What to do and see in Saint-Merri, Ile-de-France: The Best Bars & Clubs
Lingering over pain au chocolat in a sidewalk café, relaxing after a day of strolling along the Seine and marveling at icons like the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe… the perfect Paris experience combines leisure and liveliness with enough time to savor both an exquisite meal and exhibits at the Louvre. Awaken your spirit at Notre Dame, bargain hunt at the Marché aux Puces de Montreuil or for goodies at the Marché Biologique Raspail, then cap it all off with a risqué show at the Moulin Rouge.

Open s an institution in the Marais where the gay community congregates at night before heading off in all directions. Centrally-located among all other hotspots, it's a no-brainer to start a soirée, or to finish if the scene is good. Young and old, sporty and chic, local and foreign all collide for a happy hour (6-10pm) on pints followed by specials on Champagne until closing that provide the perfect social lubrication for the rest of the evening. A welcoming atmosphere makes this a good meeting point for friends or for a solo drink if you're looking to make new acquaintances. Grab a table on the sidewalk for some casual cruising and people-watching - and don't be afraid to have a coffee or light lunch during the day when Open embraces the 'café' aspect of its name.

We had received a recommendation to come her from a patron of Spuijkers in Amsterdam and he described the fun we'd have to a T. Loved this place. Great ambiance, super helpful and friendly bartenders (especially Paul - I hope I have his name right) and very friendly patrons. Even walking there from our vacation rental in Le Marais was fun - so many people enjoying the warm evening in the beautiful neighborhood. We talked to people from about six or seven different countries (sometimes in their own language! Bears are bears worldwide it seems!) and really enjoyed the patio and the standing area across the street. The bar is small, but we were allowed in after closing hours. Highly recommended for the bear crowd, those looking for a friendly change of scene, people looking for good beer and those looking to meet some cool new people from all over. Wish I was there this weekend!!

We went here with our older teenage daughters, the crowd were very friendly and we had a great time, when we left there were few guys on scooters about and the door men came after us to tell us to be careful and watch our bags with these guys around, we appreciated that. We would Definitely go back. Very friendly gay bar.
