the Beaver, Canadian bar and grill

Anybody been there? out of 6 days in Paris I found myself going back 4 times, pretty neat place and live music almost every night, oh it%26#39;s near l%26#39;Ilot Vache on rue des Deux Ponts on l%26#39;Ile St-Louis

Not yet, but as I am going to |Paris next tuesday and has planned to go to St Louis, I will definitely try it, tell us more. What are the opening times?

cheers

They%26#39;re open from 16:00 %26#39;till late(not sure what time exactly) I had my first of on tap cider(with ice no less, thanks to some English patrons) the meals are mostly canadian bar type but I must admit I had the best hamburger of my life there(the french don%26#39;t have a clue how to eat hamburger, using forks and knives!!!!!). the staff is mostly either english canadian or english and very cool and friendly. Hope you have a good time there.

I had heard of a couple of %26quot;Canadian%26quot; bars in Paris but I hadn%26#39;t heard of this one so will have to check out when I get there in september. I%26#39;ll try the hamburger you speak so highly of with my labatts blue. :-)

It%26#39;s the sister bar of The Moosehead which many here already know about.

I think they offer the same sports and pretty much the same menu.

Just a little curiosity...Why do you go to a Canadian Bar while you are in Paris?? After 6 days you are already home-sick?? Did you try anything more french??

I%26#39;m a fan of English speaking bars in Paris too. Rather then isolating you from Paris I think they can be a nice introduction.

It%26#39;s a good opportunity to meet French people looking to improve on their English and to compare notes with other tourists. Last year I meet an English guy, at an Irish Pub, who was working in Paris and we really hit it off; he showed me around his neighborhood, we went out for dinner (expensive and French, of course) and I had a blast. At another English Pub an artist wanted to sketch my portrait: I ended up buying him drinks all night in exchange for a French lesson and some good travel advice. That conversation was priceless! I don%26#39;t hang around these bars all the time - but when I do I find myself more involved with a locals and not less.

I walked by it last time there, it looked dead so I didn%26#39;t go in. Maybe it was too early. If you%26#39;re not particularly fluent in French there are times when it%26#39;s nice to know you can go into a place and converse in English.

I%26#39;ve only been to The Moosehead in St. Germain. That%26#39;s their first location. But I had lunch only-burgers were allright. My friend always frequent The Moose at nights and loves it. Lots of English speaking young people and Tuesdays is ladies night if that matters.
