The best cocktail bars Charente-Maritime

Just a stone's throw from the Old Port, this bar is a delight for anyone looking to sip a quality cocktail. Prepared by Nicolas, each one is carefully crafted to produce balanced, original drinks. You'll find both revisited classics, as well as creations to sip on in a decidedly pleasant setting and atmosphere, while nibbling on pretty aperitif boards, spreads (guacamole, tuna rillettes) and even homemade French fries. The best part? A smiling welcome and friendly service. There's no doubt about it, this is a place where you'll feel right at home!

This café offers one of the most pleasant terraces in Pontaillac. It enjoys a prime location in the heart of the magnificent Pontaillac district, just across from the beach and casino. It's a great opportunity to sit out on the terrace and enjoy the iodine-filled atmosphere, or to settle into a cosy banquette in the dining room. The view over the ocean makes you want to sample the seafood: fine oysters, special oysters, whelks and shrimps. With friends, enjoy a cocktail with a platter of cheeses or charcuterie.

La Terrasse is one of the rare bars in La Rochelle to make the dance floor vibrate to the sound of hip-hop and urban music. The advantage is that it is located in the city center and that the team is welcoming. Its large terrace (hence the name!) is crowded when the weather is nice, and its open-plan interior is the perfect place to party. Here, for the followers of this style, the music is good and it is not a coincidence if the dance floor is crowded even if it should be recognized that it is not very large.

A surprising place, to say the least! Located close to the market, this cocktail bar promises to be a real treat. We appreciate the warm welcome from Laura, always smiling and dynamic, and the setting, as atypical as it is magnificent. With friends, we come here to sip cocktails that are as pretty to look at as they are delicious! What's more, you can sit comfortably on the mezzanine. Let yourself be carried away by the friendly atmosphere and vintage decor, and discover cocktails that change with the seasons, while nibbling on a few dishes.

Set right in the heart of the Gallo-Roman city, this café-boutique offers an astonishing concept. Here, you can both browse for bargains and take a break while sipping a drink. The perfect opportunity after a stroll through the pedestrian streets to sit on the terrace for a drink, a snack and a view of the Charente river. Let Patrick and Claire guide you into this world, where you'll receive a warm welcome. You're sure to spend a convivial moment here, and perhaps even find the object of your dreams (furniture, lighting, mirrors...).

The name of this bar owes nothing to chance, it offers a simply magnificent setting. On sunny days, you can sit on the terrace in the heart of a lively street, but don't forget the room with its plant decoration and cosy little spaces. The menu offers many delights: rosé and white wines, champagnes, draught beers... But if many people come here, it is above all to sip famous cocktails, whose list changes with the seasons. Rum, tequila, gin, vodka... or without alcohol... the barman knows how to make everything!

To find this bar, head for the marina! Just a stone's throw from the ocean, the Floor is the ideal place to sip a drink with friends.

Mojitos, caipirinhas, spritzes, champagne and even non-alcoholic cocktails, there's something for everyone.
