Unpretentious drinking
Aux Folies
Why locals love it
No matter what day it is, take a walk down rue de Belleville as the sun begins to set and you'll notice one thing immediately – Aux Folies is <i>always</i> busy. Situated next to an alley with ever-changing street art, this bar’s terrace is consistently packed with an interesting mix of artists and locals there to have a good time.
Why you should visit it
Aux Folies has an incredible atmosphere that is impossible to manufacture. From the dim red lights of the heat lamps on the terrace to the scuffed and battered interiors, this bar oozes character. Pints are €4 all night long and wines are also affordably priced. Pull up a seat, listen to the happy chatter all around you and try out your French!
Special tip
It’s packed on weekends. They often play great tracks from the 80s. You’ll never have to worry about whether your shoes are good enough!
