The Labo is the place to grab a drink with friends, but there’s more to it! With its themed nights, games and DJ sets, this LGBT bar is a true party hotspot in the heart of Paris.

The daily grind of the commute-work-sleep routine isn’t for you. After work, you want to socialise, cut loose, reconnect with friends, or meet new people... And you’re right! So head to central Paris for a festive evening at a gay bar-club in the capital.

Situated between the Centre Pompidou and the Halles district, the bar The Labo turns every night of the week into an event, thanks to a varied program. This LGBT HQ located just steps from Châtelet is a must on the Paris queer scene for a festive night out. The Labo offers throughout the week activities and happenings that can be surprising at times! Karaoké, DJ set, drag shows or themed parties, this bar gladly welcomes those who love to party.

On the drinks list, The Labo offers a selection of wines and beers, classic sodas and soft drinks, and several well-known cocktails, such as mojitos, ti-punch, cosmopolitan, and frozen margarita... A handful of mocktails are also on the menu for more non-alcoholic options. To accompany your glass, choose from surprisingly bold snacks, like shredded duck, chicken terrine with preserved lemon, or eggplant terrine.

The Labo features a terrace where you can soak up the neighbourhood’s evening buzz, very lively after dark. A club section lets you dance until the early hours to pop and rock tunes.

If you love dancing, partying and soaking up LGBT culture in Paris, The Labo is a must-visit bar-club in the Halles district.
