Yonko is a gaming bar and karaoke club in the Odéon area spread across two stories. The main bar occupies the ground floor while the vaulted basement holds video games and board games for patrons to enjoy.
Since its opening, the venue has stood out as one of Paris's early gaming bars, mixing traditional bar service with gaming entertainment. This combination of drinks and games was a fairly new concept for Parisian bars at the time.
Throughout the space, design elements from the One Piece manga series appear on walls and in decorations, bringing Japanese pop culture into the heart of Paris. Visitors notice these touches as they move between the bar and lower level.
The bar is located on Rue Monsieur le Prince and opens Tuesday through Sunday from 17:30 to 2:00, with gaming equipment available free after purchasing a drink. Guests can order a beverage and then enjoy the games without additional charges.
