Le Katre

Le Katre is a café-bar at 4 rue André Antoine, in the Montmartre district of Paris 18e, that can host private or professional events for up to about 80 people. The bar has several areas that can be privatized, a hidden garden with a dance floor, and sound equipment, microphones and WiFi on request. Organisers use it for a professional cocktail, a farewell drink, a drink between colleagues or an evening with family and friends.

Seminars and company events The official site describes the bar as suited to private or professional events. The formats named for companies are a professional cocktail, a farewell party and a drink between colleagues, for which a few tables can be reserved. This is a place for networking and celebrations, not for a seminar day: the site lists no meeting room, screen or projector. Sound equipment, microphones, a dance floor and WiFi are available for any occasion, so a short speech or a team evening is easy to set up. The bar is open every day from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m., which fits an after-work format.

Weddings and receptions Weddings are not offered. The site proposes the hidden garden with its dance floor for a lively evening among family and friends, and the bar can host a birthday or a reunion. Entertainment includes the choice of music, a dartboard and karaoke, so the evening can be set up as a party rather than a dinner.

Rooms and capacities The bar can welcome up to around 80 people in total, and the site says it has several areas that can be privatized. Two are described: the bar room, where a few tables can be reserved for a cocktail, and the hidden garden with its dance floor. The site does not give a separate capacity for each area, so ask the team how the 80 guests are shared out for your format.

Catering The bartender prepares house cocktails to go with tapas or boards of cheese and charcuterie. Beer is served by the pint. The bar also runs a daily happy hour from opening until 9 p.m. The site does not describe a seated menu, so a plated dinner should be discussed with the team.

History and setting The bar sits on the warm, popular rue André Antoine, in the heart of the Butte Montmartre area. The decor is described as natural and fresh, and the atmosphere as homely.

Getting there The address is 4 rue André Antoine, 75018 Paris. Metro lines 2 and 12 stop at Pigalle, a short walk away according to the official site. The venue is open every day, which leaves room to choose the date.
