Nestled on the Left Bank just steps from Pont Neuf and the charming Saint‑Germain‑des‑Prés neighbourhood, The Highlander is a pocket of Scotland in the heart of Paris. Its vaulted stone interior, authentic Scottish-style décor, and stone‑walled cellar create a cosy and convivial atmosphere. The pub spans two floors: upstairs offers a tranquil, classic Scottish pub vibe with around 80 whisky varieties plus ales and stouts, while downstairs is more festive, equipped with big screens for live rugby and football broadcasts and lively event programming.

The Highlander is a hub of entertainment. It hosts open mic nights every Wednesday, karaoke on Thursdays, live music or DJ sessions on Fridays, and quiz nights on Mondays and Sundays—plus student-themed events on Thursdays. During major sporting events, multiple screens upstairs and downstairs ensure you won’t miss a moment. This schedule keeps things buzzing and offers something for virtually every taste.

The pub welcomes a mixed crowd—locals, students, expats, sports fans, and music lovers—all drawn by the Scottish-themed charm and friendly vibe. It stays open late (generally from mid‑afternoon until around 2 AM or later, depending on the night), has regular happy hour offers (drinks from around €4 and whiskies from around €8), and even serves simple bites like hot dogs and cheese toasties for a quick snack. It’s wheelchair-accessible, casual, and has a relaxed age policy—making it ideal for most tourists looking for a fun, unpretentious night out in Paris.
