MontVénus is the first queer and feminist cocktail bar in Montreuil — and honestly, it's exactly the kind of place this neighborhood needed. Opened by Hélène Carreira and Andréa Bellemere-Laussat, it's a warm, politically engaged spot where the cocktails are homemade with local and seasonal ingredients, everything is vegan-friendly, and the programming (drag, art, music) keeps things lively. You'll feel the inclusive, community-driven energy the moment you walk in.
Montreuil's first queer feminist cocktail bar — homemade seasonal drinks, vegan options, and a programming lineup that turns a night out into a community event.
Check their Instagram for event nights — drag shows and DJ sets draw big crowds, so arrive early if there's something programmed.
The queer cocktail bar Montreuil was missing
MontVénus fills a real gap in the eastern Paris suburbs — it's the first queer and feminist bar in Montreuil, and it does so with genuine heart rather than just marketing. Hélène and Andréa have built a space that feels safe, warm, and unapologetically engaged, where the cocktails are crafted from local and seasonal ingredients and there's always a vegan option on the menu. The drinks are creative and reasonably priced for the quality, and the team clearly cares about what goes into each glass.
Beyond the bar itself, MontVénus shines through its programming: drag shows, art exhibitions, DJ sets, and community events that make it more than just a place to grab a drink. The vibe is inclusive and festive without being performative — you get the sense that everyone is genuinely welcome here. It can get busy on event nights, so check their Instagram for the schedule and arrive early if there's a show. A real asset for Montreuil's nightlife scene.
