Barbès

Named after a neighborhood in North Paris with a thriving music and discount shopping scene, this bar and live music space was opened by two French imports looking to create a go-to cultural center for all sorts of local artsy events. On any given night, you may be privy to eclectic music being spun by a DJ, a live band hailing from North Africa, book readings or movie screenings. Either way, it's a great place to drink draft beer, single-malt scotch or a range of tequilas while meeting neighbors and getting your culture on.
