Mikkeller Bar Paris sits at 32 rue de Rochechouart in the 9th arrondissement, between Cadet and the foot of Montmartre, and is the French outpost of the Danish gypsy brewery Mikkeller. It runs around twenty rotating taps of Mikkeller and guest beers across two floors, blending Copenhagen minimalism with a Paris address, per the brewery's own location page.
Who would love it: a craft drinker who wants Mikkeller's experimental brews, hazy IPAs and barrel-aged stouts poured fresh, with a board that changes week to week. Who would not: anyone after a French wine bar or a cheap pint, since the focus here is imported and collaborative craft beer at craft-beer prices.
The room follows the global Mikkeller template, pale wood, clean lines and the brewery's playful labels on the wall, spread over two floors with a downstairs that opens up when the upstairs fills. Mikkeller built its name as a brewery without a fixed brewhouse, brewing collaboratively across Europe, and the Paris bar is one node in a worldwide chain of Mikkeller bars from Copenhagen to Bangkok. That global thread is the appeal: the taplist reads like a passport, with Mikkeller core lines next to one-off collaborations.
The order is whatever is rare on the board. Expect Mikkeller's hop-forward IPAs, sours and dark beers alongside guest taps from breweries the group rates, plus cans and bottles to take away. The smart move is a small pour of something barrel-aged or limited, then a full glass of the IPA that lands. The bar keeps cans and bottles to take away alongside the draught list, so a single tasting can easily turn into a longer sit. Pricing sits in Paris craft-beer range rather than corner-cafe range, which is the trade for tightly curated imported beer.
The crowd is a mix of beer travellers, local craft regulars and a younger 9th and Montmartre set, quieter on weekday evenings and busier on weekends. The taps turn over fast enough that the bar rewards repeat visits, and the staff are comfortable steering newcomers through the board. It works best as a focused beer stop rather than a long all-night base, given how quickly the upstairs fills.
Best time to go is an early weekday evening for a calm read of the rotating list, or a weekend if the buzz of a full taproom is the point. Mikkeller Bar Paris is the international-craft stop on a 9th arrondissement night. See where it sits among the best craft beer bars in Paris and browse the wider guide to craft beer bars by city, then plan the rest of the evening through the Paris bar guide.
Getting there is easy: the bar sits on rue de Rochechouart a short walk from Cadet and Anvers Métro stations, at the southern edge of the Pigalle and South Pigalle drinking zone. That puts it within reach of the 9th's bars and the climb up to Montmartre, so it fits a night that moves between craft beer and the hill above. Cards work, cans are sold to go, and the bar keeps later hours on Friday and Saturday.
