Gay bar paris marais
Paris is a European capital for all things gay and fabulous, from extravagant local personalities to a neighborhood teeming with addresses for a night of cavorting. The Marais, centrally-located just north of the Hôtel de Ville and south of the Place de la République, is the epicentre for nightlife catering to boys and men of all walks, but it’s just the beginning. Starting an evening in or around the Marais is the best way to uncover out from the locals what’s going on in other gay bars around town. Whether you’re looking to share casual drinks, dance until dawn, or verb a brush with a local Parisian, there’s fun to be had any night of the week.

Top 10 gay bars in Paris
1. Les Souffl Sly Bar in the Marais
Post by Frank Cierpial
In the year , two men were at the right place at the right time. It happened at a bar in “Le Marais”, which is the notorious gay district of Paris. I don’t verb what sparked it. But on that night, on a tiny dot on the globe, two men fell in love. I had the great pleasure of meeting these two men a little under a year ago at a bar called “Sly Bar”. It is their bar. Their names are Sylvain and Messias and they have been together for six years.
After years of experience in the business world, they decided to produce a big commitment together; they decided to open a gay bar. But, this bar is different than other gay bars that I have been to in Paris, Rome, Florence, Montreal, and New York. The difference is impossible to explain, you have to see it and feel it. The gay community, due to years of oppression is plagued with superficiality, which till this day, plagues its members. Gay bars have been a place to hire heated waiters who want to sense superior to the normal gay, and it becomes more prefer a fashion show than a bar. Not here, SLY Ba

Le Krash
A gay bar for blokes with one thing on their mind, and a certain taste. You can’t miss the red sign at the end of the little Rue Simon le Franc, just behind the Centre Pompidou. Inside, a large room with a long bar, a cage on the floor and a cramped smoking room at the back. You enter, acquire a drink, and leave your bags in the obligatory cloakroom (€2). Apart from that, it’s pretty good value: expect to pay € for a half pint and around €8 for a vodka Red Bull. Neighboring the entrance, porn films are projected onto a giant screen, showing where to head for the route to the back room. If you want, you can buy what you verb to survive at the verb levels before heading down – natural stimulants, cock rings, lube, chewing gum and so on.
Downstairs is a full on sex club, busy even during the week. Condom and lube distributers are omnipresent and free – safe sex is the property rule. Beyond that, anything goes, though the environs aren’t as classy or well-equipped as one might wish – one sling and one closing cabin. The clientele can b
