15 Best Nightclubs near the Champs Élysées

Originally published by Natalie on November 2019 and updated by Vanessa on June 2023.

There is a lot to do on the Champs Élysées in Paris. No surprise that clubbing is one of them, and the luxury nightlife rules the strip when the sun goes down.

After a day of shopping amongst 300,000 tourists on this prestigious avenue, no one would blame you if you were in need of a strong drink to take the edge off. I’ve listed a few of the best spots near the strip for just that.

1. Whisper Club Paris near the Champs Élysées

Let’s start with the more risqué of spots that the Champs Élysées has to offer. Whisper Club is a nightclub/strip club hybrid space. It’s a lot of fun and incredibly classy; nothing like the strip clubs over in Pigalle, for example.

Entrance will cost you €30, this includes your first drink absolutely free.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Opening Hours: Monday to Sunday — 10pm to 5am

ADDRESS: Champs-elysees, 13-15 Rue de Berri, 75008 Paris, France

Metro STATION: George V

2. Buddha-Bar near the Champs Élysées

The Buddha-Bar is technically a restaurant, but it transforms into a club lounge as the evenings progress.

Anything goes in the space, so long as you’re not disturbing anyone who is still dining at a table. The music is great, drinks are exceptional and the crowd is mostly mature in age.

Reservations are a must if you would like to start here from early evening; those who arrive later on will be able to go straight to the bar.

ADDRESS: 8-12 Rue Boissy d’Anglas, 75008 Paris, France

Metro STATION: Concorde

3. Le Hobo near the Champs Élysées

If you’re in the mood for a dance, then le Hobo is the spot.

Hip hop and reggaeton lovers will find le Hobo to be like a second home. Entrance is usually free to all who arrive before 1am, though admittedly the bouncers seem to have a specific customer in mind when choosing who gets in and who stays out.

Once inside you’ll find a cozy disco lounge with booths, multiple bars and shisha available for hire.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Opening Hours: Monday to Sunday — 6pm to 5:30am

ADDRESS: 67 Rue Pierre Charron, 75008 Paris, France

Metro STATION: George V

4. Dogstar Club near the Champs Élysées

The Dogstar Club is probably the most laid back of all the clubs on the Champs Élysées. It’s the one spot you can still count on to be allowed into even if your attire is less than formal.

Set up like a dive bar, Dogstar offers great drinks and shisha smoking throughout the space. This is one of the most affordable spots to both eat and drink on the Champs Élysées.

Opening Hours: Monday to Sunday — 11am to 4am

ADDRESS: 8 Boulevard de la Madeleine, 75009 Paris, France

Metro STATION: Madeleine

5. Triumph Temple Discothèque near the Champs Élysées

At the end of the strip we have Triumph Temple Discothèque. Unlike Dogstar, this is one of the less affordable places to party in this neighborhood — prepare to splurge!

The name would suggest a disco hall, but the music is usually always American hip hop. You’ll want to consider table service because Triumph Temple Discothèque gets incredibly full — they are open until 7am!

Opening Hours: Friday to Saturday — 11:30pm to 7am

ADDRESS: 32 Rue de Tilsitt, 75017 Paris, France

Metro STATION: Charles de Gaulle–Étoile

6. Le Bar near the Champs Élysées

Le Bar will take you back to the haute Paris of the 1920s. It’s a chic drinking lounge with an ornate interior worthy of its proximity to the Champs Élysées. In fact, it’s actually situated inside of the Hôtel Plazza Athénée, which is the most beautiful luxury hotel in Paris in my personal opinion.

Take a stroll through the hotel grounds before you settle in at le Bar for the night.

7. Le Bar Kléber near the Champs Élysées

Le Bar Kléber has channeled its inner Versailles when it comes to decor. This is an entertainment lounge fit for a queen — opulence, elegance and sophistication.

Here you’ll kick back sipping cocktails and enjoying the nightly entertainment. The oldest of the old French money hang out here; one of the few nightlife spots near the Champs Élysées that haven’t become a complete tourist trap.

8. Le Marta Paris near the Champs Élysées

Le Marta is a nightclub for people who want to dress for their evening out on the Champs Élysées, but don’t want to be treated like their money is the most important part of their presence.

The space is beautiful, but the drinks remain reasonably priced. You also have the option of eating, or you can just drink. I find the food prices to be unreasonable and I would recommend eating elsewhere on the strip and simply coming to le Marta for drinks and music later on.

9. Le Madam near the Champs Élysées

Le Madam is where we come to dance the night away. You will have to eat and drink elsewhere in the town before coming through anytime after 11pm. The party goes on until 5am, three nights a week.

Dress well, be polite, and you won’t have any trouble getting in at the door. Manners go a long way in Paris; keep this in mind regardless of where you are in your trip.

