The HQ, Bar and pub in the 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
Le QG is a bar and pub on the corner of Rue de la Roquette and Rue de Lappe in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. It has a large terrace that opens onto both streets, along with a simple interior with a bar counter and a few tables.
The area around Rue de Lappe and Rue de la Roquette was long a working-class neighborhood with craftsmen, artists, and small local bars. Over time it became one of the city's most frequented nightlife areas while keeping its popular character.
The terrace fills up quickly on warm evenings, so arriving early helps you find a good seat outside. The bar is open Tuesday through Saturday and tends to be busiest in the early evening hours.
The name QG stands for quartier général, meaning headquarters in French, which reflects the idea of a regular meeting point for friends. The corner where the bar sits is one of the entry points to Rue de Lappe, a street that has been known for its dance halls since the 1930s.
