Affiché en ENCheap pints (€3.30 happy hour), late-night DJ sets, and weekend hours until 5am make this the go-to party bar on Bastille's iconic Rue de Lappe.
Arrive during happy hour for €3.30 pints, but don't expect the party to really start until later in the evening when the DJ kicks in.
Cheap pints and late-night DJ sets on Rue de Lappe
Red Factory is the kind of bar you go to when you want a straightforward, unpretentious night out in Bastille. Located on Rue de Lappe — one of Paris's most iconic party streets — it fits right in with its loud music, cheap drinks, and zero-attitude vibe. Happy hour pints at €3.30 are hard to beat anywhere in central Paris, and the staff are consistently praised as friendly and welcoming, which isn't always a given on this street.
The place really comes alive later in the evening when the DJ kicks in and the dance music starts. That's both its strength and its weakness — reviewers note that the danceable music starts a bit late, so if you show up too early you might find it a little quiet. But once it gets going, it's a fun, high-energy spot. They also serve pizza, which is a nice touch when you need something to soak up those cheap pints.
It's not a craft cocktail bar or a wine bar — don't come here expecting refinement. Come here with a group, take advantage of the happy hour, and enjoy the fact that it stays open until 5am on weekends. It's a reliable Bastille standby for when you just want to drink, dance, and not spend a fortune.

Le Red Factory, c'est le bar sans prise de tête de la rue de Lappe. Ici, pas de chichis : des pintes à 3,30€ en happy hour, un DJ qui monte le son au fil de la soirée, et une ambiance clairement tournée vers la fête. Le personnel est sympa et accueillant, ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas dans le quartier de Bastille où certains bars peuvent être expéditifs.
Le seul vrai défaut, c'est que la musique dansante démarre tardivement. Si vous arrivez trop tôt, vous risquez de trouver l'ambiance un peu molle. Mais une fois que le DJ lance les platines, l'endroit prend vie et devient un vrai spot pour danser sans se ruiner. Ils font aussi des pizzas, pratique pour caler l'estomac entre deux pintes.
C'est pas le bar où vous allez pour déguster un cocktail signature ou un vin naturel. C'est le bar où vous allez avec vos potes, vous profitez de l'happy hour, et vous restez jusqu'au bout de la nuit — jusqu'à 5h du matin le week-end. Une valeur sûre de la rue de Lappe pour faire la fête sans se ruiner.
