With the panelling of a traditional café but the backlit bottle racks of a fashion-conscious cocktail bar, Lafayette hits a fine balance between hip and friendly. The tubas and hanging hams add eccentricity, and conversation isn't quite drowned out by DJs whose tastes ranges from Parisian jazz to Barry White. Around 50 beers include the full sweep of Trappists.
Beer from €2; cocktails from €7.50.
Several other bars nearby are also lively until late.
