Chez Pierrot doesn't look like much from the outside — and that's the whole point. This tiny Caribbean bar has been pouring the best ti punch on rue de Lappe since 2004, earning its self-proclaimed title as "l'Ambassade des Antilles à Paris." Zouk on the speakers, rhum agricole behind the bar, and an welcome that feels like a family gathering in Martinique. Skip the flashy cocktail bars on this street and come here for the real deal.
Unassuming Caribbean bar on rue de Lappe pouring genuine ti punch and rhums arrangés with zouk cranked up — 21 years and counting as Bastille's Antillean embassy.
Go on a Friday or Saturday evening when rue de Lappe is buzzing and the zouk is turned up — that's when Chez Pierrot truly comes alive.
The real Antilles in Bastille — ti punch and zouk since 2004
Chez Pierrot doesn't look like much from the outside — and that's exactly the point. Tucked into rue de Lappe, a street with no shortage of bars competing for your attention, this tiny Caribbean outpost has been quietly pouring the best ti punch in Bastille since 2004. The Google reviewers aren't wrong: "petit bar qui paie pas de mine" (small bar that doesn't look like much), but it's the one people keep coming back to.
Inside, it's all Antilles energy — zouk on the speakers, rhum agricole behind the bar, and a staff that treats you like you've just arrived at a family gathering in Martinique. The menu leans hard into the classics: ti punch (the real deal, not the tourist version), planteur, and an impressive selection of rhums arrangés that have been macerating who-knows-how-long. They also do a solid mojito and surprisingly good coffee if you need a break from the rum.
This isn't a place you come for a fancy cocktail or a sit-down dinner. You come for the vibe, the music, and the feeling that you've stumbled into someone's living room in Fort-de-France. Prices are reasonable, the crowd is loyal, and after 21 years, Chez Pierrot has earned its self-proclaimed title as "l'Ambassade des Antilles à Paris." Go on a weekend evening when the street is buzzing and the zouk is cranked up.
