The cosmopolitan, young-and-beautiful set is lately eschewing the hit-or-miss vagaries of street-side bars and clubs, trending instead toward the manicured, consistently curated nightlife afforded by hip, semi-luxury hotels.

Mama Shelter takes advantage of these shifting preferences, offering pleasure-seekers late nights libations, live music and DJs, as well as cute, personal-sized pizzas to complement its fine selection of cocktails. With top-notch entertainment as various as disc jockeys spinning French hip-hop and American blues-and-funk, to cabaret-styled performances and old-school live jazz, Mama Shelter’s Chic Chic Bar easily lives up to the hype.
