The service here is top-of-the-range - which doesn't mean it's not convivial. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 5 p.m., the restaurant can be privatized for private events.

The particularity of the Riviera is not as long as it is a cocktail bar, but above all that it is a éphémère bar.

Ideally located on the market square, which has been closed to traffic since it was renovated, Why not immediately found its clientele. The large sunny terrace, furnished with comfortable wooden and rattan lounges, mismatched and equipped with plaids in winter, is ideal for relaxing with friends. With wines to discover and large platters of local produce, Alexis has created an atmosphere conducive to relaxation in the evening. One of the new favourite places for Dracen's parties.

A nice place created last year, next to the sailing school. Moments Café is a place where it is nice to rest with a hot drink while working, or to taste one of the smoothies on the small raised wooden terrace, in the heart of the dunes with a view on the Bouil beach. Next to the drinks, a gourmet or healthy cuisine, colorful, local and organic as much as possible, with suggestions of the moment: burgers with home fries, bowls, aperitif boards and a hearty brunch on Sunday mornings. A refreshing and cosy place!

Installed in front of the square, on the market, the terrace stretches in front of the gray facade allowing the customers to take their ease and invade the pedestrian street, and in particular during the concerts where the music can even push customers to dance in the street. The guest star is the beer! The particularity of this pub: you serve yourself and pay according to the quantity "drawn". Also many beers in bottle, but also cocktails, like the Cougar (and not "the"), as the humor is also of rigor in this pub where the good atmosphere reigns.

It's all about teamwork and using your brains! The principle is simple: locked in a room as part of a team of 3 to 6, you'll have sixty minutes to solve a series of enigmas to get out... You'll try to escape from zombies, dine aboard the Titanic ordelve into historical secrets, through various types of scenarios). One activity immerses you in 4D virtual immersion, with a vibrating floor beneath your feet. As a bonus, you can try your hand at axe-throwing. So here's to stress, anxiety and lots of fun!

From day to night, this site is simply fabulous. Rare and a soul that has gone through the years, there is a bit of magic that awaits you at the end of the tree tree tree. This road is already a journey alone and the buildings of the old thermal baths, 170 years old, are waiting with, in their hearts, a insolent modernism. Sheltered from poplars, in an exceptional park, there is indeed a cultural bar and a site where events turn the year. If musical programming is marked by the rock and electro scene, the French variety is also present and exhibits, be they photographs, ceramics, engravings or sculptures, are of beautiful quality. In three years, Luc, Alain and Federico transformed the Maska into a very important cultural place. The rooms and the terrace are splendid and a catering service is offered, ideal for not having to move! A traditional kitchen filled with plates, magret, conflict or homemade burger, from stage to table, we strongly recommend this address.

The time is long gone when the large Place du Barlet vibrated to the cries of the animal merchants and the girls of joy. Today, it vibrates to the rhythm of the national stage of Douai. Formerly a municipal circus, then a cultural action centre, the Hippodrome is now a place where you can come and enjoy the best of contemporary creation (theatre, music, dance, circus). But the Hippodrome hides another exceptional place, the Cinéma Paul Desmarets, where you can see a variety of films.

Twenty years ago, the Rio Grande Association invested this former Art and trial cinema in the Villebourbon district, near the train station. The cinema has become a showroom, with up to 800 spectators. It is the preferred place of dissemination of the so-called current music on the department, with both eclectic and coherent programming. But the association is also very dedicated to project support and the dissemination of young local talents, in partnership with all local cultural and cultural fabric.

This 800 m 2 room has nothing to envy the most famous cultural sites due to a rich season, proposed every year from November to April. In a modern setting, it can accommodate a little more than 900 people and thanks to the eclectic programming of the Mirande tourist office, they are every time taken over. Contemporary theatre or classic exhibits, grand galas of lyrical music, dance or international orchestras, opera, ballet, comical or dramatic: as long as the quality is at the meeting, the shows have a chance to enchant the places. Eight performances are usually organized, we love the spirit without frontiers that animates them and their selection. Do not hesitate to discover them on the city or EO website, they deserve a detour.

A cooperative, participatory and civic-minded café-cantine set up in the heart of the popular Bois-Blancs district. Since then, the place has continued to attract new enthusiasts.

The team is extremely friendly and knows how to share its joie de vivre. As well as a choice of local and craft beers, you can enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal made from fresh, seasonal produce.

