About the Vibe
Le Comptoir du Poulet is your go-to spot in the 20th for serious beer lovers who also want decent grub. With over 100 bottled beers and 10 on tap, they take their pint seriously—prices start at €5 during happy hour (5-9pm Mon-Sat). The grilled chicken is the star here, whether you're sharing a whole bird or grabbing a few wings. It's a no-frills, friendly neighborhood bar that feels like it belongs to the locals, not the tourists. Skip the fancy cocktail bars in Le Marais and come here instead if you want to hang out with a pint, maybe some fries or a charcuterie board, and not break the bank. The terrace is great for summer evenings, and they've got a screen for watching matches if you're into that. It's not glamorous, but it's honest, affordable, and consistently good.

Solid neighborhood beer bar with great value
Le Comptoir du Poulet is exactly the kind of place you'll find yourself returning to again and again. Located on Rue de Lagny in the 20th, it's a no-nonsense bar that prioritizes good beer and solid food over fancy decor. The beer selection is impressive for a neighborhood spot—over 100 bottles and a dozen on tap—and the happy hour (5-9pm weekdays) makes it a steal at €5 a pint. The grilled chicken is the main draw here; it's juicy, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. You can also grab wings, fries, or a charcuterie board if you're not feeling chicken.
The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious. It's the kind of place where locals hang out after work, students grab a cheap drink, or friends come to watch a match on the screen. The terrace is a nice touch in good weather, and while the service can be a bit rushed during peak times, that's part of the charm. It's not a destination for a romantic dinner, but for a casual night out with friends, it's hard to beat.
