The Supersonic rents out three spaces for private events: a concert club with a mezzanine for up to 300 guests, a 30-guest backstage lounge, and a former record shop for up to 180 guests. All are soundproofed and equipped for live music. The two venues stand a few meters apart on Rue Biscornet, in the Bastille district of Paris, 12th arrondissement.
Seminars and company events
The official site offers each space for private hire and names a team member in charge of events, but it does not list formats such as seminars or product launches. What it does describe suits an evening event: stages, sound and lighting already installed, a DJ booth, bars and a license to open around the clock, every day of the week. A company party, a launch evening with a live act or a team night out are the formats this setup serves best. Confirm with the events team whether a daytime meeting or a presentation can be arranged, and with what equipment.
Rooms and capacities
The Supersonic Club, at 9 Rue Biscornet, is the main concert hall. The hall and its mezzanine cover 250 square meters and take up to 300 people over three levels. Ceiling height reaches 5.10 meters above the stage and 2.46 meters under the mezzanine. The club has two bars, a smoking room, a cloakroom and a reception area. The stage measures 4 by 3 meters and comes with a DJ booth, and the room is fully soundproofed and equipped.
Les Loges, the backstage area of the club, can be hired on its own. It covers 30 square meters for up to 30 guests, with a 2.50-meter ceiling, its own bar and toilets, a catering kitchen and air conditioning. It works for a small reception or as a green room alongside the main hall.
The Supersonic Records, at 9 bis Rue Biscornet, occupies a former record shop. It covers 100 square meters for up to 180 guests under a 5.50-meter ceiling. It has a triangular stage of 3 by 3 meters, a smoking room, a catering kitchen and a mezzanine used for filming and photography. The room is soundproofed and equipped, and it is on one level with step-free access.
The capacities above are the figures the venue gives; seated capacities are not published.
Catering
The site lists a catering kitchen in Les Loges and in the Supersonic Records, and bars in the club and the backstage lounge. It does not say whether food is prepared in-house or supplied by a caterer, so ask the team which caterers can work on site and what drinks packages the bars offer.
History and setting
The Supersonic opened in 2016 and has since built its program around the international indie scene, with emerging bands playing both rooms. It also runs three festivals a year: the Block Party, Restons Sérieux and They're Gonna Be Big. On public nights the club hosts concerts followed by DJ sets, while the Records hosts ticketed concerts and private events. Both venues are accessible to guests with reduced mobility, including bars and toilets.
Getting there
Bastille metro station (lines 1, 5 and 8) is three minutes on foot, using the Rue de Lyon exit. Bus lines 20, 29, 61, 65, 69, 76, 86, 87 and 91 stop nearby, and night buses N01, N02, N11, N16 and N34 run after the metro closes. There are Vélib' bike stations on Boulevard de la Bastille and Rue Lacuée, and a Yespark car park on Boulevard de la Bastille. Coming from Bastille, the Records is the first door on the right and the Club a few meters further on.
