L'important, Bar and nightclub in the 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
L'important is a bar and nightclub on Rue de Lappe in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. It has a bar area, a restaurant section serving Italian food including pizza, and a dance floor where DJs play electronic music and other genres.
The venue has been part of the nightlife scene around Bastille under different names, a neighborhood with a long tradition of evening gatherings in Paris. Over time it evolved from a simple drinking spot into a place that hosts live concerts and DJ sets.
The venue opens in the late afternoon and stays open until early morning, so it works well for an evening out or a night that runs late. On weekends it gets noticeably fuller, and calling ahead to book a table is a good idea.
The evening often starts with jazz or soul concerts before a DJ takes over around midnight and shifts the mood completely. This transition from live music to electronic beats means a single visit can feel like two different nights in one.
