Where Can You Find a Sports Bar in Paris to Watch the NHL?
- Share
I've been in Paris for a while and was wondering if there are any bars where you can watch NHL hockey games. Most sports bars seem to focus on soccer or the NBA, and hockey rarely makes the screen.
I know the time difference doesn't help, but are there still Canadian pubs where it's possible to catch a game, even occasionally or upon request?
Paris has three Canadian-themed sports pubs. In each of them, the decor leaves no doubt: NHL jerseys on the walls, hockey memorabilia, and a clearly North American atmosphere.
The three must-visit spots
Watching hockey live
All of these venues are equipped with large screens and broadcast sports continuously thanks to professional sports channel subscriptions. In theory, that means watching NHL games in Paris is possible.
In practice, it's a bit more complicated. The time difference is a real challenge. For example, Paris is six hours ahead of Montreal: a Montreal Canadiens game starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Bell Centre kicks off at 1:30 a.m. here. That said, you can always ask the staff to put an NHL game on one of the screens.
In this context, The Moose remains the best option. Since it closes at 3 a.m., it's the most realistic choice for night owls hoping to watch an NHL game live.
As a bonus, you'll also find a Quebec classic there: poutine, which pairs perfectly with a hockey game. All three pubs are also among the best places to eat poutine in Paris.
