You absoloutely cannot give this friendly neighbourhood and well stocked « Bottle Shoppe » bar a miss whilst on your Parisian foray. During the day, children are most defintiely welcome and after dusk, Djs thrash out on the decks with the heady sounds of yesteryear. The Brunchs and lunchs should carry a health warning they’re so copious (think « Favourite aunt’s comfort food » after a huge hang over) and they also happen to be very reasonably priced. Although the Bottle shoppe attracts the local hipsters in the music and entertainment industry, it remains remarkably discreet as a hideout. Add boundless Cheap blondes, Margaritas and Modernistas and you might not want to leave. Oh, the female clientele are pretty cool too.
