James Heetsfeld's Pub - Paris

My wife and I went in here for happy hour as they were advertising Smithwicks. Once inside it took many minutes to get a beer as bartender said Smithwicks was no good, neither was Guiness or Kilkenney? Taps were there but he poured some out, all were ****! Strange way to operate a pub! We eventaully had a drink each and left. Right across street is Corcorans Irish pub, excellent drinks and food, Go to that place and avoid this one......

Not a paper towel or toilet paper in site, no seat. You have to wonder about the staff cleanliness. Otherwise drinks were fine. Music was varied, which was a little off, from metal to jazz. And what’s with the name of the bar no association with James Hetfield of Metallica , but his pictures are all over the place ???

BEWARE the barman who served us on Thursday night (16th Aug hope the manager is reading this) attempted to scam me out of €10. I bought a couple of drinks for €8 and gave him a €20. He then came up with an implausible sounding story about having no change and he’d bring it to our table (the bar had a few people in and he was giving them change). Immediately I suspected what was about to happen but gave him the benefit of the doubt. Guess what 5 mins later he sent his colleague over with two euros which he casually dumped on the table. I of course called him out and he paid up. However this was the very first drink I bought on the very first night of my holiday. Welcome to Paris....

I was there to enjoy the happy hour with friends. Prices are actually correct during that time. One of us needed to go the rest rooms and saw an absolutely dirty place, with no toilet paper and looking like a post-war environment. This gives a terrible image of the place. In addition the Kilkenny was not drinkable due to unknown reasons. Not recommended at all!

Als Metalhead wird man beim Anblick des "James Hefeeld's Pub" gleich hellhörig, soll doch die namentliche Nähe zu Metallica's Frontmann suggeriert werden, das Ganze wird dann noch abgerundet duch das Band-Logo daneben: Klare Sache, da gehen wir hin. Also führte uns der Weg von Montmartre nicht ganz zufällig am James Hetfeeld's vorbei. Beim Betreten merkt man schon, dass es sich um eine Musikkneipe handelt, gute Soundanlage, Bühne, Bilder. Wie es sich für einen Pub gebührt, haben wir zwei Guinness bestellt. Zu meinem Entsetzen wurde das erste (wir waren die ersten Gäste überhaupt) Bier zwar in einem Glas beiseite gestellt, die abgestandene Leitungsbrühe dann aber am Ende des Zapfvorganges auf unsere beiden Gläser verteilt - Prost Mahlzeit. Dazu lief in voller Lautstärke statt Heavy Metal eine französische Soap im Fernsehen - wohl die Lieblings-Serie des Thekenpersonals.Ich trinke häufig und sehr sehr gerne Guinness und in vielen Jahren ist dies das erste seiner Art, das ich nicht trinken wollte. Angewidert und zutiefst enttäuscht haben wir das Lokal dann auch schon bald wieder verlassen. Wer diesen Namen und dieses Motto vorgaukelt, der sollte sich in Anbetracht der gebotenen Leistung schämen!
