How to choose
- Dancing and historic atmosphere: the Caveau de la Huchette, in a Latin Quarter cellar with a dance floor.
- Seated concert and international line-up: the Duc des Lombards.
- Open evening and discovery: the Sunset-Sunside, with two rooms of different moods (acoustic at the Sunside, more intimate at the Sunset).
Practical tips
Book weekend evenings, especially for headliners. Arrive a little before the concert starts to get a good seat. No strict dress code is published in the sources consulted: smart casual is usually fine. Concerts end late, so check your last metro or plan a taxi.
Completing the evening
For another kind of night out, compare our guide to Paris cabarets, or see the concert halls of Paris, which also programme jazz.
