The Clown Bar is a bistro at 114 Rue Amelot in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. It has been classed as a monument historique since 1995.[1]
Founded in 1902, it is situated two doors from the Cirque d'hiver at number 110. The bar has a frieze of ceramic panels showing clowns, put together in the 1920s by a factory in Sarreguemines.[2]
Joe Vitte was the fifth owner of the establishment, for over 20 years.[3][4] In 2014, Sven Chartier and Ewen Lemoigne, already owners of Saturne in the 2nd arrondissement, acquired the bistro and hired the Japanese chef Sota Atsumi.[5]
