The best bars and cafés Nièvre

A new bar with an innovative concept in the Nièvre, and which animates with happiness the commercial part of the street of the 13th line. Kevin Deridder (associated with Ivan Diligent), opened, after months of big works, this nice themed bar, between street art and vegetal. Animated by a splendid fresco executed by Keusty, the walls are also adorned with the floral compositions of Emmanuelle Fabre, florist in Nevers. Comfortable armchairs welcome you for a cocktail party with friends, but also a drink during the day! Let's meet ?

Café Charbon is a fixture on the Nevers cultural scene. It boasts two concert halls, with capacity for 500 and 200 people respectively, where contemporary music (rock, rap, electro, punk, etc.) always takes pride of place. In addition, a rehearsal studio (where the Tambours du Bronx used to rehearse) is also present in this beautiful venue, which is also an artists' residence. Last but not least, a foodtruck located in the forecourt of the concert hall offers a range of catering options on concert evenings.

Britons Anna Mac Queen and Charles Masters, who have lived in France for 25 years, have taken over the premises of a former bakery and turned it into a temple to cycling. At Café Vélo, you'll find both a catering area and cycling equipment. It's a trendy place, designed as a space for sharing around the theme of two wheels. Tearoom, brunch, home-cooked meals - everything here is English-style. What's more, 3 charming bedrooms and a loft are available above the café. We love this original, friendly place!

In place of the emblematic Musique and Music store, Camille and Erwan have opened, at the beginning of this year, a board game bar. A playful place if ever there was one, it's a concept that was really missing in the ducal city! With a cosy bar area where you can sip a cocktail or a hot drink, accompanied by boards of spreads, Ludique and Ludic invites all board game and atmosphere lovers to come and share a nice moment with friends or family. Young and old are welcome!

Since summer 2023, Kiboikoi has been inviting you to savory moments that are sure to delight epicureans. Frédéric's excellent wine bar is the perfect place for tastings, which can be paired with platters. In fine weather, the terrace and private courtyard are particularly appreciated. Entertainment and concerts are also regularly offered. In short, this is a fine address to discover at any time of day, and especially to start the evening, as the establishment is open until 9.30pm!

The Icosne Café is an essential part of life in Cosne, and lives up to its name! Ideally located at the heart of the city's life, the establishment's friendly atmosphere is a real draw. The cocooning decor blends with a "home from home" atmosphere, making this a place to relax and sip a coffee or orangeade. You'll love the terrace, which regularly hosts live music, as well as the karaoke evenings on Saturdays, and the infectious smile of Amy, the adorable owner. Atmosphere guaranteed!

La Goguette isn't just a café, it's an enchanted place where music and cuisine meet. In a bucolic setting, where musical notes soar from a welcoming stage, you can savor simple, seasonal, home-cooked cuisine, lovingly concocted by the team. The association that runs the place aims to make culture accessible to all. For a token €1, you can attend live concerts by talented artists, mostly French singers and composers. Open from May to mid-September, La Goguette is an invitation to relax and share.

It's a must for Nevers nightlife! The BBC has made a name for itself among night owls with a simple concept: B for Bar, B for Beer, and C for Concert! Three times a week, this nightclub hosts karaoke nights, concerts and jam sessions. All under the impetus of two friends, Fifi and Mitch, who have succeeded in creating a convivial place around music and good beer. The place has its fans. And so they should! How can you resist the warm ambience of these lively evenings in the heart of the city?

For six years now, this friendly bar-restaurant (aptly named!) has been the perfect place to stop off in the heart of downtown Nevers, just opposite the covered market. Here, at lunchtime and in the evening, you can dine on traditional, quality cuisine, or simply relax and enjoy a drink on the pleasant terrace, where the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. We also love the regular concert and theater evenings that liven up the neighborhood. We really like it!

A beautiful cellar where you can treat yourself to local wines, but not only. A restaurant offering a simple but tasty menu at lunchtime, with traditional dishes enjoyed on the sunny terrace in fine weather. A small bar with a warm atmosphere. It's hard to resist this friendly establishment! Don't hesitate to stop in when you're in this part of the Nivernais region. You won't regret it. And you'll get a good idea of the local spirit: bon vivant and epicurean!

With such a promising name, COM' Chez Nous knows how to be warm and friendly, offering generous and tasty cuisine. Not far from the small stage where the artists perform, you'll appreciate the authenticity of the dishes. Just a few suggestions from the menu: chavignol salad with Serrano ham, baked Mont d'or, homemade chocolate fondant, apple tarte Tatin. Several times a month, theme evenings with chefs from the four corners of the world. It's a great place to spend an evening in Charente!

Au Café Suspendu is one of those places that are springing up all over France, and which we at the Petit Futé really like. A cultural café that's a real place for sharing and conviviality. Always lively and vibrant, the establishment regularly hosts themed events (readings, games, slam evenings...) while, on the refreshment and catering side, you can enjoy lunch with daily specials, pastries and local drinks. A warm, bucolic place where you'll feel like you're in a bubble. Don't miss it!

Couleur Café is the kind of little address we love, especially when it's bursting with flavour! Located in the heart of the ducal town of Nevers, this coffee-shop has captured the hearts of the Nevers population! Guests can enjoy delicious coffees and other hot drinks, accompanied by homemade sweets. For lunch, a comforting dish of the day is also available. It's a real treat for the senses, which are awakened by the slightest scent, the slightest taste, the slightest crunchy bite. A very pleasant place!

In mid-December 2023, Florent Bardin, a winegrower from Verdigny (Cher), opened this pub which is already livening up Cosnois evenings. In a warm and friendly atmosphere, you'll find a wide selection of beers and wines from his estate (Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé). But that's not all! To accompany the tasting, charcuterie and cheese boards are also available. What's more, there's karaoke every Friday, and a pop rock concert one Saturday a month. No doubt about it, we love this new place!

At the end of 2023, David and Simon Gressot opened the doors of this cosy tearoom, which offers lunchtime catering with a unique daily special. An excellent Sunday brunch is also available (reservation required). Above all, you'll love the fantastic home-made pastries, all made with fresh, local ingredients. At Le Petit Futé, we've fallen for the orange meringue tart and the lemon-green tea and white chocolate pound cake. Not forgetting the Sachertorte with apricot jam. As for the welcome, it's top-notch!

The brewery Ô Lieu now has its own bistro where you can come and taste its craft beers accompanied by delicious local products. Beside his beers, Denis Lechopier also proposes local wines, softs from Franche-Comté and a pastis from Indre. The place invites you to relax and enjoy the bar in a very 1970s spirit, or rather in an intimate way, curled up in the velvet sofas. Plates of local charcuterie, vegetables and cheeses make the moment tasty. A new landmark not to be missed in the ducal city!
