La Fée Torchette is one of the city's emblematic bars. Behind this poetic name hides a mecca of Rouen's nightlife. In a small room, the "fée-tardards" crowd at the counter to order all sorts of cocktails, since they are the ones who make the place famous!

Created by Pierre-Cyrille Acquier, "La Verrière" is a cocktail bar and tea room. Under the glass roof of the sumptuous Palais Bénédictine, sit on one of the benches surrounding a central island, itself topped by a golden chandelier. The place, whose raison d'être is the famous liqueur, invites you to a unique gustatory experience of cocktails and drinks based on Bénédictine, to be accompanied by delicacies or an aperitif board. We like the Bénédictine Café with whipped cream, a little strong but delicious! A must-try!

On five levels, the Vicomté includes a bar, a club, a restaurant, a lounge and a seminar area, each on a different floor. It is a trendy and sophisticated place to gather the youth of Rouen around a drink, a pool table or a dinner, in a rather contemporary decor. The plus of the place, a new cocktail to be discovered every week. For the festive side, Le Vicomté organizes concerts or DJ evenings: spring party, St. Patrick's Day party, disco, hip-hop, soul, rock... you will find the program on the Facebook page.

Marc and his cocktail musketeers await you in the Old Market. The menu features classics as well as exotic and fruity creations.

Welcome to Brazil! On his return from South America, the owner, John Tranchard, created Casa das Batidas: an eco-responsible cocktail bar, the first in France. The decor was found in a vintage shop and the owner has introduced "zero waste". The cocktails, based on caipirinha and batidas, drinks made from mixed fruits, are served in large biodegradable and returnable cups. A festive place, bright and decorated like a Caribbean counter, to try!

At this address, there's no time for boredom! After several name changes, Sauvage is the latest. Despite the metamorphosis, the originality, quality of the menu and ambiance we love are still there. The decor focuses on raw, "wild" materials (grrr...). On summer evenings, take advantage of the terrace and relax with a drink or cocktail. Owners Clément Ramakers and his partner Aurore Morel also run a restaurant, with occasional exotictouches. Worth a visit!

Don't forget this address! In homage to the Beach Boys song featured in the film Cocktail, the Kokomo (without Tom Cruise, of course!) offers a long list of recipes for the aforementioned beverages!

And if you're feeling peckish, there's a selection of appetizers to satisfy even the hungriest of appetites!

A quick pause in front of the angel wings in the starter before leaving, and that's it!
