Le 9b

Formerly Les 9 billiards, Le 9b is a haunt of fashionable young things au fait with Paris’s eclectic alternative music scene. They’re drawn by the bar’s programme of electro, hip-hop, funk and rock, the DJ booth in the basement, terrace with tables decorated with old vinyl, well-priced food and drink and buzzy atmosphere. For quality sounds and joie de vivre, this is a good bet overall.
