Can anyone who's been to paris recently recommend some fun hot spots to go out at night in Paris? A friend and I are traveling to paris over thanksgiving -- we're in our late twenties and not married. We plan to have casual dinners and then go out for drinks at different bars/cafes and at least one night try some clubs. Any recommendations would be appreciated, whether it be a trendy club or a fun, laid back bar with a great atmosphere and lots of locals. Thanks!

As many who post here have learned to ask...are you M or F?

Hi c,

These jazz clubs have been recommended:

Caveau des Oubliettes 52 rue de Galande

Caveau de la Huchette 5 rue de la Huchette

Oops, left out that bit of information--female!

Thanks for the jazz club tips and also the website...very helpful!

Just wander through the Beaubourg, Marais and Bastille/Oberkampf neighborhoods. Plenty of bars, pubs, club, bistros, cafes, etc. to check out. Chez Richard on rue Vielle du Temple is a great laid-back spot.

If you can decipher French, parissi.com and novaplanet.com are the best sites recommending the latest in-places in Paris. As Larry recommends it, you can't go wrong if you hover around the rue d'Oberkampf / rue Saint Maur area, with the ever "branché" Café Charbon for instance and plenty of little brothers around.
