A Marais cocktail bar built around a North African aesthetic, a hidden courtyard, and a weekend DJ programme that runs past 2am.
Andy Wahloo sits at 69 Rue des Gravilliers in the upper Marais, two minutes' walk from Arts et Metiers metro, and has been operating since the mid-2000s as part of the group built by London restaurateur Mourad Mazouz (Sketch, Momo). The bar's name is a play on Warhol; the room is Mazouz-typical Maghrebi maximalist — old soda crates, painted barrels, vintage North African film posters.
Time Out Paris has carried Andy Wahloo on its Marais cocktail-bar shortlist consistently, and The Infatuation Paris placed it on its 2024 “late-night Paris” list as one of the few central rooms that runs a serious cocktail programme past midnight on a weekend. The bar pulls a heavier weekend crowd than a typical Paris cocktail counter, and the small courtyard at the back is the seat to ask for.
Two connected rooms plus a small interior courtyard. The front room is loud, the courtyard is the quieter seat, and the back room runs a Friday-Saturday DJ programme from 10pm. The decor is the Mazouz signature: bright primary colours, salvaged North African objects, low banquettes. Google Maps reviewers (n=940) consistently flag the courtyard as the seat worth waiting for.
Order the house Negroni (€13) built with a Moroccan-spiced bitter base, and the Wahloo Sour (€13) which uses orange-blossom water in place of egg white. The mezze menu is genuinely good and well-priced; Time Out Paris noted the small-plates programme is “the rare Paris cocktail-bar kitchen worth ordering from past 11pm”. Skip the long pour list; this is a stirred-classics-and-mezze room.
Marais regulars and Sketch alumni until 10pm; a younger weekend dance crowd from 11pm onward. r/paris regulars flag Friday and Saturday past midnight as “dance bar more than cocktail bar” — a good thing or a bad thing depending on the visit. Best window for a cocktail-led visit is Tuesday or Wednesday from 7pm to 10pm.
Reservations are taken via the bar's official site and through the connected restaurant 404 next door, which shares ownership and a kitchen. Reservations are recommended on weekends and essential for the courtyard. The bar shuts on Sundays and Mondays year-round and closes for two weeks in August. Card and contactless both work; service charge is included in the menu price in line with French law and additional tipping is not expected. The kitchen runs a Moroccan-French mezze menu until 1am, mostly priced €9 to €18 per plate, which is unusual late-night value in this part of the Marais. The bar accepts foreign cards and the staff English is fluent. Smoking is permitted in the courtyard only. r/paris regulars warn that the room can run cold in winter when the back-room doors stay open for the DJ traffic; the bar provides blankets on request, which is a small thoughtful detail. Photography is allowed but discouraged with the staff, and the DJ booth has a posted no-photo rule.
