A Few Last Pointers on La Java
La Java is also a salsa venue, although less celebrated than, for example, La Balajo in Bastille (which was, incidentally, another major Piaf haunt). If you're thinking of making a night of it at La Java, it's wise to phone or check the website ahead to confirm the music theme, and in case of potential live acts (we missed two rock bands before midnight).
While La Java undoubtedly has one or two rough edges to it, overlook these and you’ll be treated to an original clubbing experience-- one that made me nostalgic for a Piaf-era Paris, and relieved that a music scene exists beyond the English-speaking world.
