The Wrong Side is an independent cultural venue and restaurant-bar at 12 avenue de la Porte de Montmartre in Paris 18e, with 500 m² of modular space that can be privatized for professional and private events. Three named spaces are offered: a 125 m² stage for seminars and conferences, a 68 m² bar for cocktails and afterworks, and a 65 m² salon for smaller formats. The venue does not publish seated or standing capacities, so the guest count should be given in the quote request.
Seminars and company events
The venue presents itself as more than a room to rent: a living place designed for professional, creative and institutional formats. The stage, at 125 m², is the space the official site assigns to seminars and conferences. The bar, at 68 m², is the one assigned to cocktails and afterworks, which suits the end of a working day or a team gathering. The salon, at 65 m², is the one proposed for intimate formats such as a committee, a workshop or a small dinner. Because the three spaces sit in the same building, an organiser can plan a conference on the stage, a break in the salon and a drink at the bar. Privatization is arranged per project, and the team publishes a cultural calendar, so the date should be checked against the venue's own programming.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages speak of professional and private events but do not list weddings. Private receptions such as a birthday or an anniversary party can be raised in the quote request, together with the guest count and the schedule.
Rooms and capacities
The three spaces and their areas are the figures the official site gives. The stage covers 125 m². The bar covers 68 m². The salon covers 65 m². Together with the other areas of the building, the venue speaks of 500 m² of modular space. No room has a stated number of guests, so ask the team for capacities by layout: theatre, banquet or cocktail.
Catering
The venue is also a restaurant-bar, open Tuesday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. The kitchen blends Lebanese roots with seasonal, local produce: vegetables from nearby, spices from further away and fresh herbs. This is a cooking style that suits a shared meal or a cocktail with small dishes. The official pages do not describe a catering package for private events, so the choice between the house kitchen and an outside caterer is a question for the quote request.
History and setting
The Wrong Side presents itself as a new independent hybrid and cultural space in Paris, a place of conviviality and creation where people eat, listen, learn and pass on. The founder and manager is named on the site as Nabil El Dirani. The address is at the gates of Montmartre, on the northern edge of the city.
Getting there
The venue is on avenue de la Porte de Montmartre in the 18th arrondissement, close to the Paris ring road. The nearest Metro station is Porte de Clignancourt on Line 4, and the T3b tramway also serves the area. Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport is the closest major airport.
