Rush Bar sits in 11e, Paris. No reservations for games, first come first served.
Rush Bar has held 32 rue Saint Sebastien in the 11e since 2004, and the French daily Liberation has named it among the ten best sports bars in the country. The room runs four screens that can carry four different competitions at once.
The coverage list is unusually wide for a neighborhood pub: French, English and German league football including Ligue 1, the major rugby championships, Formula 1, MotoGP and basketball, per the bar's own site.
The policy is part of the charm. The bar never takes reservations for games, so seats go to whoever shows up first, and native English speaking bartenders keep the room easy for visitors.
A pool table and a dart board fill the hours between fixtures, and weekday doors open at 8am. For watching sport in Paris, Rush is the local room that treats a race weekend as seriously as a derby.
Formula 1 and MotoGP Sundays, or any stacked football Saturday when you want four feeds at once.
