A lesbian bar in the heart of the Marais
Located at 12 Rue du Plâtre, in Paris’s 4th arrondissement, Elles Bar opened in 2021. It is situated on the same street where Le Village, the Marais’s first gay bar, was founded in 1978.
The venue describes itself as a ‘festive and welcoming’ lesbian bar. In its responses to Google reviews, the bar makes it clear that it is a lesbian bar, not a queer bar open to everyone; some reviews mention that people were turned away. If you’re not coming with other women, check before you go. According to published reviews, the venue has more of the feel of a pub or a neighbourhood bistro.
