When its not Monday or Tuesday, its legit to go for a couple of cold beers in Belleville. As usual, La Folie terrace is packed and you’re not quite ready to drag yourself to Relais. So it’s natural to lead the charge to the coolest bar in the quarter, Culture Rapide.
It has an XXL terrace, away from all the exhaust fumes, nestled in between high facades of graffiti. As it gets later, it does get a little bit chilly on that hill, so head into coloured and popular bar. Pints of stella set you back a mere €4.5 and it's a mixed planche for €10. Neither are memorable but who cares, this bar has a cool unpretentious vibe. It's the kind of spot which produces the next generation of poets. In short, we recommended to get hooked on this bar, and quickly.
