The best whisky bars France

The D'Enfer Pub can take you to paradise... This is undoubtedly one of Grenoble's friendliest pubs. A pub with an old-fashioned atmosphere, with darts, table soccer and billiards. But it's the quality of the beer selection and the acoustic rock concerts that make this place so famous. The upstairs is a little low-ceilinged, but you can stay on the first floor to enjoy the warm ambience and share a pint, a terrible pitcher of planteur, cocktails or, better still, a pure malt whisky. It's the ideal place to privatize for a bachelor or bachelorette party. Good soundtrack.

The leitmotif is secrecy. Each Parisian address is "hidden", and you'll never tire of discovering its entrance and, above all, its interior, where the meticulous decoration reveals a sleek, trendy yet refined ambience. A delight for lovers of luxurious cocktails and spirits. These addresses are very popular with fashionable personalities, and it's not surprising to come across a fashionable starlet or a movie star. A must-try.

This majestic Grand Hôtel, facing the Atlantic, is a mecca for gastronomy, luxury hotels and elegance. While the spa, the hotel and its restaurants deserve our full attention, it's also in the lounge-bar that we're going to turn our attention, the Clipper. It's a cosy, British-style bar, with soft sofas when the weather's bad outside, or on one of the deckchairs overlooking the sea at sunset. Enjoy a plate of oysters, a platter of Basque charcuterie or a sweet from our pastry chef.

A new address in the old town centre that bourbon lovers have already adopted. On the charming Place Sadi-Carnot, you will love the cosy interior of this bar run by an Italian in love with La Ciotat. A la carte, renowned spirits, rum, gin and whisky. There is something for every taste. The place to have a drink with class without it becoming "have you seen me". Very nice wine list too, Italian of course and French. You can also enjoy a picnic with some nice homemade piadinas, a real delight!

Julian Gouverd, also manager of the Biz'tro next door, gives a nod to his history. His grandfather created the Javel Barbizier cleaning products company in Besançon in 1938. Subdued atmosphere, pastel decoration with a wall covered with polaroids of the year's parties. The magazine-style menu is extensive: excellent wines, whiskies, gins, mojitos. The Mocktails, tasty cocktails, intense and without alcohol, are to be tried! An amuse-bouche is offered, if you are still hungry, charcuterie boards, sandwiches, burgers and tapas are excellent snacks.

Located on the Grand'Place, this modern place gathers all the codes of an urban bar of the North: wooden furniture, steel and iron frames, and brick, of course! Everything is gathered to spend a convivial moment with friends: many beers, a rich wine list, a large choice of cocktails and boards for those who are a little hungry. The bar has a program according to the events of the year. Note that it is also one of the rare bars in the city to close late. Convenient to start and why not finish your evening!

From 1923 onwards, sailors and adventurers began to frequent this yacht club. The place is steeped in history and maritime tales, punctuated by the many Rum Routes. With its timeless decor, the legends of these explorers and privateers are displayed on the walls. In a leather armchair, with an arranged rum or a beer in hand, you'll feel like a great navigator. The place is popular in summer and during the Route du Rhum. Not to be missed.

Le 88, located on Place aux Herbes, is the city's hottest spot. Momo's good humor is contagious. He always has the right words and ideas to make the place as convivial as possible. A modern dining room, a young clientele, a very large terrace. On tables or barrels, you can enjoy hearty tapas such as camembert persillé or a foie gras plank, followed by pizza, a burger or a generous salmon tartare. The evenings are often enlivened by live music.

The establishment, now named Le Tudor, changed hands and decor at the end of 2016. If the cozy and friendly atmosphere of the pub is always present, white walls and black beams give brightness and cachet to the whole, especially during the day. You can sit in the bar, enjoy a seat in chairs or enjoy the benches, either to enjoy a glass of wine and some tapas in the evening or to eat on the thumb at noon. The slate is simple but effective: at noon, crabs, crow and salads; in the evening, tapas plates, meats and cheese. And the last Saturday of the month, you can enjoy a concert!

With its one hundred and fifty references of beers and its twenty-two pressure points, this establishment is a landmark for those who like foam and festive evenings. You will find in this unique place composed of a pub, a restaurant (the Raclet'terie) and a gaming room, all the atmosphere of the other side of the Channel, in a wood and steel decoration, in particular during the musical evenings: karaoke, concerts, but also retransmission of round ball game. The welcome and the service are warm, and the owners of the place always propose you new things.
