In this area of St. Germain-des-Prés there are pubs, cafés and bars on every street corner it seems. But this place is a bit more selective and you can't even enter without ringing the little doorbell. They screen for drunken students out on having a binge. If you do get in, you're greeted with plush velour booths and paintings of gentlemen having a game of cricket hung on the walls. As you sip your Guinness, the Queen herself watches over you even. You won't find too many tourists or expats here as it's a favorite of mostly French people who either live in the area or stop in after working at one of the many upscale boutiques and professional office buildings around.
EXPERT TIPS BY:

Paris Local Expert
- Pubs: "One of the rare pubs in this drinking neighborhood that closes after 2am. You can keep going here all the way 'til 4 in the morning."
- Best for Pubs Because: An English pub that has all French barmen and mostly French patrons, it's a nice blend of getting that touch of English in Paris.
