Out and about is still one of my preferred ways to connect with possible love interests, not all Paris bars are best for mingling either fellow singles. Mauri 7 β Located across the street from Chez Jeannette below , this bar tends to attract a younger, lively crowd that spills out onto the street.
Cheap drinks and conversations with strangers are flowing steadily. Le Petit Village β The spirit of the little village of Les Batignolles lives on, at night that is, at this friendly neighborhood hangout. Le Mansart β Filled with a mostly young, bustling hipster crowd, this cool SoPi bar is a great place to socialize and chat up cute strangers. A quirky ambience, lots of outdoor seating or open space for mingling inside. La Fourmi β This grungy bar has a busy mix of ages having a beer or pichet de vin, a laid back atmosphere, the seating and space around the bar allows for good flirting.
Ground Control β Located in former train buildings next to the Gare de Lyon, this sprawling complex has plenty of flirting opportunities, especially when the weather is nice and people are hanging out outside in their various trains and buses. Enjoy the shoulder rubbing! Le Petit Bain β this is a good option for socializing amidst a slightly older yet not exclusively crowd. The upstairs terrace is good for chatting. In summer this expands onto the quai. There is also a concert venue within the boat where you can carry on your night.
Dirty Dick β This funky Tiki bar is the most social of the cool cocktail joints that now occupy the former escort girl bars on rue Frochet. Stand around the bar to mingle with a both French and international crowd. Tiger β The only gin focused bar in Paris is also located on lively rue Princesse. Sunset β One of my coup de coeur, this hip yet unpretentious bar in the 18th has a great vibe and the best quality-price ratio for cocktails in the city.
Little Red Door β This speakeasy style bar hidden in the Marais has excellent cocktails and a bustling vibe especially on weekends. Laid back yet trendy on the weekend it usually gets buzzing. If not you can always head down the street to Chez Jeannette or Mauri 7.
