The best bars and cafés Midi-Pyrénées

Analog is the bar of Karen and Kévin, native Irish and Montpellier by adoption, who had one day the insane idea to brew their common passions: beer, music and cinema. You can imagine a classic beer pub, but it's not at all. Pretenses are played here, in a more rock'n roll and vintage atmosphere, with modern and offbeat style, sleeves of old vinyls on walls and cult film posters. The mismatched recovery furniture, the armchairs in old movie spirit, the candles in corpses of bottles make this place a unique bar, authentic, intimate and cordial. An analogy of beer is drawn here, happy hour until the early morning, with more than fourty different beverages: Barbar, Chimay, XX bitter, Cuvée des Trolls, Delirium, Hommelbier and Belle En Goguette (draught), Gouden Carolus, Jever and Schneiderweisse for p'tites allemandes or Brooklyn Laber, straight from the States. Analog attracts crowd, young and old people, all in connection around the same desire, conviviality. Thus, you should come early to find a place here, because the terrace fills quickly and no way to go hunting and lose your place there!

Salva and Steph, two boys with impeccable figure, but also with strong breadth and a kind of ZZ top look, welcome you at the Inglorious Bar with of course the rock as an argument. Do not think to annoy them! To start up the evening carefully, from 6 pm to 8 pm, happy hours in a friendly atmosphere: a good plan. From 9 pm, the purist rock regained their rights for a great pleasure of our ears: Led Zep, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Blues Rock, Rock Sudiste with no holds barred... and the good beers flow there in liters. The atmosphere is very nice, the customer too. One of the most popular places of the city! "Quiz" evenings are held regularly, and animated by the regulars of the bar. And as every Thursday, it is the Happy Night, the pint of blonde is at a very low price all evening, and the "Maison Close" group deals with a musical part (free concert) from 7:30pm...

A stone's throw from the Jacques-Coeur pond, this specialized address offers several hundred hopped references for sale and tasting. My Beers has quickly become the favorite outing address for local residents, attracting both beer lovers and the curious looking for a terrace to relax on. If the latter is a little noisy during the day because of its proximity to the Avenue de la Mer, it finds its calm when night falls, only animated by the conversations and the friendly atmosphere created by the references of the house. These laters are so numerous and obscure that you should not hesitate to ask the bartenders for advice, they will be excellent guides. The same goes for the cellar, which still contains more than 400 references of beer bottles, barrels, boxes and beer drawers.

In 2017, the team behind the famous Empanadas Club restaurant opened an adjoining space to offer Montpellier residents a cocktail bar and club. At Mosquito Latino, we eat Latino, drink Latino and dance to the wildest rhythms. As for the cocktail menu, we are delighted to see rare, even unique proposals. They are presented on a menu of Latin America and each country has its own cocktail. They are generally made using products that are emblematic of the place. As an example: Colombia is composed of aguardiente and the Chile contains pisco. Then, all that remains to do is to impress your loved ones with some inspired dance steps.

For those who do not have the courage or the chance to see the match or celebrate the last victory in Toulouse, here is a bar that bears particularly well its name… and which is very well located, close to the train station!

A restoration, with all kind of tapas, egg to a euro, slate of the local cheeses and six euros and delicious deserts like their famous cheesecake. The map evolves over the seasons and according to their desires, which will be yours too! Pop-rock music to accompany everything, and the trick is played!

Located in the city center, l'Echoppe des Galopins is a cellar specialized in beer, with more than 300 references. You can taste many of them on the spot, advised by the waiters specialists in the matter. The place also does catering at lunchtime, a simple and tasty brasserie. In the evening, you can taste planks of cold meats and cheeses while listening to a concert. Many games are at your disposal and the place also organizes animations around the beer. A nice address to discover the specificities of this drink.

Designed by a Parisian agency, which is also the home of the famous restaurant Petrus, the Café Square is an elegant, metallic and metallic atmosphere. Young Nîmois love to find it, despite the relative location of the places. Summer, everyone outside! The terrace is situated on the square between the Square house, the best preserved Gallo-Roman temple in the ancient world, and Carré d'Art, the daring cultural centre and media centre, with contemporary lines. A mineral place, summer heat, parasols are not too much and, even, not enough time for lunch. During the férias, difficult to cross this terrace, especially as the large concert scene often rises at the foot of the Roman monument. Not to mention the weekend DJ evenings. The prices of the drinks remain correct, as Café Carré is frequented by tourists, but also by the premises (coffee at 1,50 €, fruit juice or kir at 3 €).

Comptoir de l'Arc has arranged the tables of its terrace - heated in winter - on the most beautiful square of the Ecusson, place de la Canourgue, behind the former Palais de justice.

