Nice place, always having a good crowd. But what stands out is the selection of beers from all over the place. Lots of Beers from France as well (surprising!).

For me, the selection of excellent IPA's stand out. The brewdog Hardcore IPA is a personal favorite.

It's a unique place in Paris, and I am becoming a regular. Looking on the crowd it's definitely a hit.

Service is outstanding, the owners run the bar and are extremely knowledgeable and very forgiven in their advice.

Outstanding place for beer lovers.

I have been waiting for 2 years for a place like this to open in Paris. Everything I loved about "real" beer bars in the U.S. with the added bonus of being able to try great French craft beers probably rarely found Stateside. The kicker is that I get to quench my undying thirst for hops that up until now has been hard to do outside the confines of my own apartment.

The service is great. All three bartenders also happen to be the owners of the bar and they love to share their passion for beer (which is quite obvious if you talk to them for more than 2 seconds).

La Fine Mousse is one of the few places in Paris that I have seen all types of age ranges as well as a very good girl/guy ratio (which can be awkwardly lopsided in many beer establishments!). Everyone seems to get along well - most people frequenting the bar are actual beer geeks or beer geeks in the making so the atmosphere is friendly and open.

I highly recommend this bar for all of the above reason + the fact that I have paid the same price for a half pint of Kronenbourg in any random bar in Paris as I have for a half pint of craft beer with character and depth at La Fine Mousse.

A true gem and a must visit if your are looking for a fun beer experience in Paris.

this is a great place, i went on a crowded thursday night but the service was impeccable, atmosphere great and the beers were really excellent.

the beers are well priced, as well as having an almost exclusively craft French selection. seeing as i have summered in France for my entire life (family here) i was extremely excited to taste some French craft stuffs. I asked immediately if they could do a flight, and unfortunately they couldnt do it in such presentation but were more than happy to give me four 4 oz pours which i allowed the bartender to choose cause i had no clue what to get. they were all awesome!

also, although the bartenders were capable of speaking perfect english they entertained my less than perfect french which is a rarity to be cherished in such an english inclined city as paris.

worth going out of the way to drink the belgians. this place is like the up and coming Blind Tiger of Paris. Great rotating taps and nothing at all to complain about except (maybe) the crowd if you're into quiet places. if you come to drink beer and are excited to do so you should have a more than excellent experience.

Went here last night, during the 'soft opening' hours. They've still got a few superficial kinks to iron out, but those are tiny tiny issues compared to the overall quality of beers and service. Prices are around 3.50 -> 4.50 EUR for 33 cl pours. We had Schneider Weisse tap 5, a rotbier, Brewdog 5AM Saint, Saison Dupont, Sylvanecte from Saint-Rieul, the Triple and the Blonde from Page 24... Everything was well-poured, clean, super fresh, and generally very very impressive. We will definitely be coming back.
