Khayma rooftop bar is located on the roof of the Generator Youth Hostel in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. To access it, you must enter the youth hostel and take an elevator to the terrace on the ninth floor. This bar is very cosmopolitan. There are Parisians but also people from all over the world who stay at the youth hostel.
From there you get a magnificent view of the “Basilique du Sacré Coeur”, especially at sunset. The drinks are at very reasonable prices for a rooftop bar with such a beautiful view! Cocktails are at 8-10€, wine bottles start at 20€, beers at 5€. The terrace is quite spacious and the decoration is cosy. There are also suspended chairs in which it is very pleasant to sit. All around, it's a nice place to have a drink in the late afternoon because, unfortunately, the rooftop closes surprisingly early.
I often come with a friend after work but I think I could also come alone because everyone talks to each other and it's easy to meet people! The only disadvantage: the service at the bar can be long sometimes!