But at least, you are served late at night, which is rare in Montpellier, and the place is open on Sunday (copious brunch from 9am to 5pm) and also on Monday! The lunch set menus are tasty, change every day and it is solid. Become a must for Montpellier people, come and enjoy the atmosphere of Comptoir de l'Arc that has a good reputation.

There is nothing better to settle down and enjoy a bit of fresh air.

Salty or sweet, hot or cold: there is something for everyone!

At the Basque Bar, life is happy, especially at Happy Hour! Room, terrace and indoor garden never run out of space even when the snow softens the pink of the pink city.

If you have a sweet tooth, you'll find several delicious desserts and "tartines souvenirs d'enfance". You'll also find some very good organic sorbets, fresh drinks made by local artisans, and syrups.

Felix, a nice man and a jovial fellow. With his wide terrace with tables covered in red and white gingham tableclothes, his big blackboards on which we never know what to choose, his high wooden stools, inside, the messy decoration but so well done and his menu. The menu is full of good things to eat or to drink, his delicious cocktails, his tasty wines but not expensive and the kindness of the waiters, really, Felix is a very friendly guy!

The Morning Bar delights all the moments of a busy city day… From the opening, sit on the terrace for a very tight black and watch the news of the day on "ducks" available… In the afternoon, sip a fresh fruit juice for the break, before enjoying at the counter a cooked wine or a bière beer… This is one of the most pleasant terraces in Toulouse, very well located close to the many restaurants adjoining the square of the Carmelites and the rue des Filatiers… A quick service, friendly reception for this coffee as you love… All you have to do is find a table!

The Carbet d 'Oc is a very lively tapas bar located in the lively Carmes district.

With its large shaded terrace located just before entering the Héliopolis shopping mall, Le 1664 is a must. During the day or in the evening, it is always crowded and very often, concerts are offered. It is also here that you will have the possibility to follow the sports broadcasts. The other particularity of the 1664, is its incomparable card of alcohols which makes the pride of Zeus and Jean-Christophe.

Right across the street, there is a bowling alley and there is also a game of bowls in the evening, sometimes even until closing time. If you are hungry, next door you have the Bangkok, an excellent Thai restaurant and, a little further, the BBQ 16, specialist of barbecued meat.

Bistrot de Pays which has already celebrated its half-century of existence! The charisma and the involvement of the owner in the life of his village have made him a real local star and also an ambassador of the Conflent in the national press and TV.

We recommend the selection of coffees and teas, and for later in the day, the list of famous cocktails.

In this magical place, the shapes, the furniture, the colors, the setting and the scents blend together as in a dream. Tearoom, confectioner, chocolate maker, ice cream maker with 18 flavors but also restaurant and creperie, it is the den of all pleasures. In summer, pasta and salads accompany chicken or black pork, in winter a soup and buckwheat pancakes, including the famous ones with goat cheese, or black pudding and apples, enchant the gourmets.

The Irish Corner of Nîmes is behaving like a real Irish pub with inside, coated woodwork and thick carpet on the ground, beer and fish & chips - finally here we will say paved salmon with plancha and fries! Some nights, it's football or rugby, for the retransmission of memorable matches. Supporters come as a group in this pub to vibrate or cry together in unison of their team, eyes stretched on the giant screen. The rousse or brown beer flows. On weekends, free concert programming, especially pop-rock, is announced on the website. In short, something often happens at the Irish Corner.

You'll leave delighted by the good atmosphere here, with, as a bonus, a range of new expressions that promise to liven up your next evening!

The Galeries Gourmandes, a department store located in the heart of Bagnères-de-Luchon, is a must. We like the "rustic chic" setting and the friendly atmosphere of the first floor. We can meet to eat cheese and charcuterie plates, around a glass of wine (nice menu), or we can prefer to settle down on the second floor in a more lounge atmosphere and choose a dish from the menu: confit of pig's breast, very perfumed Mikado sea bream, razor clams or chipirons... Something to satisfy all palates!

Take the entire space of this great establishment, create event, animate techno house evenings, as in a real disco, not forgetting the restoration of midday and evening, this is the new challenge. Extensive program at the place of the place that deserves to be given prominence. Thursday evening evenings started. We saw famous djs from the players region, the Churascaia band, especially, show victims dancers and young people dancing. Not insignificant, the possibility of dinner before attacking the dancefloor, especially that the tapas card is tempting. In the evening, we choose à la carte: salads, grilled meat and fish, fresh pasta… whereas the lunch of the day at 9 € or the flat formula of day + dessert + dessert + coffee at 12 € are good bills. A good selection on the map of regional wines, the red wine of the Cevennes (organic Tornac wine growers) served as a pitcher or glass. Long life at KLS - not confused with the CKF of rue de l'Etoile!
