Castel (aka Chez Castel) is the Big Kahuna of private Paris clubs, a three-story gold-and-red-velvet mansion with vaulted ceilings where celebrities like Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel cavort far from the St-Germain tourists. Making reservations at the two dining rooms (one more formal than the other) may ease your entry. If you don't get in, console yourself at the American resto Coffee Parisien across the street.
