Quick answer: Rex Club is 18+ with ID and has no official dress code. Silencio is for members until midnight and opens to the public after that on programmed nights. Pachamama is the strictest: smart dress (no sneakers, no jeans), €20 in cash, and no groups of only guys.
Most "how to get into a Paris club" advice is guesswork. This page sticks to what the clubs themselves publish, plus a couple of well-known guides where the club says nothing. We checked everything on 11 November 2026.
Rex Club
Address: 5 boulevard Poissonnière, 2nd (Bonne Nouvelle, lines 8 and 9).
Age: 18+, and staff can ask for ID. Bring a passport, ID card or driving licence.
Dress code: none that the club publishes. Guides like Xceed describe it as not enforced.
Sound: a d&b audiotechnik system, one of the best in Paris, and since the 2023 renovation the DJ plays from a booth in the middle of the room. Cards are accepted.
The rule that matters: Rex's charter, on its website, says no racism, sexism, homophobia, lesbophobia, transphobia, harassment or intimidation, and respect for consent. If you see something, the club asks you to tell security.
Hours: nights usually run from around midnight to 7am. On Friday 13 November, MrD plays all night long from 23:59 to 07:00.
Silencio
Address: 142 rue Montmartre, 2nd (Bourse, line 3, or Grands Boulevards, lines 8 and 9). Closed Sundays and Mondays.
Before midnight: members and their guests only. Silencio started as a members' club, designed with David Lynch and named after the club in his film Mulholland Drive. Membership costs several hundred euros a year.
After midnight: open to the public, and there's no entry fee. The only test is the door. Paris's official tourism site describes free access from midnight, and Time Out warns you'll "have to look right to get in". Check the programme before you go: not every night opens to the public.
Our tip, from experience: come as a group with more girls than guys. Groups of only guys have the hardest time at this door. Dress like you made an effort, and keep your phone away inside.
Pachamama
The strictest door of the three. Plan your outfit and your group before you go.
Address: 46–48 rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, 12th, a few minutes from Bastille (lines 1, 5 and 8). The building is a listed historic monument, a former furniture store from 1907 (often credited to Gustave Eiffel, but the heritage register names architects Lesage and Miltgen). It used to be Barrio Latino.
Open: Thursday to Saturday. Dinner from 20:00, the club from 22:30 to 05:30. Closed Sunday to Wednesday.
Dress code: the club's own rule is "tenue correcte exigée", and it keeps the right to refuse entry. In our experience: dress nicely, no sneakers and no jeans, and most girls wear heels.
Your group: Pachamama asks for a balance of men and women at the door, and that's on its own website. A group of only guys won't get in. Our tip if you're mixed: bring more girls than guys.
€20 at the door, with one drink included. Bring cash, it's the safest. There are no presales and no guest list: you pay at the door. Special nights cost more (Halloween 2026 was €40).
The dinner trick: dinner at the restaurant includes club entry the same night, so there's no €20 and no queue at the club door. Book on TheFork; the set menu is from €55, and Friday and Saturday tables go up to 10 people. The dress code and the men/women balance still apply.
Age: no minors, even with an adult.
Tables: text the number on the club's practical-info page before 22:00 (up to 15 people).
Getting there and home: Bastille (lines 1 and 5) or Ledru-Rollin (line 8). Smokers: the smoking room is on the top floor. Taxis wait at Place de la Bastille when you leave.
Questions people ask
Is there a dress code at Rex Club?
No official one. The rules the club publishes are about behaviour: respect and consent.
Can anyone get into Silencio?
After midnight on programmed nights, yes, if the door lets you in. Before midnight it's members and their guests.
Can a group of guys get into Pachamama?
No. The club asks for a balance of men and women at the door, even if you've booked dinner. Come as a mixed group, ideally with more girls than guys.
