Barrio Latino
Still squeezing the salsa theme for all that it’s worth, this enormous over-the-top bar-restaurant with serious dancing is spread over three highly impressive floors. It attracts Latinos, Latino wannabes, Latino wannahaves and a gay crowd. Don’t arrive too late; the queue to get in can be formidably long.

Sanz Sans
A little cheesy, a little sleazy, this lively bar clad in red velvet and zebra stripes continues to hold out as a busy drinking venue on the Bastille beat. DJs spin everything from electronic to funk and soul, and the crowd is similarly unpredictable.

Le Djoon
In an area increasingly known for its cutting-edge venues, this urbanite, New York–inspired loft club and restaurant has carved out a name for itself as a super-stylish weekend venue for soul, funk, deep house, garage and disco, courtesy of visiting DJs. Thursday and Sunday evenings are tamer but still DJ-fed dance. Look for the striking glass-and-steel façade.

Le Wagg
Although it’s not as hip as many Right Bank party spots, this slick, contemporary club (associated with the popular Fabric in London) isn’t as hard to get into, either. The dance floor starts filling up in the wee hours; check the website for parties and events including Sunday salsa class followed by une soirée 100% cubaine.

La Dame de Canton
This floating boîte (club) aboard a three-masted Chinese junk with a couple of world voyages under its belt bobs beneath the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Concerts range from pop and indie to electro, hip-hop, reggae and rock; afterwards DJs keep the young crowd moving. There’s also a popular restaurant and bar.

Le Redlight
Beneath Tour Montparnasse, this huge, laser-lit venue, fittingly called l’enfer (hell) in a previous life, is up there among Paris’ busiest house, techno and electro clubs. Its podiums get packed out with a young, dance-mad crowd well past dawn. Hours often vary depending on the soirée – see its website for flyers.
