Gay Travel Paris le Piano Zinc Bar

For gay travel Paris le Piano Zinc Bar is one of those places which everyone has heard about. Well - everyone except me, that is :-)

Le Piano Zinc was very famous in its hey-days in the 80s and 90s and was a colourful, noisy, outrageous place to visit. The entrance was rather hidden and unless you knew about le Piano Zinc, you'd not find it easily.

PS : Don't forget to check out the Gay orgainisations, gay bars and clubs, gay saunas, gay events, gay Pride, gay t-shirts and gifts, and the famous le Piano Zinc bar.

So, what happened to Le Piano Zinc?

Gay Paris Travel le Piano Zinc Bar - renovated as Le Swetty's cafe!

Le Piano Zinc was THE place to go for camp fun nightlife in gay Paris, opening its doors in 1981 and relaunching in 1999 under a new name. I guess you could say it was the first karaoke bar before anyone had even heard of karaoke.

Françoise Hardy - a Sixties pop star - loved Le Piano Zinc. In April 1999 it was relaunched after a massive make-over as Le Swetty's Café.

The owners Henri and Guy have updated the concept, got rid of the old piano, and have done a marvellous job to keep the spirit of this legendary bar alive. You'll find it located in the heart of Le Marais - the gay village.
