Looking for a wild night out? Why not try out a good games bar this weekend? It’s an opportunity to challenge your friends, solo or in a team, and enjoy a unique evening. Here are our favourites:
Le Player One – The benchmark for gaming bars
Well-known to all pop-culture fans, Player One is the temple of retrogaming, arcade terminals and board games. To really immerse yourself in the atmosphere, each room has its own universe: Harry Potter, Star Wars, Pac Man… We love the totally original cocktails and mocktails, in the shape of a steaming cauldron, to make you feel like a real wizard for a moment. A bar you must visit at least once!
📍224 Rue Saint-Denis, 75002 Paris
Le Dernier Bar avant la fin du monde – The temple of board games
Whether you’re a Loup Garou fan, a Uno pro or a Code Name expert, this bar has everything you need (and more) for a great night out. We go there for its gourmet menu and cocktails with geek references, but also for its very, very wide choice of board games. If you’re at a loss, don’t hesitate to ask for advice! Chances are you’ll even discover a few nuggets.

Chez Bouboule – For indoor pétanque
“Do you shoot or point?” At Bouboule’ s, it’s almost like being in the South of France, minus the cicadas. Come and challenge your friends to a game of indoor pétanque. And to cool off, we grab a cold beer at the counter and nibble on some tapas. Ain’t life grand?
