Tucked away in the vibrant 20á” arrondissement, La Commune is a stylish Belleville gem helmed by the innovators behind Le Syndicat. With a jungle-like terrace, hammered concrete walls, plush armchairs, and a sleek green marble bar, the atmosphere hits just the right mix of warm and edgy. What truly sets it apart? Big-punch-style bowlsâmade to shareâfilled with cocktails inspired by global ingredients and Franceâs best spirits, from cognac and Armagnac to eau-de-vie and rhum agricole. Their recipes fall into five regions: India, Africa, the Antilles, "Five Oceans," and the local neighborhood, offering a spirited taste adventure in each sip. Time Out captures the vibe just right: âa clandestine shopfront and a hip-hop soundtrack... jungle-like terrace... goodbye to the Paris drizzle and aloha liquid sun.â Punch bowls go for around âŹ11 per person, and sharing one is the true La Commune experience. Objective menus (Fooding) reflect vibrant offerings like the âPlanteurâ punch, laced with house-made falernum, lemon, mint, cucumber, sparkling water, egg white, and Calvados; and the unexpected âBarattage de la mer de laitâ with milk, green tea, clove, absinthe, and French whiskey for âŹ10ââŹ13. Despite its chic setup, La Commune remains relaxed and welcoming. Itâs open evenings daily, typically from 16:00 or 18:00 until around 02:00, with a lively crowd and no frillsâjust good drinks and laid-back energy.
