The best cocktail bars Pays De La Loire

L'Équipage is a lively place to be right from the morning, at the foot of the beach. We love it for its warm welcome and top-notch service, its terrace overlooking the ocean, and its low prices! The bar is bright and warm, and the menu is excellent: wines by the glass, several draught beers, but the speciality remains rum, with a wide range of ti-punches and cocktails. Accompanying the menu are home-made accras and samoussas, and tapas (home-made rillettes and terrines, cheeses...). After the beach, an ice cream or crêpe break. A sports fan, David offers sports broadcasts on the big screen.

On the outskirts of Old Mans, this family-run bar is run by a dynamic brother/sister duo, Antoine and Carla. Whether you choose to sit in the upstairs space, decorated in the style ofAlice in Wonderland, or opt for the covered terrace, a warm welcome is guaranteed. The menu offers a wide variety of cocktails, including the weekly creation of mixologist Pierre. For those with a small appetite, there are platters, burgers (vegetarian or classic), or a generous platter of fries, all prepared in-house by Élise, in charge of the bar kitchen. It's sure to be an enjoyable experience!

Come aboard the barge for a moment full of sweets at Quai West. This after-hours bar and restaurant is ideally located for a unique dining experience. Choose where you'd like to admire the view of the Loire River: indoors or on the terrace, then let yourself be tempted by a drink or the chef's delicious cuisine for your afterwork evenings. A cuisine full of sensibility and respect for the rhythm of the seasons. Choose a generous gourmet platter to enhance your drink. Choose the Plateau West for its Gua Bao porchetta and grilled chorizo pea mousse conchiglionis, or the Plateau Quai with sea bream gravlax and stuffed piquillos. The hardest part is choosing. This is your chance to come back!

We love this bar with its early 19th century seaside architecture, located at the foot of the Grande-Plage, offering a view over the ocean. A highly coveted location! As soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, you'll have to elbow your way out onto the pretty terrace with its wooden pallet furniture, as the crowds flock to this trendy place. Inside, stone walls, wooden framework and salvaged furniture make for a warm atmosphere, especially when accompanied by friends over cocktails and an aperitif board during one of the concerts.

A true mixology enthusiast, Laurent (the owner), trained by one of the world's most renowned French masters, welcomes you to his bar, where two different atmospheres reign. The Cuban-inspired decor on the first floor transports you into a warm, colorful ambience. The space, Latin rhythms, house-arranged rums and non-alcoholic cocktails will give you a unique experience on the revolutionary island. Take the spiral staircase upstairs and you'll find yourself back in Chicago, in the Prohibition atmosphere of the 1920s-1930s. Cosy leather sofas and retro music welcome you like the speakeasy bars of Chicago's nicer neighborhoods. You'll find Cosa Nostra godfathers and an exact replica of the famous Thomson Tommy Gun. Cocktails, shooters, gin, vodka and whisky from all over the world are served with elegance. If you'd like to learn how to make your own cocktails, there are workshops every Friday, where you can try your hand at three different cocktails. You can also book a private room on Monday and Tuesday evenings. This Old Mans establishment is well worth a visit for the originality of its cocktails and its decor!

Located on Avenue de la Mer, L'Alambic is a bar and a discotheque, and also offers catering. You come here for the good atmosphere and the parties regularly organized during the season: concerts, animations, DJ, salsa evenings... The cocktails of the barmaids have a good reputation like the Sex on the Beach or the Mojito which in addition to its traditional recipe, offers a variety of flavors. A vast place that gathers 3 spaces and which, even if it has changed owners several times, is undoubtedly one of the oldest bars of the resort

Why choose Reynette? Because it's Reynaud's bar, of course! This place perfectly reflects his personality: dynamic, welcoming and creative. You'll find cocktails as delicious as they are visually appealing, often enhanced by a distinctive floral touch. To accompany your drink, aperitif boards or extra-cheese croque-monsieur are available.

In front of the casino stands a large glass building offering a light bath to the numerous customers who frequent L'Octave, a wine bar and a cellar. The place is classy and warm, it has 3 terraces and looks like the favorite bar in La Faute-sur-Mer.

Opposite the pier that leads you to the island of Yeu, a cosy place, which in addition to offering a bar menu is part of an eco-responsible approach to eating good and healthy. On the bar side, we take out the mixology card for cocktails, for soft drinks, we note a Community cola or an Orangina house. Au Bout du Monde looks like a nice Parisian brasserie and it is also visible in the menu which displays tartar with home-made fries, burgers, big salads, Buddha bowls, fish ceviche, without forgetting the brunch on Sundays.
