Experience the iconic shower show at Raidd Bar, the heart of gay Paris. High-energy pop, sexy dancers, and no cover in Le Marais.
No visit to the City of Light is complete without checking into Raidd Bar, a legendary institution located in the heart of Le Marais. As a must-see destination on any global gay map of Paris, this high-energy gay bar is world-famous for its one-of-a-kind "Shower Show." Every night, the crowd gathers around the iconic glass tank embedded in the wall to watch muscular dancers make a splash under the neon lights—an experience that has defined Parisian queer nightlife for over two decades. Beyond the spectacle, Raidd Bar offers a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for gay men and the wider LGBTQ+ community. Whether you're stopping by for their generous happy hour—often featuring half-price drinks until 11 PM—or diving into the late-night pop-dance party, the vibe is consistently electric. The industrial-chic space, complete with exposed brick and a hidden basement lounge, is always packed with a stylish mix of local trendsetters and international travelers. With no cover charge and a staff as friendly as they are attractive, it’s the perfect place to grab a cocktail, meet new friends, and dance until the early hours. From Disco Tuesdays to high-octane weekend sets, Raidd Bar remains the beating heart of queer Paris.
