Location, location.

Being the geographic centre of the Marais has benefitted this bar far more than it deserves. Reliably busy most evenings until 11 or 12. People tend to meet their friends here after work so people often hang out in cliques. Not easy (but not impossible) if you're on your own or don't speak French. Tourists and English speaking locals are quite friendly, however. Previous reviews of bar staff is 100% true. They're slow, unwelcoming and sometimes dishonest- count your change! Basically, Open Cafe is good for one or two happy hour pints around 7pm, then you should move on to FreeDJ or Cox.

Mon QG

Super la terrasse à l'angle, le staff est mignon et on mange pour pas cher. C'est notre rendez-vous du soir: blindé à l'Happy Hour, j'adore

Nice bar

One of the only where you can chat with unknown guys when you're alone in Paris! Good place to start a good night!
