Chez
Georges
A glass of red, the murmur of the Left Bank, and the possibility of jazz downstairs. Some Paris nights need no grand introduction.
Paris, without the performance.
Established in 1952, Chez Georges is the sort of Left Bank institution that wears its history lightly. Upstairs, conversation moves between glasses and familiar faces; downstairs, a vaulted cellar sets the scene for occasional live jazz.
Think wine, cheese, charcuterie and a night that might continue longer than planned. The atmosphere is convivial rather than formal, with the intimacy of an old neighbourhood address.
Downstairs,
the music.
There is something distinctly Parisian about a wine bar with another world below it. When the musicians play, swing and jazz manouche give the cellar its own rhythm.
Live sets take place on selected evenings. Check the programme before making a special trip.
“A little wine, a little jazz, and a Saint-Germain night worth staying out for.”
The practical details.
Chez Georges is a bar first, not a conventional ticketed concert hall. Music, table availability and hours can vary, so confirm the latest details with the venue.
