Le Comptoir Général

Behind a doorway on the canal lies this amazing bar/community space, with a tiki room, several mini-living room setups and the front end of a magnificent ship. Quirky, cool and fun.

A really great loungey place for early evening or midnight drinks. People mostly 20-30 but you can find people of all ages. Style it up or go casual , it all works in this 60's Africa themed place

This bar-restaurant-expo-museum-and-whatnot serving as an outlet for African culture and sustainable development projects is one of the most exotic spots in Paris. Food has a great value for money . Read more

Pass through the little gate to enter. Amazing vibes inside and nice music with DJ . Cocktails wine and tapas , no restaurant service. Hard to find a table.

Super awesome complex of divey cocktail bars hidden just off the canal . Best to come by in the afternoon or early evening.

Very cool place at night, for those who are seeking to see a more energetic vibe of Paris. All about África. Good mix of People who dance , Talk eachother, Want to have fun! The DJ is very good!

Old 600 square-metre barn; offbeat, shabby chic bar , touched with colonial stylings in its black and white tiled floors, stylish chandeliers , red carpets and African souvenirs piled up in every corner

One of the best spots in Paris. Atmosphere is great, cocktails fantastic. Didn't try their brekkie but bet it's amazing too. Will come here again and again and again.

Recommended by LUXE - achingly hip , curio-packed, creaky-antiquey house of African brews, Creole cocktails , sizzling regional street fare, and seventies funk-a-tude.

Great cocktails , music and vibe! I enjoyed every second. But it was hot inside and closes too early for my taste. In the evening turning to a dance space and arrive early or you'll wait a while.

Cool genuine Parisian life...different experience from the touristic areas in the centre of Paris

Great vibe, good music , and rum based cocktails are quite strong and not expensive . You may queue a while to get in, but it's worth it. Awesome decoration!

Just awesome! I could spend weeks in this amazing place. Great music , great drinks and all the very best from the African culture.

Cool bar , very unique spot, which serves strong cocktails , food and an array of interesting pictures/art. Got taken by a friend who lives in the area, wouldn't have found it otherwise. Hidden gem

Fun rum concoctions served in a colonial pirates den. Weekdays are easier for entry. Expect lines on the weekends

A unique place, self styled as a "Ghetto museum "! Definitely worth a visit - have a chat with the staff , hear the story, have some food + browse the oddities, from retro cameras to the library .

Great ambience!It is a must even if you are too classy for these places. Not a long menu but good enough for drink choices (only beer , wine , vodka-based drinks and rhum-based ones) finger food was gr8

Trendy hipster bar . Cheap (not excellent) drinks. Cool spot to hang out. Try a Sunday to avoid the long lines on the weekend.

Walk through the unassuming gate to enter. Very eccentric interior with multiple bars and rooms. Find an open table or just stand at the bar . Try an aperol spritz .

Lovely bar , just lacking music and a more lively atmosphere . Go on Sunday night if you want more chances of getting a table

Amazing venue, kind of weird Congolese museum/house! Really good music too. Drinks aren't the nicest for the price, cheap Gin and cheap juice . Definitely worth a visit though

Better arriving early here after 21 you'll have a long queue before getting in but once you're in you be inside a rare 300m2 space and space is part of what you're looking and you're reward here.

A quite unique place in Paris that worths a visit. Nice people, eye-catching decoration and tasty cocktails . It's a little hidden but it's part of its charm.

I just love this place. Afro-Caribbean mixed with bohemian style and 80's video block busters. Service is fabulous and so is the food and drinks.

Very cozy place. Good to have some chat with friends and have some good cocktails !

What a weird place :D we just waited in the line because we were curious. You will find inside a big old pirate ship and lots of Caribbean vibes. Nice place!

Very cool, out of the way bar in Paris. Hard to find the entrance, but worth it - it feels very hidden and cool once you're there.

A dance floor for the brave. Fun vibe. Be prepared to stand - better yet, dance . Expensive drinks, but who cares? The crowd and the music will save the day!

You'll wait in line for a while to get in any time after 10:30. The staff is weird/rude & will give odd reasons to not let you in. Even though the music is good the bar is a mess.

This bar is a mix of cool things in one place. Interesting decoration, spacious , great vibe & drinks, vintage store , lost&found store.

Great atmosphere. Amazing cocktails . The VHS theme was very unique. Highly recommended!

Fantastic hip spot - part club, venue, school and cafe bar . Lots of dancing and great music when we were here.

Amazing vibe, hidden just off he canal Saint Martin

One of the most original places i know in Paris. Colonial african style art deco

Very nice atmosphere, cool and interesting wall decorations. One 'bar ' kind of area and a dancefloor. Would definately come again.

Love this place! If you come here when it's not too crowded , it's the perfect spot to drink a beer with friends

Cool place with a very creative vibe.. Mini museum , library , vintage shop , bar and restaurant all in one!

Love the atmosphere and original cocktails . The hibiscus tea is also a hit if you're not in the mood for booze

11 arr, next to my favourite canal st. martin. Great ambience and decor, cool place to have a drink with friends.

Definitely a bit of a scene, but so amazing and unique. A must visit for hip people in Paris.

The "Petit Musée de Francafrique" election T-shirt collection is one of the most awesome historical artifacts in any Paris museum .

Beautiful Garden , great museum about colonial history. Very urban.

Drinks and place are good, however the Sunday brunch is of a poor quality. They had a 16€ formula that included one piece of pastry , coffee and juice , bread and jam , and a salad

If you arrive around 12 the line is so long as they only let people in as they come out. Weird in a good way. Do not expect fancy cocktails but great atmosphere and fun dancing music .

Really cool atmosphere. Hip Crowd. The bar is a wooden ship. Yummy seaside style cocktails

No.1 place in Paris! Friendly staff , great decoration and there's a lovely vintage shop upstairs!

Awesome museum , bar , vintage shop combo!!! Loved it!

The hottest modern collection in the world! Plus, if you need a study spot , the main floor library is open to the public.

A little bit of Africa in Paris . There's enough space for everyone, but it can get crowded at night.

Incredible decor in a charming hidden place . Cocktails are pretty good especially if you like rum .
