The best beer bars France

Pub spirit in industrial style. Sitting on a recycled sofa or a high chair, facing a can serving as a table, enjoy home-made pizzas, cheese and charcuterie platters, artisanal and local ice creams accompanied by a glass of wine, a cocktail or La Vichyssoise, a beer brewed on site. See an exhibition or a concert. Enjoy an aperitif quiz or a match broadcast on one of the three giant screens. Happy hour. DJ on Thursdays. Halloween and Beaujolais Nouveau evenings. Great atmosphere. Dynamic team.

At V and B, you'll find over 400 references of beers, wines, champagnes and spirits (with a fine selection of rums and whiskies). Perfect for after-work parties (closes at 9pm).

Nice beer bar where, in a good mood, Cyril selects for you, every week, an atypical beer. Cervoise, IPA, pale ale, Christmas beer, beers from the Puy-de-Dômoise des Sagnes brewery. To accompany it, he proposes a pizza menu and three burrito recipes, leaving Clarisse to cook them at La Caverne just next door. To be enjoyed on the terrace in the passage, or to take away. Or with a game of Street Fighter or a waffle from Wof across the street. He plans to open the first floor of La Caverne to offer on-site catering.

Located between the La Pallice market and the Marcel Deflandre stadium, this bar is a well-known address. David, Patou and Philippe have created a place that combines conviviality and exchange.

An intriguing name and an intriguing story for an insider's address shared like a secret! Because La Planque is hidden behind a back door in Vieux-Lille, at the end of a corridor and in the basement...

A nice boutique in which you will find fishing and hunting clothing and accessories. Here hunters and fishermen will find all the equipment they need to prepare for their leisure or passion. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The fishing port is without doubt the quay which has the most bars in Sables-d'Olonne. Here, the Hispanic theme is displayed right from the name and you come here to have a drink with tapas to share with friends. The numerous and young customers take possession of the terrace on the quay, in any season and a merry atmosphere is distilled throughout the evening on good music. Bands of various musical styles regularly perform at La Bodega. Keep yourself informed of the dates of the concerts because the atmosphere is always great.

Clever address for this super-nice bar in old Tarascon. Very easy to park.

A small quality address, the Hoppy Gallery can become both your local wine shop that distills advice as well as passion, and your meeting point to discover beautiful brewery and wine nuggets. Inside, we discover a large choice of craft beers, beautiful bottles installed under vaults and tables that offer us the opportunity to settle down. We then sip a glass while sharing a small aperitif board in a friendly atmosphere. We can also be tempted by the spirits.

Situated on the edge of a charming square in the pedestrian center, a stone's throw from the Marne river, this bar and beer cellar is as much an opportunity to enjoy a convivial moment with friends as it is a place to rediscover beer, thanks in particular to its fine selections of craft beers from the region and beyond. Open almost every evening, you can see (and drink) Arpus, bière de Meaux, bières du Saule, bière du Cap d'Ona, Polygon and Piggy Brewing's famous beers, accompanied by a few savoury snacks.

It is easy to understand when you enter L'Echoppe that it is a place dedicated to beer. The wall of bottled beers that you meet when you arrive is a tangible proof; hop lovers, you will find your happiness here! The bartenders really know their stuff, offering over five beers, most of which are local and craft, on draft, as well as hundreds in bottles. If you don't like it, don't panic! Also on the menu are wines, softs, and particularly tasty arranged rums. A great festive address.

A unique concept combining a craft brewery, a bar area open onto the vats, with workshops and games! Caroline and Antoine create handcrafted, responsible organic beers!

A new brewery has set up shop on the banks of the Loing, offering a range of attractive local, artisanal beers. Production is concentrated on four cuvées: white, blonde, amber and Christmas beer. The organic production insists on respect for the terroir and artisanal methods, developing top-fermented, unfiltered and unpasteurized beers for maximum authenticity. The beers are then aged for six months in the cellar, to allow them to express their full aroma once on sale.

How about a good beer? A local beer, with plenty of choice! With friends, colleagues and company! What if this bar was mobile? A bar that travels to your place, to your event, party or wedding? The perfect idea is to hire the BièreT Nantes! In other words, a food truck, but here to keep the beer flowing, where you'll find several beakers with kegs carefully selected by Lise, the (smiling) manager of this mobile bar. A great idea! A number of companies, as well as brides and grooms, are already using her services. Towns and villages (where there aren't many bars) can hire this great truck. It's a great way of creating a social link and taking part in village festivities, but it's not the only one! Two options are available: you can rent the Bière Truck Nantes with Lise's service! She becomes the owner, much to our delight! Or rent the truck with kegs and serve yourself. Lise is there to help us choose our beers and soft drinks. She has many partnerships with the best brewers and microbreweries in Nantes! Here's to hops on the move!

A few chairs and high tables, a pretty bar, a slate of delicious homemade tapas (burrata, tartines, mixed or vegetarian platters) that change weekly: all the elements of a good evening are gathered in this little bar in the center of old Antibes. The atmosphere is relaxed, the manager attentive and the venue, a small vaulted cellar with stone walls, a warm decor with paintings and works of art on the walls. In short, it's a far cry from the usual crowded pubs and cafés, and that's exactly what we love about Frankette.

Formerly a Servoiserie, Yoann Guillemot's Le Fût percute opened its doors ten years ago. An afterwork bar and beer cellar (350 references on draught, bottle and can), the venue also lends itself delightfully to festive events: weekly quizzes and blind tests on Thursdays, karaoke every first Saturday of the month, occasional concerts and open stages, broadcasts of major sporting events on giant screens, it's great to have a frothy drink with friends in the Kerlann area. Plus: beer and cider taps for hire for all events, private and professional.

