Hell themed cabaret in Paris..

Cabaret de L’Enfer was founded in 1892 at the foot of the hill of Montmartre, Paris.

The entrance was designed to be the gaping jaws of a Leviathan that devoured those that were damned to hell. As you entered the establishment, a doorman dressed as Satan would shout, "Enter and be damned!"

Once inside, customers would sit down at black tables, which were under a low ceiling that was plastered with snarling demons trying to claw at them.

After admiring the decor, you could flag down one of the waiters dressed as devils and order a drink or two with devilish names. For example, an order for "three black coffees spiked with cognac" was relayed to the bartender as "three seething bumpers of molten sins, with a dash of brimstone intensifier!"

Cabaret de L’Enfer was demolished in 1950 to make way for a Monoprix supermarket.

Cabaret du Chat noir, photographie de presse, Agence Rol, juin 1928.

Le cabaret Le Chat noir, à Montmartre, était l’un des hauts lieux artistiques de la fin du XIX° siècle. Il doit son nom à la découverte, sur son chantier, d’un petit chat noir abandonné.
