Exploring the world reviewing metal and rock bars, festivals, and more!
The first of the two bars I visited was Hellfest Corner – presumably associated with the metal festival of the same name. I was very taken with this place in particular, and this boosted my opinion of Paris greatly for one particular reason: they served food! Not only that, they served it at 10pm where…
