Frog hangouts

Saturday, June 17, 2006 Posted by Eric


This photo is of one of several of the FrogPubs chain which was started by a couple of students studying for their MBA at Insead university. The Frog and Rosbif is their signature pub, which opened in 1993 on rue St Denis, and is now part of 6 other pubs started from a school project. Imagine the homework necessary to come up with this concept! The chain is a big success with expats, tourists, and local Parisians.

    If i had to choose, i would go to the Frogpub located "rue Princesse".
    The small area grouping "rue Princesse" (street opened around 1600), "rue Guisard" (opened also around 1600) and "rue des Canettes" (already existing in 1250!) belongs to the real "old Paris". It is also a rare (the single?) remaining lively area with typical "Saint Germain des Prés" atmosphere of the fifties, where clubbers can still go late in the evening to have a drink in old bars, or eat.
    Rue Princesse, there is also "Chez Castel", a famous night club/bar where french VIP go to have fun: you don't have advertisement for it, one has to know it to notice it: it has a red front, 15 rue Princesse, but you have to be well dressed, and you can't be sure they would let you in.

    Waffle King, in the US, was also started by MBA students.

    Great story. At first I thought the frog had a bucktooth sticking out of his mouth

    I thought it was a bucktooth too, Nerissa! LOL!
    Graet idea for a pub!

    Blondetown, you know, sometimes if you kiss a prince, he ends up being a frog!

    Michael: LOL! We could make endless play on words with that one ;-)

    Haxo: My goodness, you're a regular encyclopedia!

    This frog thingy looks like a good hang-out. Sorry I missed it! Maybe next time. :)

    That's a cool place for watching a soccer game - great atmosphere. They found nice play on words for the beer brewered indoor - The In-Seine, Natual blonde, Frogärden. However these beers doesn't taste good, I think.
