Paris, Paris
Gay bar in Les Halles since 1990 with go-go dancers and karaoke nights
A long-running gay bar and club in Châtelet, a short walk from Le Marais, open since 1990 and easy to spot by its bright yellow facade on Rue de la Ferronnerie. Banana Café built its name on go-go dancer shows and has kept that cabaret-meets-club energy going for three decades, with a bar on the upper floor and a dance floor in the basement. Expect themed nights, karaoke, and DJs, plus a long daily happy hour that's part of the draw. The crowd is mixed and high-energy, heavy on tourists alongside regulars, and the room leans flamboyant and unbothered rather than cool and exclusive. It's less a neighborhood local than a destination night out, the kind of place to land mid-evening when you want music, performers, and a bit of theater rather than a quiet drink. A reliable anchor for a first night in gay Paris.
