Is 11th arrondissement safe?
The neighborhood was safe. While we were there, there were protests every night at the Republique, but these were peaceful and of the “Occupy Wall Street” sentiment.

Is Bastille safe at night?
It’s a very safe area. Where exactly are you staying? Most of the night life is concentrated on to the left of the Opera Buidling (along Passage du Cheval Blanc, rue de Lappe, rue de la Roquette). It’s mostly small bars – not the fancy lounges and night clubs, but great places to have a beer and “bar hop”.
