The best lounge bars Lorraine

L'Astronome is the city's very first rooftop restaurant. The place is superb, all glass and wood, with sober lines, trendy fittings and chic, understated furnishings. For an evening, you'd think you were in one of the hottest spots in a European capital! The wine list is short, uncluttered, well thought-out and qualitative. You can easily nibble before a show, with a few tasty planks. The ambience rises to a crescendo with a carefully thought-out sound system. Outside, you can admire the Tour de l'Europe and the Temple Saint-Étienne.

Ideally located beneath the Conservatoire, it boasts a superb sunny terrace, which is very pleasant in summer. The interior is equally elegant. Thanks to a varied program of small concerts and events, you can come and discover artists while enjoying a drink. On the restaurant side, the challenge is to revisit the classics of local gastronomy, making them more fun and accessible. The chef concocts small Alsatian dishes to share, with a touch of world fusion and lots of love. Let yourself be tempted!

With a statue of the Swiss national hero on the front gable and a 300^m2 terrace on Mulhouse's most beautiful square, it's impossible to miss Le Guillaume Tell! Until very late in the evening, you can take advantage of the menu, which offers planchas and tapas to accompany aperitifs, and a fine choice of cocktails of all colors. This institution of Mulhouse life is now also that of nightlife, in a warm, intimate atmosphere with a very pleasant industrial decor.

La Barge is a barge that is now opening up attractive terraces on the Bassin de la Préfecture. This chic, lounge-style restaurant/nightclub/piano-bar welcomes you on the bow, on the quay or in the beautifully appointed hold. The whole place is modern, designer and transporting. It feels like you're out of town when you're outside, and in an intimate setting when you're inside. The menu is equally tempting, and the products fresh. Many companies choose this original setting for their events.

Welcome to this trendy and rather trendy lounge bar! The Diamonds is a cosy cocktail bar where you can either sit comfortably on the sofa in the white room or discover an artist, a singer or a musician performing in the very cosy decor of the main room. Whether you want to enjoy a sublime and delicious cocktail or savour a board of cold cuts and cheeses, you are sure to spend a very pleasant moment at the Diamonds.

The Amadeus stands out for the variety of its parties and the festive atmosphere that reigns there. One can thus come to make the party during the evenings karaoké, single, barbecue, 80' S..., as well as during the concerts. Some local or even national personalities sometimes come to play the microphone or the piano of this lounge bar, and DJs ready to set the fire animate the evenings of weekend when the Amadeus becomes night club. The decoration is simple but modern and the drinks menu offers a wide variety of cocktails. In summer, come and enjoy the terrace!

Located near the Cathedral of Metz, the Buddha Lounge opens its doors. Statuettes, precious wood, sifted light, soothing music: The refined charm of the Orient is restored, the lounge atmosphere is assured. The cocktail bar with its Buddha bar Paris is the meeting place of a trendy clientele, only to regret, the menu of cocktails that lack originality. We will have to be content with a Cosmopolitan, an Sex on the Beach or a Margarita and other cocktails that we already know. At the bottom, enter the temple of Buddha and enjoy a cuisine based on fusion of exotic and European flavours (flat around 15 €). Side desserts (between 7 € and 9 €), your taste buds will go to the match of fruit and its grout of mango or from melting black chocolate into white chocolate and coconut. Catering service until midnight. Proper dress required if you want to have a chance to return.

Brewery, at lunchtime, where you can enjoy delicious burgers, at night, the atmosphere is soothing and the Bootlegger Speakeasy becomes the place to be, the best place to party and dance to the wild sounds. Theme evenings are very popular with remnant partygoers, and it is easy to understand why! There is something for every taste and every desire, for example, on Tuesdays, do not hesitate to participate in the tasting workshops. Of course, as Reims is a land of champagne, you can taste some of the best wines at Bootlegger Speakeasy. Finally, it should be noted that the establishment was voted "best afterwork bar in France" at the end of 2018.

After Laurent Mathieu handed over the reins, the Nomad has remained unchanged. A trendy concept that's still going strong! The place is still as impressive as ever, with its mythical industrial bricks, its antique decor is sure to stir the emotions, and the street food still appeals to fans, even if it's not necessarily the menu that makes the place a success, but rather the alchemy of a clientele, a team and a place with a strong architectural character. The terrace is a summer spot in the heart of Mulhouse's Silicon Valley!

Rendezvous with a good board, accompanied by a glass of wine, a beer or even a cocktail.
