Frequently Asked Questions
The highest concentration of popular sports bars is in the Latin Quarter (5th arr.), Saint-Germain-des-Prés (6th arr.), and near Bastille/Oberkampf (11th arr.). The 6th is known for classic rugby pubs like No Scrum No Win, while the 11th has a more modern, energetic vibe at spots like Rush Bar.
Standard prices for a pint (50cl) range from €6 to €10, depending on the beer and location. However, happy hour is key. Most bars offer deals between 5 PM and 9 PM, with prices dropping to €4-€6. You can browse real-time happy hour deals on Seeker Social (Android / iOS) to find the best prices.
Yes, many do. Bars with an international or Anglophone crowd are your best bet for catching Premier League matches. Spots like Teddy S Bar in the 5th arrondissement usually have the games on. It's always a good idea to check their Facebook page or call ahead to confirm they are showing the specific match you want to see.
For regular season games, you can usually just walk in, but arriving 30 minutes early is wise. For massive events like a World Cup final, Champions League final, or a crucial Six Nations rugby match, booking is highly recommended. Otherwise, be prepared to stand, as spots fill up very quickly an hour or more before kickoff.
Absolutely. Many sports bars in the Latin Quarter (5th arr.) are popular with students due to their proximity to universities and affordable prices. Venues like Le Mayflower offer a classic student vibe with sports on screen. These places often double as great student bars in Paris even on non-match days.
It's trickier due to the time difference, but not impossible. Your best bet is to find American-themed bars or larger international pubs that cater to tourists. A place like Rosies Smokehouse Bbq might be willing to show major events like the Super Bowl, but you'll need to check their specific event schedule in advance.
The sports bars in Paris offer a unique blend of international fandom and local neighborhood culture. Forget quiet corners; these venues are about the collective energy of watching a match, whether it's Ligue 1 football, the Six Nations rugby tournament, or a major international event. You'll find everything from classic pubs with wood paneling to more modern bars that simply roll down a giant screen for game time, attracting a crowd of students, expats, and lifelong Parisians.
