I'm a fan of speakeasies and Mexican restaurants, and have been reading a lot about Candelaria in Paris.

I'm a little wary that it might be too touristy. It had been deemed one of the world's best bars for many years, so I was looking for input.

This what I gathered so far from the online reviews ...

The Positive: Great atmosphere, tasty drinks and fun events like their Day of the Dead celebration.

The Negatives: Hot, crowded, and expensive -- with an occasional hint of rudeness.

My thinking is that this is Paris, and that the positive outweighs the negatives, but would love to get your thoughts.

Also if you have any other good Paris tips, I'd love to hear them.

Tx!