Since June 2023, Delirium Café has taken the place of the emblematic Café des Jardins, a historic establishment in the center of Saint-Etienne. Inside, pink elephants embellish the setting. The emblem of the Delirium brand of Belgian beer, produced by the Huyghe brewery, is also visible. Romain wanted to put Belgian beer in the spotlight, so he offers some twenty drafts from the Belgian brewery, fourteen of which have never been tasted in Saint-Etienne. You can also relax on the pleasant terrace. And to accompany your drink, bruschettas and tapas are on offer!

Formerly a discotheque called Le Brummell, the Café des Sports offers a pleasant setting and tasty cuisine for a gourmet break between two tables of Casino. In a chic and relaxed atmosphere, where the ceiling still features the rose window that once marked the dance floor, you can enjoy a cocktail (with or without alcohol) at the circular counter overhung by interlaced rings and nibble on hearty dishes (salads, pastas, burgers...). A friendly address where the most important sports events are also broadcasted.

An oyster bar in the heart of the commercial port, with a magnificent view of the Abeille Bourbon, Brest's emblematic tugboat. Here you can enjoy local oysters (from Plougastel), but not only.

With its brick walls, grand piano and wine display case, the decor is well thought-out and you'll be in the best possible position to enjoy your drink, comfortably seated in a leather armchair facing the port. The wine list features carefully selected wines and delicious cocktails, the house specialties.

The Le Cadran Bar welcomes you all year long to enjoy coffee, beer or a glass of wine. This open place on the city is situated in the middle of the great place de la Résistance. The boss, Eric Girardot, resumed this case in 2007. After having proposed a small catering service for several years, he now refocused on the trade in drinks. His craft, he simply does it and the attention he brings to his clients makes the Dial a pleasant place where one feels good. The decoration reminds the English pubs with wallpaper that mimics the red brick and a wooden counter of the most classic. A pinball is at your disposal as well as a beautiful terrace with a dozen tables. At Châtillon-sur-Seine, the Dial is known from generation to generation and as in all the real bars, the atmosphere varies according to time.

Don't hesitate to ask him questions: this connoisseur always has great advice and anecdotes about his beverages, and he'll be able to guide you according to your tastes. Wines by the glass and tastings follow one another, so you'll need to nibble.

Behind the Maison Rouge shopping centre, in a street that doesn't look like much, in the place of a former hostess bar, is one of the most atypical and friendly bars in the city. Stuffed animals, snake skins nailed to the ceiling, dozens of insects, butterflies and spiders in frames, zebra-striped and hairy stools, decorated tables, cactuses, little games scattered everywhere... La Mandragore is a rare place, a real cabinet of curiosities, worthy of a mad 19th century explorer: from the decor to the soundtrack to the tattooed and pierced but deeply kind and patient waiters.

With a capacity of 1500 people, the Rooftop is an unmissable spot in the city of Marseille, shining even nationally and internationally ...

A 600^m2 arena to safely transport you for a dezing session. You're safe enough to falsely kill friends (who won't be anymore), children (who've been naughty), parents (who've confiscated your console) or even strangers, depending on the number of participants and the organization. Music, sound effects, a darkened room and beacons of light all add up to a guerrilla atmosphere. When the game's over, quench your thirst at the bar!

The Bareuzai cellar, recently taken over by the Charousset, has an ideal environment to allow its guests to take over the time of a lunch, pause for aperitif, or bring a large cru.

The areas, large and small, known or unknown, come together. To accompany your drink, count on the house to serve a cutoff and cheese board, or even a ice cut. The products that are served are local, from the charcuterie Vernet and the Hess cheese factory in Beaune. Possibility of privatization.

After only one visit to this bar, we sympathize fairly quickly with the "bistrotier": Alex. A true lover of friendly atmosphere among friends, he always receives a smile.

Whether in white or red, the Corner Bistro always offers suggestions to make you. The objective: surprise you and make you discover the true taste of the vine.

A charming tea room located in a pretty patio next to the new Rigaud museum. Teas on the menu, green, red, white, black, smoked or iced with subtle blends whose compositions I will not mention. If you prefer a coffee, don't worry, it would take too long to mention everything. You prefer chocolate, and how do you like it? Viennese, Liégeois, hot with spices or iced? In two words, P'tit Mailly is a pleasant place for a little break in the middle of the books available to customers.