Nemours got off to a good start in 2024 with the opening of Zig-Zag. After more than 100 years without a brewery, the town needed a friendly place to meet after 7pm! And that's not all, as beer is also produced within its walls! Zig-Zag is already a favorite with locals. The friendly owners, Luis and Matthieu, know their stuff and are happy to advise newcomers. The à la carte menu features a wide selection of local produce, and the atmosphere is just the way we like it. A real favorite!

Piccadilly, the first Saint-Brieuc night club is located between the train station and the city centre. As its name suggests, the atmosphere here is that of an English pub, with an impressive selection of beers (30 varieties, 6 draught) as well as coffees, and an Anglo-Saxon atmosphere: decorations, Irish music. You can eat on the go in the trendy brasserie. The very pleasant place regularly programs concerts organized by the Badaboum association and subsidized by the general Council of Côtes-d'Armor and the municipality of Saint-Brieuc. You can mostly see emerging talents, but sometimes famous artists. Did Pauline Croze, Aldebert, Loïc Lantoine, Alexis HK have pass by this pub and were all satisfied.

You dreamed of a place where beer is brewed and ready to be tasted, where you can have lunch or share tapas during the aperitif and where you can buy beers from all over the world?

If they are to be tasted on the spot, they can also be served by the bottle and taken away. In the cellar, there are more than 300 references on the shelves, just waiting to be discovered. At lunchtime, the brasserie offers daily specials, sandwiches, salads... Beer lovers have found their HQ!

Here, you're the bartender! You're never better served than by yourself: in an electro-pop, indus' and large-table ambience, you top up your card "as you go" at the counter and pour the speciality of your choice. Fun and friendly, the spirit is already a good reason to come to Le Fût, but it goes without saying that the quality is also there. Béarn and beers, it's a love story: Babar au miel, Chouffe soleil acidulée et florale, Colomba fruitée, Triple secret des moines... You'll find an exceptional range of beers, both local and international (Scotland, England, USA...). To accompany them, the richness of the terroir offers charcuterie, cheeses and wines.

A new destiny for this vast 1,000 m² venue just off the Grands Boulevards: Brique Machine!

In the heart of the Recouvrance district, Le Grabuge is a story of friends. First, Maxime and Steven: friends in high school and now in their thirties, they set up this beer bar together in the walls of the former bistrot National, a neighborhood institution. Today, Le Grabuge has become a meeting place for friends, and it's impossible to spend an evening in Recou' without having a mug (or several, in moderation of course) from the excellent selection of craft beers. And don't worry, the name is more a nod to the neighborhood's reputation than a reality! You'll find a very cool atmosphere and a program of concerts, stand-up, improv and game broadcasts.

Dominique, Jacques and Mimoun welcome you to their beer bar. Here, you come for the beers, but you stay for the atmosphere!

Thursday is karaoke day, and live music is offered every Friday and Saturday. When the weather's fine, you can take advantage of the pleasant terrace. The place is very popular, and reservations are recommended to secure a table!

Want to take a break from shopping on the Rhuys peninsula? Located in the Z.A. de Kerollaire, this new beer bar has everything you could wish for.

To accompany your refreshments, the bar offers a few snacks to nibble on, such as planks, hot camemberts or sausages. And while you're waiting to be served, why not play a game of darts?

Last March, this craft brewery moved from Theix-Noyalo to the Kerveau business park in Questembert. The brewery offers a selection of 7 beers on permanent draught, and ephemeral beers on tap. Collaborations with other craft breweries will also be available at the Horizon bar and in the boutique. Holder of the Nature et progrès label, the brewery uses raw materials from Brittany: the cereals come from Saint-Avé and the hops from Morbihan. The recipes are even freely available!

It all starts with a love story, Charlotte, Loïc and beer! Our two lovebirds love travel, local produce and gastronomy. After a trip around the world and many discoveries, here they are in Ariège. Their concept is both ingenious and beneficial for the environment. The beers are brewed every week and sold on site. No bottles. You come and go with the growler, which is returned and provided by the house. Charlotte's cooking is healthy and based on organic or natural products. Lunch menu, tapas to taste in the evening.

A wine bar and beer cellar where you can share a platter of charcuterie, cheese or vegetables, l'Atelier d'Alex has been well established in the Cathedral district for several years. Take a trip to the Mediterranean coast with Italian and Spanish wines, or explore the Picardy region with the famous Picardilly, Page 24, or a beer brewed in the Oise region, L'Agent provocateur, by Craig Allan! And don't forget to try Dechelle Henri et Fille's champagne from the slopes of the Aisne. You can also come here to enjoy the friendly atmosphere, the unique decor, the advice and good humor of the team and the evening concerts.

We are warned, here we bet on the "green", the good, the local and the organic. On the menu, we appreciate the "Sélection amiénoise" of local beers as well as the "Petite blonde légère", brewed by the establishment. The cocktails are also not in rest. You can accompany your glass with a nice plate of local cheeses, cold cuts or seasonal vegetables. Special mention for the "Aperollot" formula where cheese, bread and beer are combined: ideal to celebrate life in Amiens and to have a great time with friends and good food!

Olivier Sweboda (also manager of the Pause Attitude in Saint-Malo) and Mélanie Faille are at the head of this wine and beer bar in Dinard which combines a friendly and family atmosphere with good products. The place is warm and ideal for after works and aperitifs with greedy friends. The planks of cold cuts and cheeses will accompany a nice selection of wines and beers proposed to the customers. The musical animations make the place unique and carry us all in a good general atmosphere. Not to be missed!
