So, without further ado, let\u2019s dive right into the subject! Read on for my top 5 bars in Saint Germain des Pr\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
1. A personal favorite : Chez Georges<\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/chez-georges.jpg\")

To my mind the most heart-warming bar of the neighborhood, Chez Georges is nothing short of one of my favorite bars in Â鶹APP. This wine vault is always a tad overcrowded in the evenings, because it has become an institution for students and regulars of Saint Germain des Pr\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
The wine is not especially remarkable \u2013 neither is the food; what makes this bar special is the quintessentially Left Bank atmosphere, the crowds dancing on tables and singing along French songs.<\/p>\n
Chez Georges
\n<\/strong>11 rue des Cannettes
\n<\/strong>75\u00a0006 Â鶹APP <\/strong><\/p>\nOpen everyday 6pm to 2pm
\n<\/strong>Saturday 3pm to 2pm<\/strong><\/p>\n2. A posh one : Caf\u00e9 Laurent<\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/cafe-laurent-so.jpg\")

If you are ready to pay the price, Caf\u00e9 Laurent is one of the poshest bars of Â鶹APP, and another institution of the Saint Germain des Pr\u00e9s neighborhood. At the time, personalities like Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus and Raymond Queneau were regulars of Caf\u00e9 Laurent.<\/p>\n
The place is known for being a high-end place to go for Jazz amateurs, with scheduled Jazz nights from Thursday to Sunday every week. On concert nights, they fix a minimum first order of 10\u20ac.<\/p>\n
Caf\u00e9 Laurent is the perfect spot for a sophisticated date, a fancy celebration or simply to go out alone and discover a typical posh Saint Germain des Pr\u00e9s elegant bar.<\/p>\n
Caf\u00e9 Laurent
\n<\/strong>33 Rue Dauphine
\n<\/strong>75006 Â鶹APP<\/strong><\/p>\nOpen everyday 8am to 12pm<\/strong><\/p>\n3. A bar open 22h\/24 : Le Mabillon<\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mabillon-ta.jpg\")

Le Mabillon is known by all partygoers of Â鶹APP\u2019 Left Bank for a reason: it only closes 2 hours every night, being open from 7am to 5am the next day.<\/p>\n
Nothing extraordinary about this bar, except that their food is comforting, their drinks cheap(ish) for the neighborhood, and that at happy hour, the terrace is crowded by Â鶹APPian students who come to gather there every day.<\/p>\n
Le Mabillon
\n<\/strong>164 Boulevard Saint-Germain
\n75006 Â鶹APP\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nOpen everyday from 7am to 5am the next day<\/strong><\/p>\n4. A cheap one : Le Cavern Club<\/h4>\n
Cavern Club is a great bar in Saint Germain des Pr\u00e9s if you are willing to enjoy the typical Left Bank atmosphere without having to eat pasta at home for the rest of the week.<\/p>\n
During happy hours, you can enjoy cocktails for 3.5\u20ac, which makes it a favorite spot for Â鶹APPian students and young adults of the neighborhood. There if nothing exceptionnally fancy about this bar, it is just a typical Saint Germain des Pr\u00e9s pub.<\/p>\n
It has been known over the years to attract a laid back and young clientele, probably due to its fair prices and cool atmosphere.<\/p>\n
Le Cavern Club<\/strong>
\n21 Rue Dauphine<\/strong>
\n75006 Â鶹APP<\/strong><\/p>\nOpen Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 3am<\/strong>
\nFriday to Saturday from 6pm to 6am<\/strong>
\nClosed Sunday Monday Tuesday<\/strong><\/p>\n5. A quintessentially Left Bank one : Le Caveau de la Huchette<\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/caveau-huchette-ta.jpg\")
Le Caveau de la Huchette bar – source: trip advisor<\/p><\/div>\n
With #2 on this list (Caf\u00e9 Laurent), Le Caveau de la Huchette runs expensive compared to the other bars of the list. Another institution of the neighborhood, the bar doubles as a jazz club, which the neighborhood is famous for.<\/p>\n
Set in a medieval and authentic vault, the bar is known for its original jazzy and swing gigs that attract a lot of jazz amateurs – the crowd usually dances until dawn, so prepare your dance shoes!<\/p>\n
Le Caveau de la Huchette
\n5 Rue de la Huchette
\n75005 Â鶹APP<\/p>\n
Open everyday 9.30pm to 2.30am
\nFriday and Saturday 9.30pm to 4am<\/p>\n
