Dirty Dick

Dirty Dick is a standout bar in the vibrant Pigalle neighborhood of Paris, known for its unapologetically fun pirate theme. The entrance is unassuming, but inside, you're transported to a Caribbean-inspired hideaway with bamboo walls, hanging lanterns, and a ship's wheel. The bar specializes in rum-based cocktails, with an extensive menu of tiki drinks served in ceramic mugs shaped like skulls or parrots. The atmosphere is lively and convivial, with a playlist of reggae and calypso music. What sets Dirty Dick apart is its attention to detail, the staff wear pirate hats, and the restroom is designed like a ship's cabin. It's a place for groups and those looking to escape the typical Parisian bistro scene. The bar is small, so it can get packed, but the energy is infectious. Located on Rue Frochot, it's a short walk from the Moulin Rouge, making it a great pre- or post-show stop.

A bit of history

Dirty Dick opened in 2014, part of a wave of themed cocktail bars in Pigalle. Its name is a playful nod to the classic 'Dirty Dick's' pirate taverns, but it's entirely original to Paris.
