Bastille's original craft beer pub, still going strong
If you're looking for a proper pint in Paris, The Frog Revolution has been doing it longer than most — since 1993, to be exact. This Bastille pub brews its own beer and runs 24 taps, which is impressive for central Paris. The house beers are solid and genuinely original; you'll find everything from crisp lagers to more adventurous seasonal brews. Happy hour runs from 17h to 20h and is the smart time to go — prices drop and the crowd is a good mix of locals and expats.
Beyond the beer, the food is better than it needs to be. The American BBQ and soul food menu — burgers, wings, ribs — hits the spot when you want something hearty late at night. The kitchen stays open late seven nights a week, which is rare in Paris and a real draw. Reviewers consistently praise the ambiance and the service, calling it "irréprochable." It's not a quiet spot — expect noise, energy, and a crowd that's there to have fun — but that's exactly the point.
