OK, that is damn cheap. Like, I didn't know there was any hotel as cheap in the 1000 miles around the city. Are you sure you will have even a bed in your room ?
So, just so you know, you are near the border of the city, in a place where, to my knowledge, no one lives, no one eats, and no one parties.
In the same avenue, you will find the metro line 8, which is damn slow, but can bring you in much more interesting places. (not that it matters, since you can take pretty much any line with one ticket, but it might be easier to find your way home if you don't have to change trains when you have had a few shots).
For example, at night, you can take it to the Strasbourg Saint Denis or Republique stations, where I suppose you will find more life, beer, and drunk assholes who will try to steal your wallet.
During the day, well, this is Paris and you are a tourist, so you have thousands of things to do and places to see, museums, gardens, streets to walk and marvel at things around you... It all depends on what you want to do. Just don't stay near your hotel, that's all I can say.
But yeah, if you could be more specific on what you are looking for... Museum ? classical art ? Modern ? photography ? Antiques ? Drink, dance, what music, what alcohol, are you broke..

Ok, let me elaborate: We're only going to stay that friday night at that hotel. On saturday we want to party all the night because we return in a train on sunday at 07:00, so we don't want to stay another night at a hotel.
So, saturday morning we're leaving that hotel and we're not returning to that place. I didn't know it was so far away from the center though. Double rooms with 2 separate beds for 58€ the night, each room with bath and shower. That's all I care for. The price has a huge discount, but there are other places with a similar price, just a little bit higher.
I've been to Paris many years ago, when I was a young lad, so I'm not interested in tourism. We're 10 people and I think that might be the case with almost everyone. We just wanna have some fun, after all we're pissed off that we'll go to Paris and not see X Japan, that was all we cared about. Maybe some of my friends want to go see museums etc, but I just wanted to know if there were any other interesting things to do beside that.
Knowing good places to have some drinks and dance would be cool. We're into many music styles so, if it's electronic or rock music it will be ok. I don't drink alcohol but my friends do, I wouldn't know what to ask about that... About money, I'm fine but my friends would like to spend as less as possible.
As I said, we're gonna go to that Tokyo Decadence event, which will last all the night so it's the best thing we have till we catch the train, I just wanted to know what else could we do Instead/in the meantime. Thanks for the replies so far!

Hello native French speakers. I have a burning question for you. What is your impression of Jean Claude Van Damme?
I recently read that he's known throughout the french speaking world for his "colorful aphorisms". Here's a select few (translated into english):
"When I walk across my living room from my chimney to my window, it takes me 10 seconds, but for a bird it takes one second, and for oxygen zero seconds!"
"I am fascinated by air. If you remove the air from the sky, all the birds would fall to the ground. And all the planes, too."
"Air is beautiful, yet you cannot see it. It's soft, yet you cannot touch it. Air is a little like my brain."
Here's a nice one relating to Street Fighter The Movie:
"Street Fighter was corny to me. But there were nice things. I got to see the land of Australia and had a mini-affair with Kylie Minogue. If you ever see her, say hello for me to Kylie."
His stance on violence:
"My last fight was more than 20 years ago. I'm not a fighter, I'm a lover. If somebody's going to speak bad about me, I will walk away. But if a guy like Steven Seagal slaps me once, I will slap him twice as hard. Life is full of violence."
Fact:
Jean was sued in 1989 for willfully gouging out the eye of an extra in a swordfight in the film Cyborg.

Yeah, I think that's one thing they can do for you there. The other option is sucking you dry, I think...
I've heard good things about La Locomotive, a classic amongst the classics I haven't had the chance to visit yet. It's pretty close to the famous Moulin Rouge, in a neighbourhood plenty of cabarets, sex-shops and cabin-show clubs. Plus, if you need some tobacco, there are lots of niggers selling it at cheap prices in the metro station (just follow the "Marulboro!! Marulboro!!" shouts)...
La Locomotive

90, Boulevard Clichy

That's everything I can do for you, I'm afraid...
