O'Sullivans by the Mill anchors 92 Boulevard de Clichy in Pigalle, a short walk from the Moulin Rouge in Paris's 18th arrondissement. VisitParisRegion describes it as the Irish pub where football and rugby fans gather over a pint to watch the biggest fixtures on the big screen, and the venue stays open seven days a week from 4pm to 5am.
The room
The pub runs across multiple levels, with screens in the main bar and a back room that holds a small stage and a dance floor. O'Sullivans' own site notes that live bands play during the week and DJs take the weekend, so the space works as a sports bar early and a music room late. It absorbs a large crowd, which it needs on a tournament weekend.
What to order
This is a pint house first. The kitchen keeps it simple with tacos, nachos, and fried plates built for sharing while a match runs, per the venue's listing. Beer is the order of the night, and the bar pours through a long happy-hour-friendly evening rather than chasing a cocktail programme. Keep it to pints and bar food and you have read the room correctly.
Who it is for
O'Sullivans by the Mill is for sports fans who want a guaranteed screen near the Pigalle nightlife strip, and for groups who want the night to keep going past 2am. Bars Paris flags it as a reliable spot for the Six Nations and other big competitions. It is not a quiet local, and it is not a cocktail den.
Best time to go
Arrive well before kickoff for a marquee match, because the screens draw a standing crowd. Weeknights bring the live bands, and Friday and Saturday run latest with DJs in the back room. The Blanche and Pigalle Métro stops are both close.
What regulars say
Google Maps reviewers point to the same strengths: the screen setup, the reliable big-match atmosphere, and the late close that lets a night run on. Bars Paris flags it as a go-to for the Six Nations and the major tournaments. The recurring complaint is the volume and the crowd on a packed sports night, so anyone after a quieter pint is in the wrong room.
The bottom line
O'Sullivans by the Mill is a Pigalle sports bar with big screens, late hours, and a back-room stage steps from the Moulin Rouge. Come for the match, stay for the band, and plan on a late finish.
