Badaboum offers four distinct spaces for private events in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, for groups of 40 up to 350 guests. The venue describes itself as a polymorphous venue: a cocktail bar on the ground floor, a mini club upstairs, a discreet lounge called the Bureau and a main club that doubles as a concert hall. It stands on rue des Taillandiers, between Bastille, Ledru-Rollin and Voltaire.
Seminars and company events
The venue is built for evenings rather than daytime seminars. The Club, with its technical control room and its own staff, suits a product launch, a corporate party or a concert. The cocktail bar suits an afterwork or a cocktail reception for teams of 40 to 90. The Bureau, a muted lounge for 40, is presented for meetings that prefer discretion. Each space can be reserved on its own, and the cocktail bar can be hired every day of the week.
Weddings and receptions
The site lists birthdays and parties among the events the spaces can host, and does not offer a wedding package. A reception with dancing fits the mini club or the cocktail bar. For a larger celebration, the Club accepts 350 guests with a full stage set-up. Anyone planning a ceremony or a seated wedding dinner should confirm the layout options when sending a request.
Rooms and capacities
The cocktail bar takes 40 to 90 guests. It has a neo-bistro look and large windows on rue des Taillandiers, which makes it bright. The organizer chooses the playlist and the formula, either an open bar or drinks ordered from the menu. The mini club, upstairs, takes 40 to 80 guests and has a human-scale dancefloor, a booth and a sound system. Funk, disco, pop or hip-hop can be played by the client's DJ or by one of the resident DJs. The Bureau takes 40 guests, with soft lighting and a small cocktail list. The Club takes 350 guests, with a sound system designed by Christian L and a light show created by AC3 Studios.
Catering
Food service is not detailed on the privatization page. The cocktail bar mentions cocktail dinners and an open bar or à la carte drinks, and the Bureau serves cocktails. Organizers who need a seated meal or specific catering should ask in the first request, together with the budget and the format of the evening.
History and setting
Badaboum describes itself as a polymorphous venue, with concerts, club nights and private hires under one roof. The rooms keep different identities: bright and neo-bistro on the street level, intimate upstairs, deliberately hidden for the Bureau and technical for the Club. This range lets a company use more than one space in the same evening, for example a reception at the bar followed by a party in the Club.
Getting there
The venue is at 2 rue des Taillandiers, 75011 Paris. The nearest métro stations are Bastille, Ledru-Rollin and Voltaire, all within a few minutes on foot. Bastille is served by several lines, and Gare de Lyon is a short ride away for guests arriving by train.
