Pub Saint-Germain can host an after-work evening, a team dinner, a press breakfast, a seminar or a full private party, across 400 sq m spread over four floors. Each space can be booked on its own, and the whole pub can be taken over. It sits at 17 rue de l'Ancienne Comédie in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, in the middle of Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
Seminars and company events
The pub lists seminars, conferences, video conferences, company parties, team building, business meals, group lunches and dinners and press breakfasts among the events it handles. Every space has screens and a sound system, and the venue adds microphones, projectors and Wi-Fi. Security staff, hosts and entertainment can be booked on request, as can a DJ or live musicians with a dance floor. With more than ten screens, the pub also shows live sport, from football and rugby to Formula 1 and the NFL, which suits a company group that wants to watch a match together. Group meals start at 30 people, and bookings for more than 12 guests or a private hire go through the events team.
Weddings and receptions
Private events include birthdays, cocktail parties, concerts, bachelor and bachelorette parties and wedding parties. The format is a bar or cocktail reception rather than a ceremony venue, and the team can set up a buffet, a seated dinner or a cocktail dinner.
Rooms and capacities
The pub is split into eight areas: the Main Bar, the Cocktail Bar, the Parrot Club, the Wine Bar, the Green Room, the Salon, the Veranda and the Terrace. The Green Room fills a whole floor and can be hired alone. The Main Bar keeps the setting of a British pub, with direct access to the counter and a DJ at weekends. The Wine Bar, also called the Parrot Club, is a low-lit room that opens onto the terrace in the Cour du Commerce Saint-André and onto a large room with an industrial décor. The Cocktail Bar on the first floor has an open kitchen for tapas cooked in front of guests and room for long tables. The site does not give a capacity for each space or for the whole pub.
Catering
A chef and a pastry chef run the kitchen, which serves tapas and sharing boards from noon to midnight every day. For events the team quotes a buffet, a seated dinner or a cocktail dinner. Wine tastings of three to five bottles, lasting one to one and a half hours, are held in French or English for up to 12 people in the Wine Bar and up to 30 in the Cocktail Bar, with or without food pairings and with professional glasses.
Getting there
The nearest metro stations are Odéon, Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Mabillon. The pub has a lift, a cloakroom, a smoking room and step-free access, and it is open seven days a week from noon until between 2:00 and 5:30 depending on the day.
