Which nights are club nights
La Bellevilloise doesn't run a club every weekend. It picks its dates and gives each one a strong identity, often through crews that have their own following. Look at autumn 2026. Maurice Fulton, Céline B. and Nick V played La Mona on 6 November, a night that travels from disco through house into techno. The eve of the 11 November holiday belonged to La Shattarena #11 and its Afro-Caribbean and tropical sounds. DJ Spinna was the guest of Free Your Funk x Club Coco on the 14th, the 20th was a Roller Party, and Quantic & Friends close the year for Free Your Funk on 19 December. Earlier in the year, Afro Heaven mixed afro, amapiano and shatta. If you like funk, soul-rooted house or Afro-Caribbean sounds more than straight techno, it's one of the best-matched venues in the east of Paris.
Hip-hop, afro and Latin nights in Paris →A cooperative building with a rooftop
The name comes from the Bellevilloise workers' cooperative, founded in the district in 1877, and the venue keeps that memory while being run today by the Cultplace group. Under one roof you get a concert hall, a club floor, a restaurant set among olive trees, the Halle aux Oliviers, and a rooftop called Le Toit. Brunches, gigs and shows fill the daytime and early evening, which is why plenty of club nights here begin at a dinner table. Expect a mixed, local crowd and a mood closer to a neighbourhood party than to a strict door. For a group that can't agree on music, that's useful: eat at the Halle aux Oliviers, go up to Le Toit if it's warm enough, and finish on the club floor.
What to wear
La Bellevilloise doesn't publish a dress code for its club nights. Some parties have a theme, such as the Roller Party, so check the event page before you choose your outfit. Otherwise, dress for a busy dancefloor in a neighbourhood venue: comfortable, with shoes you can dance in. Each party has its own page and ticketing on the venue's site. If you'd like a table at the Halle aux Oliviers before the party, or you're organising a birthday or a group night, send us a WhatsApp with the date and the size of your group.
Getting there and getting home
Rue Boyer is on the slopes of the 20th, halfway between Gambetta and Ménilmontant, and nearby rue de Ménilmontant is lined with bars. For the metro, get off at Gambetta on line 3 (use the Orfila exit) or at Ménilmontant on line 2; buses 26, 61, 69 and 96 also come this way. Most club nights start at 22:00 or 23:00, so you can meet up in the neighbourhood first. The last metros get to the end of their lines at about 02:15 on Fridays and Saturdays; after that, the Noctilien N16 and N34 serve the area, and the night network covers roughly 00:30 to 05:30.
