Paris Nightlife

Oh la la... the night life in Paris is a huge array of high class clubs, trendy clubs, random cafe bars, and a few dives in between.
Perhaps I've been experiencing too many of these places over the last month or so, which might indicate my lack of posting activity, but I prefer to think that I've been busy building my "social and professional" network.
A couple of lounges I've checked out that are "branche" (aka trendy) in Paris...
Le Magnifique - it doesn't open until 11pm - we arrived at 10:45pm and were the only ones in there... cute little lounge with booths that everyone dances on and in once they've had a few glasses of Moet. It kind of reminded me of China White in London. Drinks run around 15 euros + and be prepared to be denied at the door if you're not with women, or you arrive late without a reservation.
Check out Le Magnifique!
Kong - this is the epitome of Paris clubs b/c the bouncers decide who is "pretty" enough to actually enter. Kong is actually a restaurant and a club on two floors at Pont Neuf. The bar/club area was PACKED at midnight. The layout of the club makes it hard to get to a bar, move around and get upstairs to the washroom, and the vibe is different than Manifique - more trendy, less classy. We had an"encounter" with a group of men who kept buying my girlfriend champagne... we ended up dashing from the club very VERY quickly.
KONG...
CAB - this is a true club, with house music and a cover charge. It is off place du palais du louvre... 20 euro gets you in the door with a stiff drink. The venue is made up of multiple small rooms, with one large dance floor. Apparently it's a tourist destination for nightlife, but I felt like it's the type of place you can go with a large group of people and have a good time!
