Pub Crawls in Paris

Paris has two pub crawls and they run different parts of the city. The Bastille Pub Crawl starts at Bastille metro every Thursday and Saturday, five venues in four hours for €15. The Latin Quarter Bar Crawl runs Fridays from Saint-Michel, ending near Rue Mouffetard around midnight for €20. Both are backpacker-built circuits: the Bastille crawl ends at a club, the Latin Quarter crawl ends at the bars. Neither one asks you to pretend you are in Paris. They just get you into it.

The Paris Nightlife Scene

Paris nightlife does not concentrate in one district. Oberkampf and Ménilmontant in the 11th hold the bars where locals actually spend their weekday evenings. Pigalle runs later and louder, particularly around Rue des Martyrs. The Latin Quarter around Rue Mouffetard is students and tourists. All three are accessible by metro before the last service at 1:15 am on weekdays or 2:15 am on weekends.

What you'll pay

Drinks at Oberkampf bars run €5 to €7 for a draught beer, €10 to €13 for a cocktail. Pigalle's Le Hasard Ludique charges €12 entry on Fridays with a drink included. Club entry at mainstream venues near Bastille runs €10 to €20. Budget €40 to €60 for a night that includes club entry and four to five drinks. Prices verified April 2026.

Best nights to go

Friday drives the most movement: Oberkampf fills from 9 pm, the Bastille area stays busy until 4 am, and the Latin Quarter crowds thin enough by midnight that Rue Mouffetard becomes walkable again. Saturday tends toward larger groups and longer queues. Thursday in the 11th has a consistent following among local regulars who treat it as the real start of the weekend.

What You Will Pay

The Bastille Pub Crawl is €15, which covers entry to five venues and a free shot at each stop, with a drink discount at the final club. The Latin Quarter Bar Crawl is €20 on Fridays, including a welcome drink and shots across five bars over four hours. Budget €10 to €20 on top for drinks not included in the ticket: cocktails in Bastille bars run €8 to €12, beer is €5 to €7 at most stops. Both crawls are competitive against buying drinks independently at the same venues.

Best Night to Go

Friday covers the most ground: Latin Quarter Bar Crawl ends near the clubs, and Oberkampf is a short walk from Rue Mouffetard. Saturday's Bastille crawl draws the bigger crowd, better for anyone who wants the full organised experience without a plan.
