Le Dernier Bar Avant La Fin Du Monde


For lovers of Cosplay, action heroes, comics and Game of Thrones; for Trekkies, Whovians and other such fandoms, there is only one place to go in Paris: Le Dernier Bar Avant La Fin du Monde. This amazing bar is like stepping into a portal and being whisked through all of your favourite universes, but not before you swig down some dutch courage in the form of a quirkily themed cocktail, such as 'Captain Picard's Earl Grey' or 'Mutant Ninja Turtle'.


There's a shelf stacked high with board games - the lengthy 3 hour kind which lead to feuds and alliances forming and tactical playing to impress even Loki himself. Being not much of a gamer myself, we tried for about 15 minutes to understand the rules of this one and then gave up... 



But my favourite part of the bar is hidden in a labyrinthine like warren of underground rooms that seem to stretch on forever, each decorated to suit a different theme. At the top of the stairs a sign warns you to lay down your weapons...



...but don't fear, the most frightening creatures you'll encounter are these little guys! E.T., R2-D2 and Pikachu, the house defibrillator. 








Signs to the toilets, and the masks from V for Vendetta 





Pirates of the Caribbean?



Some kind of StarTrek-esque place, though I wouldn't like to bet on it. My geeky knowledge is not one to stand the test!



Smaug!


 

And my favourite, repping Britain - it's the TARDIS!

 

The drinks aren't that cheap - think €12.00 for a cocktail - but it's a really fun place to hang out with friends, especially if you are into fandoms or board games. The staff seem friendly and it has a great atmosphere!
