufficiently spent. And this cool unassuming dive, like its friendly patrons, won't be soon forgotten. PS: There's nothing quiet about the Quiet Man ;)

Unbelievably awesome bar... Music downstairs, meat & guinness on top. Best bar in Paris...fact!read more

Glad to see board games are thriving in Paris! Place was cool, with a huge collection of games to…read moreplay with friends and even some for sale in the front. Employees genuinely love board games and their passion shows in how they helped us pick a game. Would recommend going there with a few friends. For those of us who don't read French, it'll be hard to find games to play because most of the games are written in French.

This was a fabulous find!

The "korean" wings were pretty good, but nothing like the actual Korean wings I'm used to having in NYC. They also had a nice beer and cocktail menu, but I paid $10 for a small gimlet. Nice place to bring a date or to impress someone, but be prepared to spend some money.

The Wall is a small rock music themed bar with brick walls adorned with such fun items as a guitar…read moreand a crawling alligator. If you are walking around near the Place de contrescarpe, you can't miss it. It has small indoor seating that spills out front onto a patio that was packed tight around 8.30 every night, even during random weekdays, and they blare loud music that rocks the block. It's a small, casual place. They have a large list of cocktails, but avoid those, they are terrible. Don't let that deter you, though, because this is one of the best places to get a great deal. They offer €6 50 cl beers for happy hour, including a delicious, high abv mcchouffe. Bonus points for the soft orange string lights giving the bar a soft, romantic glow. Minus bonus points, though, because on both of our visits, the bathrooms had no toilet paper.

This bar has cheap pints (some beers are as cheap as 3.50, which is REALLY cheap in the Rue…read moreMouffetard area) however, that is about the only perk to this place. It gets HORRENDOUSLY crowded to the point that you'd have to have some kind of Alex Mack style incident to get through all of the people. I got a cigarette dropped on the top of my foot. Not that this will happen to you, but it's what happens when a bunch of drunkards congregate in one place. The service was slow, and the bouncer was practically a nazi trying to keep people with drinks on the terrace. I literally saw him chasing people down the street. The worst part of all? The bathroom. First off, the door to it was extremely hard to open from the outside unless you have good nails and are lucky enough to find the right angle to pull at. Then, if you do manage to get inside, there is a girl's toilet with NO toilet paper, which means you have to go back out to the bar to get some. When I asked for it they literally rolled me off a couple dozen squares and handed it to me. Once I finally got back in, did my business, then went to wash my hands only to see a guy peeing because at the sink your back is literally to the urinal (or should I say hole in the floor?) This place only earns a star back for me because when I told a French guy about it he said one of my favorite lost in translation quotes of all time. He told me I should get a device so I can pee standing up outside, and when explaining it said, "You put it in your sex and then you can pee where you dream!" I realize that this had nothing to do with the bar itself, but it made my day. That and I'm hungover from the cheap beer.
