Fitzroy, a dance bar in Paris near Bastille, can be hired for company parties, afterworks and private celebrations for up to 340 guests. The venue covers 250 m² across two floors at 49 rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, in the 11th arrondissement. Groups of 2 to 30 people book directly with the bar. Larger groups go through the events team, which sends a tailored quote.
Seminars and company events
Fitzroy presents itself as a place for professional and personal events alike, and its team takes care of the organization. This is a party format rather than a conference setting. It suits team celebrations, end-of-year parties, afterworks, brand evenings and client receptions that need a lively room.
The equipment list on the official site is built for that. It includes a disco ball, a dance floor, DJ sets, a video projector, a giant screen, a customizable photo booth, microphones, a sound system and a music stage. Games add a team element: pétanque courts, table football and darts. The venue also lists a hostess, a cloakroom and a security agent among its services.
Rooms and capacities
Three configurations are offered. The Beer Garden is on the first floor, decorated in the spirit of a guinguette, and holds up to 120 guests. The Stage Space is on the ground floor and holds up to 200 guests, with a platform, a dance floor and a photo booth. It can be hired in addition to the first floor. A full privatization opens the whole venue to up to 340 guests, including the terrace, the bars, the dance floor, the music stage, the pétanque courts and the darts.
Comfort features include air conditioning and accessible toilets. The space can be personalized for your event.
Catering
The kitchen serves comfort food and home-made dishes, ordered and shared through the evening. The menu includes a wide choice of gluten-free dishes. Drinks come from a long list of craft beers and cocktails prepared by mixologists. The site does not publish event menus, so ask the team what a group formula includes.
History and setting
The bar takes its name and mood from Fitzroy, a lively district of Melbourne, and belongs to the Coolangatta Group. It is open to the public with a program of blind tests, pétanque tournaments, jam sessions and drag bingo, so check your date against that calendar when you plan a private evening. Sports matches are also shown on several screens, one of them very large.
Getting there
The bar is on rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, a short walk from place de la Bastille, where metro lines 1, 5 and 8 meet. The events team answers requests from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a quote within 48 hours.
