What reviewers say

Visitors praise One Way as a friendly, welcoming gay bar with a great atmosphere and a nice bartender, often noting its long history and regulars. However, some complain about a strong smell, a potentially unwelcoming attitude from staff towards certain patrons, and a downstairs area described as adventurous or for mature audiences.

About this place One Way

One Way sits at 28 Rue Charlot in the northern Marais, one of the last older gay bars still in business. The crowd is mostly mature, bear‑ish, and the vibe stays low‑key; regulars are quick to strike up a conversation with newcomers. Downstairs, a more active cruising spot lets people sling around—reviewers note the sling is a staple. The bar opens at 5 p.m. every day, staying open until 2 a.m., and extends to 5 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, so it works as an early drink or a late last stop. If you head downstairs, the rule is simple: ask, and take no for an answer.

Note : The website is (was) wrong. I asked google to change it to the Instagram profile. I don't know when the change will take effects. If you need more informations look for "OneWayBarParis" on Instagram. If you have any questions, send us a message here.
