Buzzing at just about every hour of the day, Open Café is located at the nerve center of gay life in Le Marais. The crowd is congenial and exceptionally attractive and the staff is among the friendliest of any watering hole in the Parisian gayborhood. While many locals like to meet at the bar before continuing on to other nightspots, gay Americans in Paris have also turned the place into something of a meeting spot as well. Favored by a regular clientele, Open Café is the kind of place you can visit every day, sometimes more than once. Pop in for a coffee before a day of shopping and sightseeing and then later for an early evening cocktail. Before long you'll find yourself making friends with familiar faces and the wait staff remembering exactly what you like to drink and how you like it served. As an added bonus, the café's outdoor tables offer some of the best people watching in the City of Lights. Best of all, Open Café is located in proximity to some of the busiest bars in Le Marais like Café Cox and Mixer, so if you get bored you can just pop across the street or next door for a change of scenery. Beware of weekends though, because the place gets really packed in the late evening.
