Named for a Parisian district known for beatnik creatives and culture, you’ll find a packed dance floor and critically acclaimed live music acts ranging from experimental jazz to European R&B.
the Slavic band on Tuesdays brings an energy I've never experienced before when seeing live music. seriously amazing- get there early, get a cheapIPA, and get ready to want to take up the trumpet.
Great spot with live music in the back room. Front bar has the music vibe but isn't too loud. Justin will make you an amazing cocktail based on a few vague words from you on flavors & liquors you like
A favorite bar with excellent world/folk/jazz music on most nights. Be sure to see Stephane Wrembel, the gypsy jazz guitarist, on Sunday nights and pair with a beer or whiskey.
Lovely staff, relaxed environment, makes for a great relaxed drink with a friend, or a rustic and romantic date. Step into the back for a very culturally diverse set of musicperformances.
Keep it local and head to Barbes. Eclectic and off the cusp live music most every night, readings and film showings. The drinks are classy and the people are real. My favorite is Slavic Soul Party!
Performances take place in the back room, where a pitcher is passed to collect the $10 suggested cover. Up front, the somewhat musty bar has a laid-back vibe and a full cocktail menu. Read more
