Our Take
Belleville's Women-Led Cocktail Bar
Combat opened on rue de Belleville in 2017 and quickly built a reputation as one of the most thoughtful neighbourhood cocktail bars in Paris. The bar is women-led and the cocktail programme rotates seasonally with thoughtful original drinks alongside reliable classics.
The room is small and unfussy — bare wood, brass fittings, around 30 seats. The drinks are precise. The seasonal menu typically runs to 8 to 10 cocktails and the bartenders adapt to your preferences.
The crowd is mid-thirties Belleville locals — a younger, more diverse Paris than the Marais or 16th. Pair with the wider Belleville bar scene for a complete neighbourhood evening.
