Dingo Bar occupies a location on rue Delambre in the 14th arrondissement where a historical establishment once stood. The space continues to function as a restaurant in this part of Montparnasse where writers and artists once gathered.
The original Dingo Bar opened in 1923 as one of the first places in Paris serving drinks around the clock. It was run by a former English boxer who drew writers and artists throughout the following decades.
The name Dingo Bar comes from its past as a gathering place for English-speaking visitors to Paris. A commemorative plaque on the building tells visitors about the artistic life that once thrived there.
The restaurant sits on a busy street in Montparnasse with easy foot access and nearby metro connections. Visitors should expect the location to be crowded during meal times, especially in the evening.
