La Bellevilloise is one of the important night life spots in Paris. There are lots of places where you can “live” culture during the day in the city, however the night palette of this kind is not so easy to find.
In today’s version Bellevilloise was opened in 2005 on the spot where there used to be (in 1877) an after Parisian-Commune worker’s cooperative. In those days it was dedicated to education and animation of the workers living in the area.
Today, the place took the same name and the motto is “dedication to light and creation”. Although nowadays you will meet mainly “bobo”(bourgeois boheme) public, but not exclusively.
There are different things going on even at the same time, as it is a music club, an exposition place, a bar and a restaurant with the stage (separated in 4 different rooms). From exhibitions, rock or world music concerts, to dj-ing, interactive workshops, film festivals to even bio markets there is always something interesting to participate in.
Once you are in rue Boyer you surely won’t miss a good concert, either in the nearby club la Maroquinerie (23, rue Boyer) or in La Bellevilloise. The pleasant choice is yours.

While the Belleviloise is an interesting place and the rue Boyer is very cool, the Thai resto L’Eschappee is not bad for Parisian Thai cuisine (would love if you could find some authentique Asian restos in Paris … not Le Cambodge either!) … my husband and i went to this place a few weeks ago, the service was too cool for school and it took them 30 minutes to give us our second order or drinks by which time we decided to leave and our waiter ran down to give us and make us drink our drinks in one large gulp and pay before leaving! we were speechless with shock. needless to say we did not oblige and left with a bad taste in our mouths. le cade des sports on the corner is fun. and the cave des vins on rue de menilmontant nearby is topsss. ménilmontant is definitely the coolest place to be in paris. nearby l’hermitage is a fantastic hidden street with a tiny bar. village atmosphere. le petanque near the church (don’t list this!) is our favourite local bar in paris!
