Sips and Surprises: From Mocktails to Mixology! Imagine sipping cocktails in an ice bar. Picture yourself wandering through a lush Amazonian jungle, all while enjoying your favorite drinks. Step into the heart of friendly competition as you challenge your friends to video game battles and ping-pong matches. Then, let time slip through your fingers as you journey back to the roaring '20s, a time of speakeasies and Prohibition.
Forget the usual tourist traps and clichés. Paris has a vibrant nightlife that's waiting to be discovered. This guide is your passport to the quirky, themed, and hidden bars!
While this guide primarily focuses on bars, it's worth noting that some of these places also offer food options and operate from lunchtime until late at night, often transitioning into lively party places as the evening unfolds.

A bit about me:
- In 2022, I quit my job and embarked on my very first extended solo trip to Paris, and it turned out to be a life-changing experience. Although I was initially hesitant about traveling solo, I soon discovered that it was a liberating and fulfilling way to explore the world. Since then, I've adopted a new rhythm to my life working remotely, dividing my time between the City of Lights and hometown my Athens. (currently in Paris)
- A music and fashion enthusiast, art and history lover. (Yes, also expect guides about these topics).
- Born and raised in Greece.

A bit about me:
- In 2022, I quit my job and embarked on my very first extended solo trip to Paris, and it turned out to be a life-changing experience. Although I was initially hesitant about traveling solo, I soon discovered that it was a liberating and fulfilling way to explore the world. Since then, I've adopted a new rhythm to my life working remotely, dividing my time between the City of Lights and hometown my Athens. (currently in Paris)
- A music and fashion enthusiast, art and history lover. (Yes, also expect guides about these topics).
- Born and raised in Greece.
