Javelle Tavern, Riverside tavern at Port Javelle Bas, Paris, France
Javelle is a riverside bar along the Seine with a spacious outdoor area right on the water's edge. The site offers open terraces for relaxing and a casual bar setup, with room for concerts and events throughout the year.
The tavern opened in 2014 and initially operated at the Javelle waterfront location. It later moved to a former railway site to expand its operations and programming capacity.
The venue draws crowds seeking live performances and dance nights, with artisan markets held regularly throughout the year. This mix of casual drinking, music, and local activities creates a social hub where different groups gather.
Visitors should know that outdoor seating can be limited during bad weather and the space gets crowded during summer months. The quieter times are typically weekday evenings or weekend afternoons.
The bar hosts themed parties where guests are invited to dress according to party guidelines. A large disco ball hangs above the dance floor, creating a playful setting for evening dance events.

Paris has about thirty floating venues and bars along the Seine, Marne, and canals. These establishments offer waterside dining areas, often accompanied by musical or cultural events. There are various types of locations: converted barges as restaurants, terraces built directly on quays, historic sites along the Marne, and some accessible only by boat. Some have been around for decades and are among the highly rated floating venues, while others have recently opened to meet the increasing demand for outdoor spaces in the city. The offerings are diverse. There are traditional venues with musette dance music, rooftop cocktail bars, Mediterranean restaurants, and places that combine dining with entertainment halls. Most are located within Paris city limits, with a few found in nearby suburbs, particularly along the Marne in Joinville-le-Pont and Champigny-sur-Marne. Most operate mainly during good weather, though some remain open year-round in heated indoor spaces.
