Best Happy Hours
Velvet Bar
43 Rue Saint-Honoré, 75001 Paris
9.1/10 : France Hotel Guide’s expert rating
During happy hour at Velvet Bar, you’ll have your order doubled: cocktails, beer, or wine, and at lower prices. Having a double dose of your favorite drink is awesome!
An €8 pint of beer is €4 during happy hour, and a double cocktail that is usually €20 is the same price as a simple cocktail.
There is something for everyone to drink, and the bar’s urban style just makes us feel good. There are a number of creative and innovative cocktails available, but if you want to remain classic, that’s no problem either.
Happy hour is from 6pm to 11pm from Tuesday to Thursday and from 6pm to 9pm during the weekend. And you don’t have to leave when happy hour ends; you can stay up all night dancing to hip-hop music from yesterday and today.
In the heart of the Halles district, Velvet Bar cheerfully invites you to gather with your friends in a friendly atmosphere. You can even enjoy one of the themed evenings with a DJ!
