Serving Belgian beer, Calvados and wine in her surreal post-war era time machine, Madame Polo squeezes in a diverse and loyal clientele that includes locals of the 11eme arrondissement, South American and British ex pats, young Parisian bobo and war veterans alike.</span></p> <p><span>Le Pt’t Bar has no phone, certainly no website and seems to have slipped through the cracks in an age of excessive health and safety regulations. Old books are piled up on any available surface, posters of animals cover the walls and trinkets of the past from around the world hang from hooks and shelves. Old bottles and half-washed glasses accumulate, indicating Madame Polo isn’t too keen on doing the washing up and the stale air tells of a place unchanged since its opening in 1965.</span></p>http://lukeevanssk8.tumblr.com/post/53046201566http://lukeevanssk8.tumblr.com/post/53046201566Sat, 15 Jun 2013 16:09:00 -0400parisbar<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/598cc18c146b7f98abb303e6452b473d/tumblr_mog4erMt7Y1qg55iwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://benothingbtn.tumblr.com/post/53037476172">benothingbtn</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>A week today we’ll be hosting <a href="http://thebabiesband.tumblr.com/">The Babies</a> at The Green Door Store.