10. L’Arc Paris near the Champs Élysées

There are a few things you need to know about L’Arc Paris. Firstly, if you love clubbing this might be one of your best nights out in the city… if you can get in.

The door at L’Arc Paris is notorious for being incredibly picky. Dress code, demeanor and level of intoxication are all taken into consideration before anyone is allowed in. Once inside, you’ll find it to be a bit of a hunting ground for creepy men looking to spend obnoxious amounts of money on women.

Ignore them. Buy your own drink, have a dance and enjoy it!

Its theme nights are extremely popular. Before all the drinks and fun, get some food at Le Vogue, the club’s restaurant, which is cozy and sophisticated, serving French cuisine.

Le Duplex may be hired for private events, and for something a little different. The three areas, the restaurant, dance club, and bowling alley, can be hired together or separately and can accommodate closed groups of 100 to 2 000 persons.

Showcase is a one-of-a-kind nightclub located on the Seine’s bank beneath the historic Pont Alexandre III. It is a one-of-a-kind venue because it was originally designed to be a hangar boat before being converted into a club.

The concept for this nightclub name came from the Showcase Club, which is well renowned for showcasing future superstar bands. This is the place to go if you want to discover new bands or DJs!

This nightclub frequently showcases some of Paris’ most popular DJs after the band has played a few sets. Music is always fresh and vibrant. Showcase is a really vast club, which is a significant plus when you have a large crowd that wants to party and dance. There is always a place to dance in this club.

The Yoyo is a nightlife and events venue located in the center of the Palais de Tokyo, where the former auditoriums of the iconic French Cinémathèque previously stood. It is operated by Paris Icons.

The Yoyo is torn between its extremely vibrant festive program (sound and visual experimentation, events, dance, electronic music) and its more corporate role of hosting a wide range of private functions (cocktail receptions, conferences, film screenings, private parties, fashion shows, conventions, product launches, plenary sessions, and much more). The minimalist concrete backdrop of the Yoyo makes it the ideal spot for Parisians to come and dance the night away.

Opening Hours: thur-sat; 11 pm-5 am

ADDRESS: Palais de Tokyo, 13 Av. du Président Wilson, 75016 Paris, France

14. La Mano Paris near the Champs Élysées

La Mano, located in the 9th arrondissement has become a hotspot for Parisian buzz. If you enjoy a laid-back South American ambiance while sipping tequila near the Grands Boulevards in gay Paris, this is the spot for you.

The specialty cocktails at this newer nightclub by Paris dance club impresario Lionel Bensemoun fill with that Mexican booze of choice, tequila, and its counterpart, mezcal.

Because this is a former Mexican café, you may term the little plates here ‘tapas,’ which provide a good chow-down opportunity after you’ve been dancing for several hours to the Latin-infused futuristic electro-pop DJ sets.

DJs and live musicians continue the Latin-American-futuristic combination, with music ranging from salsa to new disco. Prices remain Parisian, with cocktails costing roughly €10.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Opening Hours: wed-sat; 11:45 pm-6 am

ADDRESS: 10 Rue Papillon, 75009 Paris, France

15. Rex Club near the Champs Élysées

The Rex Club (located beneath the iconic cinema the Grand Rex) was known for disco in the 1970s and rock in the 1980s before becoming one of Paris’ top clubs for techno and electronic music. Some of the biggest DJs, both nationally and internationally, play at this club, which is conveniently located on the Grands Boulevards.

Between Wednesdays and Saturdays, this club boasts a fantastic weekly schedule with incredible sets of techno and electronic music. The DJ performances are simply excellent, and they make you forget about everything around you and just want to sway along to the music all night.

Metro STATION: Bonne Nouvelle

Don’t forget that exploring the Champs Élysées by day is as necessary as it is by night! This neighborhood is distinctly Parisian, and a must for anyone interested in the city’s modernization. Book a slot for a guided walking tour if you’d like to see it on foot.

A Night in Paris

Paris is truly gorgeous, but when the sun goes down and night falls, the city of love becomes even more charming, with all of its iconic landmarks sparkling. And just because it’s nighttime doesn’t mean Paris is sleeping!

The nightlife in Paris is thriving so much that a night Paris ticket was recently introduced to make exploring easier for people who wish to experience the city of lights at night. The pass, which is available in three different categories (silver, gold, and platinum), caters to activities such as taking a Seine River Cruise, nightclubbing, watching a Cabaret show, and hopping on the double-decker hop-on hop-off bus, so consider taking one.

On the contrary, there are so many things to do in Paris at night that you won’t be able to decide whether to visit them during the day or at night. By now, you’d probably be asking yourself if it’s safe to walk in Paris at night and the answer is yes! Paris is a safe city in general.

But, like any other big metropolis in the world, most thugs lose their shame at night and start taking advantage of the darkness. Always be on the lookout for street theft or you may be picked up! If you plan to stay out late or take a guided tour, go out with a group of pals.

See you in Paris!
