Description:
I don't think that the Polly Magoo is still open, but when it was, I would say that it was the quintessential Parisian dive bar. The wonderful thing about it was that it was right there, in the middle of town, in the center of the most expensive real estate in the country, overflowing until dawn with seedy drunks and marginal characters of all kinds.

Spending a night at the Polly Magoo was always a little bit like going on an anthropological journey. I once saw a woman in her early 50's do the splits in the middle of the place, right on the cigarette-butt-strewn and beer-washed floor.
