Avis CARMEN Paris

Your typical Xenophobic club in Paris. Have fun trying to get in even if you’re dressed nicely! Dude couldn’t even come up with a reason to not let us in, just said it was impossible.

Venir âpreté et en petit groupe pour vraiment profiter

Désolé pour tous les rageux mais le Carmen c'est le Carmen, un lieu incontournable de la nuit à Paris, pour qui veut en goûter le prestige et la volupté. Bien sûr d'aucun me diront que le soundsystem est catastrophique, mais pour ce genre de critère, il y a pleins d'autres endroits moins beaux et mieux sonorisés intra-muros. Le Carmen ne nous émerveille pas pour sa musique mais pour son cadre totalement hors-norme et sa vibe extrêmement chic et branché, trop peut-être, mais Paris est une capitale de la fashion, on y fait attention aux outfits plus que nulle part ailleurs, hormis Milan, Londres ou New-York. L'entrée est compliquée mais elle est gratuite, et croyez-moi je suis intense pratiquant de soirées sur prévente, ce qui ne donne vraiment pas toujours les meilleurs résultats. Bref, si vous êtes stylés et curieux, foncez !

Zzzzz…. music was bland and quite and ppl inside were allergic to dancing. maybe a nice place to visit with a date but other than that dont go there !!!

Boooooooring, did not see a single person dance

Énorme

Les mauvais avis c les losers qui se font refuser l’entrée

Accueil hostile et inadapté. Ambiance plate. Ratio 75% de mec. Beau cadre certes mais cela tient plus du lieu que de la boite en elle même. Overrated.

Bande de gueush que vous êtes je suis venu 4 fois par semaine pdt 4 ans, ma meuf a travaillé la 2 ans, et je rentre pas pcq l’autre il est en pleine monté de C et que j’ai un sac à dos pcq je sors de shoot, le tout pour se faire briller devant trois bouffonnes américaines. Franchement je vous ai défendu corps et âmes, mais la c’est plus possible, même votre videur était choqué pcq il comprenait pas…..

Expérience déplorable, les serveurs sont littéraires misogynes. Aucune ambiance, service désagréable.

Unique and lovely place

Be warned if you are staying near this place.
There are lots of apartments and a hotel nearby. This place is a total noise nuisance. All their customers come out onto the pavement to smoke and they make a noise throughout the night - 2am, 3am, and 4am - until it eventually closes. Their door staff make no attempt to quieten down their customers and the noise is horrendous. How this place is allowed to operate in a semi residential area is beyond me.

Soirée éphèmere mais très agréable. Malgré que nous n'ayons pas été accepté dans cet établissement, nous avons particulierement apprecié la rhétorique du physionomiste qui nous a gentimement exprimer son souhait de ne pas nous laisser entrer avec une bienveillance presque déconcertante.

Never mind the fact this is a terrible club with no atmosphere and awful music. But the worst thing is that the security staff are dangerous and mysoginist. Please read the owners disgusting replies to reviews from women saying they were not safe in this venue, joking about strangling women when the staff have actually assaulted customers. The contempt for women is clear. Stay away from this place, a rapidly declining club that’s only popular on social media and has no real substance or vibe.

Pour une soirée privée, lieu magnifique, staff très sympa sound système un peu lègé en haut mais très bien en bas
Merci

Very rude bouncer. Disrespectful and rude.

Catastrophique. Sale. Videur insupportable. Pas d'ambiance

Super soirée avec la Freakish !

C’est toujours un plaisir, à la fois de lire avec amusement les commentaires dépréciatifs et totalement ineptes de nombreux refoulé·e·s, et de constater, à chaque visite, que l’âme du lieu, jalousement préservée par Adrien, demeure tout aussi plaisante et enjouée.
Ne changez rien, si ce n’est, peut-être un jour, le plaisir d’« arrondir » le son. Mais pour l’ambiance, l’accueil et le service, vraiment, on vous adore.
Un grand bravo au DJ (Georges ?) pour l’éclectisme de sa playlist, ainsi qu’à Adrien pour la reprise des commandes en fin de soirée !

Georges Bizet doit savourer de là haut ce qu'est devenu son refuge.

Longue vie à vous.

Echoing other reviews—this place is not safe for women.

The bouncers at this venue need urgent vetting and it is really disappointing to see you have been warned again and again in these other reviews.

Between 2-2:30 am on March 8th (yes, International Women's Day), a deeply disturbing incident occurred near the couch by the DJ/mirror. One of the security staff—a heavy set man with mid length floppy hair—put his hands around a woman's neck and strangled her on the dancefloor while shouting about respect. He didn’t like how she had playfully engaged with him while he himself was dancing on the furniture. She did not resist, yet he used excessive and brutal force. Fortunately, she happens to be trained in the Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression and was able to remain calm. Had she struggled, the outcome could have been far worse.

Even without resistance, he continued applying force in an attempt to cause harm and dragged and pushed her while clenching her neck. She has since experienced persistent neck pain as a direct result of his unjustified assault.

When four people tried to report this to another bouncer once off the premises (where the culprit could no longer act unchecked), we were shut down with a dismissive "I believe him because he's the bouncer." The lack of accountability was alarming, and even the bouncer who defended him avoided eye contact with us, totally unable to deal with this indefensible situation.

This is beyond a one-off incident; it speaks to a culture of hiring people who are there to abuse their own perceived power where they likely have none elsewhere. Review the footage. This cannot be ignored. It is only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt—or worse.

Women deserve to feel safe in your venue. This was not just excessive force; it was violent, dangerous, and a lucky escape.

O.A.K.

This venue is not safe for women.

When we were entering Carmen we met a bouncer on the outside who we later bumped into on the dance floor

As he was one of the first people we met in the queue, when we saw him on the dance floor my friend and I gently tapped him as a way to say hiiiiii again :D (I tapped him on the shoulder and a friend brushed the front of his nose - weird but with no harm intended)

This bouncer then proceeded to flip out, claiming my friend (a small joyful woman) “punched him in the face” he grabbed her by the **neck** and dragged her out of the club

As a woman this just felt like another classic case of a powerless bouncer-man feeling the need to “assert” whatever limited power he had, to display whatever limited “dominance” he needed

Welp… I hope manhandling yet another woman gave you whatever power-trip you needed ????

Cocktail trop cher

J’étais là bas pour une soirée privée avec beaucoup de gens. L’endroit est super cool j’aime trop l’atmosphère avec le haut plafond et la déco à l’ancienne c’était très cool. Après c’est pas hyper grand mais bon ça m’a pas gêné. Très content de la prestation des Barman qui sont très efficace super gentil enfin ça fait du bien de se sentir écouté de rigoler un peu avec eux et très bonnes suggestions de leur parts j’ai adoré leur cocktail
