Hemingway did drink at The Ritz bar many a night, and the bar takes its mixology seriously. You pay a lot, and get a lot of value: a sense of history and surprisingly friendly fellow drinkers. Only nine tables and the bartender is a Brit who has ...

Not as upscale and flashy as Lido or Moulin Rouge. Ask for a seat at the bar for 50 euros instead of the 99 euro ticket which gets you a table and some "free" champagne. Nudity. JR

Now, this is more of a pub than anything. Also, most of the people you meet at the James Joyce are English or Scottish. You'll find many Brits who are on vacation enjoying a pint in this newly legendary Paris watering hole.

A revived Paris cabaret show, nearly two hours long, with or without an included meal and champagne. Topless, relatively tasteful, but not for kids or grandma. Floor show of magicians and amusing pickpockets. Same idea as Moulin Rouge but less expensive and less of a spectacle. LG

In a 16th century building reputedly a meeting point for various secret orders, a jazz club was born after WWII, in 1946. During the Revolution, prisoners were tortured and killed here (!). Many luminaries have played here, and the tradition continues in two venues within the 4 walls, one deep ...

Billed as the "highest restaurant in europe", this sits atop the Montparnasse Tower, one of the few high rises in central Paris. Hated for the buildings it displaced, the Tower nevertheless offers a great view of Paris. You can dine here, have just drinks, or pay to go on the ...

Down the hill from Sacre Couer in Montmartre is this very silly and un-sacred fondue joint. They famously serve their wine in baby bottles, no glasses at all. You are at a communal table which you have to climb over if you happen to be seated against the wall. A ...

Wine store morphs into wine bar, morphs into light fare restaurant and voila, an inexpensive, friendly place. You can buy a bottle and pay 3 euros corkage to drink it there. Wow. Why? It's a cheap and unfashionable neighborhood. Many never-exported French growers are represented. It's a neighborhood, Monday-Friday kind ...

Given the name, does getting a 4 euro breakfast (juice, coffee, croissant) here surprise you? And yet you can, not to mention 5 euro champagne by the glass in the evening. It's off the Champs d'Elysees, so the low prices are doubly impressive. LG
