This is a beautiful, yet traditional English bar with a busy
little brewery in the cellar and as with many such establishments in the UK it holds quiz
nights, music and entertainment nights, DJ and party nights and at the weekend it really
does get buzzing with a young and international party crowd.
The Frog and Rosbif is situated in the 2nd arrondissement, just around the corner from the
Rue Montorgueil, which is the oldest market street in Paris
and on weeknights they have a happy hour but this lasts for more than an hour! Plus
you can get bar snacks, hot sandwiches like a chicken and bacon bagel with fries, and
typical bar food like fish and chips to fill your stomach before you drink too much!
This place is the original one of the FrogPubs chain in France and was an instant success
with the British ex-pats, but also became very popular with the Parisians along with many
other nationalities as well. So due to this success, they have expanded and opened
up three other bars in Paris called the Frog and Princess, The Frog at Bercy Village and the Frog and British Library. They have
also now expanded further afield and opened two bars called the Frog and Rosbif in other regions in France, one being in Toulouse and the other in
Bordeaux.
With the Frog and Rosbif, the ex-pats have everything they could wish for including even
the odd English paper hanging around on the shelf by the bar and you would be mistaken in
thinking you are back in the UK with the interior in wood with numerous curiosities
around, but this bar has a great friendly atmosphere no matter what your nationality.
Paris Bar Guide Key Points
The Frog and Rosbif is open every day from noon until 2am.
When we were there in 2008 they were offering a 13€ lunch menu Monday to Friday, and
they were serving an English breakfast every Sunday.
Food is served continuously from noon until 11pm every day of the week.
They have Happy Hours from 5.30pm through to 8pm Monday to Friday with a pint of beer only
4.50€ and other drinks like cocktails on special.
On a Thursday, students can get all drinks at the Happy Hour pricing all night, and enjoy
magic tricks performed at your table or while away the hours listening to 80's, 90's and
present day music.
On a Sunday at 8pm they hold Quiz Nights where you can win free drinks!
If you would like to have a party at the Frog and Rosbif, then a section of the bar can be
reserved for up to 100 people with special prices on food and drink, but obviously this
would have to be reserved in advance.
You do need reservations at this place to eat
out in Paris and the dress code is casual, but you might like to know that they also
have free WiFi for those of you that cannot go a day without getting your emails!
Unfortunately, though it is not very accessible to the disabled as the toilets are
actually downstairs.
The nearest Metro station is the Etienne Marcel
