Les Trois Brasseurs
This chain of European brewers has set up a great locale in the Quartier Latin. Four homegrown beers are always on tap and the menu has a number of great bistro-style bites. During summertime, sliding garage doors let in the cool night air.

L’Escogriffe
Though you’re apt to see some dubious characters staggering into this small, dungeon-like bar, the ‘um, what?’ factor is part of L’Esco’s punk-rock charm. Over the years many amazing bands have graced its tiny stage, and the bar continues to book bands some nights. Sundays, resident DJs spin laid-back new wave, indie rock and rockabilly, making this deliciously dark hole-in-the-wall ideal for knocking a few back with friends.

Tribe Hyperclub
Celebrity guests like P-Diddy and Paris Hilton, house, trance and techno DJs, and sexy patrons make this very hyper nightclub the go-to spot of thousands. Don’t forget the monstrous 100,000-watt sound system. If you’re ready for bottle service, book a table in advance.

Le Loft
A spiffed-up crowd of 18-to-25s turns up for mainstream rock and alternative on two dance floors, rough-edged murals and a great rooftop terrace. The wide metal staircase and ventilation ducts give the place a warehouse feel; the usual gear is jeans and T-shirts.
