Café Oz Denfert can be privatized for business and private events of up to 750 guests in a standing cocktail format. It is an Australian pub and dancing bar on Place Denfert-Rochereau, in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, with three bars, a south-facing terrace and a veranda that can be hired on its own. It is part of the Café Oz group, which runs several bars in Paris and other French cities.
Seminars and company events
The group's business events page lists study days, afterworks, cocktail lunches and dinners, incentives and team-building events at this bar. The venue page also mentions daytime conferences, seminars, meetings and company events, in a setting that differs from a conventional meeting room. In the evening, the same space serves company afterworks, birthdays and private parties. Sound, video and lighting equipment is described as modern, which helps for presentations and shows. Ask the events team for the projection set-up before planning a plenary session, and about the layout of the veranda for a seated format.
The group offers a downloadable brochure for each venue, which is the quickest way to see the floor plan before a site visit.
Rooms and capacities
The site gives three bars named Main, Anzac and Surf. The terrace covers 300 square meters, faces south, is bordered by greenery and is covered and heated in winter. The veranda can be privatized in full. With the whole venue hired, the stated capacity is 750 guests for a cocktail. Individual capacities for the veranda and the terrace are not published, so ask for a figure for your format. The venue page also mentions two large terraces.
Catering
The bar serves cocktails, Australian and New Zealand beers and a snacking menu, and offers cocktail lunches and dinners for events. Group meals are also mentioned on the business events page. The team builds the formula around the event, so give the headcount and format when you ask for a quote. Sport broadcasts, DJ sets and club nights are part of the usual programme.
History and setting
The site describes the bar as a lively Australian pub with large screens, open on Sundays like the rest of the week. The setting is a main square of the 14th arrondissement, with a green terrace that is unusual for a Paris bar.
Getting there
Café Oz Denfert is next to Denfert-Rochereau metro and RER B station, at 3 place Denfert-Rochereau. The business events page offers a downloadable brochure for the venue, and a privatization request form is available on the site.
