Paris
Nightlife
Barrio
Latino
The latest addition to the bastille party district, is a
better bet for a drink than a meal. the decor is a lush cross
of casbah, old havana, and soho loft that pulls a very mixed
crowd of hipsters. Though it is pricey and serves mediocre
drinks, it can be a fun scene.
