Paris
Deep leather couches and 1930s Shanghai decor make this a wonderfully plush place for cocktails (some Asian themed) followed by a concert (mainly funk, pop and rock) in the basement. Gigs are free (with the expectation that you'll buy a drink) and kick off any time between 8.30pm and 9.30pm.
Happy hour is from 5pm to 8pm.
