Where can you privatize a bar for a corporate event in Paris?

The choice depends first on headcount. Up to 30 people, a floor, a lounge or a semi-private area is enough, for example at Apéro Square near Opéra or upstairs at Divine in the 10th. From 30 to 150 people, PAN Bar Paris, a shooting bar in the 10th, can be privatized in full and adds an activity to the evening. Beyond 150 people, La Rêverie near Bastille hosts up to 200 guests and OCCO Paris in the 6th lists the same capacity.

How much does it cost to privatize a bar for a company in Paris?

Published prices range from 29 euros per person for an afterwork on a reserved table at Hall's Beer Tavern to 49 euros for a 30 to 70 person package at the same venue. PAN Bar Paris lists its team building package from 36 euros per person. For a full venue, Apéro Square starts at 1,680 euros including tax for 26 to 70 people, drinks and food included. Beyond that, venues work on quote.

What is the difference between semi-private and full privatization?

Semi-private hire reserves a defined area, a floor, a cellar or a lounge, while the rest of the bar stays open to the public. Full privatization closes the venue to outside customers. The first suits groups of 15 to 40 people and costs much less, the second is required as soon as a speech, a projection or a controlled atmosphere is planned.

Which bar can you privatize for a 100-person corporate event in Paris?

At 100 people, several Paris bars remain possible. PAN Bar Paris privatizes the whole venue for up to 150 people with a shooting activity, La Baraque in the 11th seats 100 and takes 120 people in cocktail format, Le Marilyn in Oberkampf goes up to 120, Divine on rue d'Hauteville up to 105 and Hall's Beer Tavern in Châtelet up to 100 depending on the layout.

How far in advance should a bar be booked for a company party?

For November and December, one to two months ahead is needed, as Thursdays and Fridays go first. The rest of the year, two to three weeks is generally enough for a group of 30 to 70 people. A Tuesday or Wednesday offers more availability and better room for negotiation.

Privatize a bar for a corporate event in Paris: which venue by headcount in 2026

In short:
To privatize a bar for a corporate event in Paris, the real headcount decides the venue before the atmosphere does. Listed capacities are standing cocktail maximums, a seated meal often halves them.
The threshold for full privatization is most often around 30 people. Below that, semi-private hire costs less for a comparable result.
Between 30 and 150 people, PAN Bar Paris is one of the few venues covering the whole range with a built-in activity, where most bars offer only the counter and the dance floor.
Only three venues in this comparison publish priced packages. For the others, a quote is the rule, and the minimum spend is the first point to clarify.

From 10 to 30 people, semi-private hire is enough

At this scale, closing a whole venue is expensive for little benefit. Paris bars offer dedicated areas that isolate the group without the cost of full privatization.

Hall’s Beer Tavern, at 68 rue Saint-Denis in the 1st, lists an afterwork package at 29 euros per person for 10 to 30 people, with a reserved table (not privatized), one drink and a savory platter. The connected dartboard is free.

Apéro Square, at 24 rue Daunou in the 2nd, offers a seated format for 10 to 15 people with a minimum spend of 39 euros per person, then a semi-private walking dinner for 15 to 25 people from 800 euros including tax.

Divine, at 61 rue d’Hauteville in the 10th, offers a closed upstairs room for up to 35 people with its own staff, and La Rêverie, on rue de la Roquette in the 11th, lounges for 20 to 40 people from Sunday to Thursday.

For a group of this size that wants an activity rather than just drinks, the booths at PAN Bar Paris can be booked from 2 people and 16 euros per person, without privatizing the venue.

From 30 to 70 people, the full privatization threshold

This is the range where hiring a whole venue becomes worthwhile, and where the Paris offer is the widest.

PAN Bar Paris, at 6 rue de Paradis in the 10th, privatizes the whole venue from 30 people. The concept is built on shooting booths inspired by clay pigeon shooting, equipped with rifles and a tablet that launches around ten games and is used to order cocktails and sharing plates cooked on site. The private package includes a dedicated host for the evening, a group photo, the option to project a presentation and a single point of contact, with food from the menu or from a caterer on quote. The team building package, without full privatization, starts at 36 euros per person for 4 to 66 people, with one drink, one dish for four and a group photo.

Apéro Square can be fully privatized for 26 to 70 people from 1,680 euros including tax, drinks and food included, with live cooking and a screen for presentations. It is one of the only Paris venues to publish the price of a full privatization.

Hall’s Beer Tavern offers its Signature package at 49 euros per person for 30 to 70 people, and Le Marilyn, at 122 rue Oberkampf in the 11th, privatizes its cellar for 40 to 60 people.

From 70 to 150 people, few bars can hold the numbers

Past 70 guests, the choice narrows sharply. Fewer bars can host this volume, and the question of format, activity, dinner or dancing, becomes decisive.

PAN Bar Paris remains the most complete option in this range, with privatization up to 150 people and up to 65 players at the same time, which keeps teams rotating throughout the evening. The venue is accessible to people with reduced mobility, open Tuesday to Sunday and closed on Mondays. The game is open from age 16 and the bar is for adults only.

La Baraque, at 102 rue de Charonne in the 11th, combines a restaurant, a bar and a nightclub, with 100 seated covers and up to 120 people in cocktail format, for an evening that moves from dinner to the dance floor. Le Marilyn can be fully privatized for up to 120 people, Divine for up to 105 across its three spaces, and Hall’s Beer Tavern for up to 100 depending on the layout.

Beyond 150 people, leave the bar format

Very few Paris bars go beyond 150 guests. La Rêverie privatizes its whole establishment for 80 to 200 people, indoor and outdoor included, and OCCO Paris, on rue de l’Ancienne Comédie in the 6th, lists modular spaces for up to 200 people and events that can run until 5 am.

Beyond that, an event venue is needed. Le 211, facing the Canal de l’Ourcq, for instance lists five spaces that can host up to 1,000 people. For an event spread over a full day, the comparison on how to organise a company seminar in Paris details the room and activity options.

Limits of this comparison

Several caveats apply. Published capacities are maximums in cocktail format, and a seated dinner reduces them. Priced packages only concern three venues, PAN Bar Paris, Apéro Square and Hall’s Beer Tavern, the others working on quote. No venue fits every format. PAN Bar Paris suits teams that want a shared activity, but does not offer a late dance party, and its food is shared rather than served at the table. Conversely, La Baraque and Le Marilyn get people dancing, but do not keep busy a group whose members barely know each other.

Booking platforms for group bars make it quick to compare several venues available on the same date. They do not replace a direct conversation with the venue to set the minimum spend and the closing time.

How to check a private hire quote

Four points should be confirmed in writing before any deposit.

Capacity by format, cocktail and seated, not a single figure.
The exact content of the package, drinks, food, entertainment, projection equipment, cloakroom.
The minimum spend and how any shortfall is billed.
The day and the closing time, a Tuesday or Wednesday being easier to negotiate than a Thursday in December.

Verdict

To privatize a bar for a corporate event in Paris, headcount drives the choice well before the neighborhood. Under 30 people, semi-private hire at Apéro Square, Divine or Hall’s Beer Tavern is enough. Between 30 and 150 people, PAN Bar Paris stands out by covering the whole range with a built-in activity and a dedicated host, a rare combination in Paris. La Baraque and Le Marilyn remain the references for an evening that ends on the dance floor, and La Rêverie the solution beyond 150 guests.
