On sunny days, the place becomes a guinguette and we love to have a drink between two events.

Café Populaire has been around for three decades, and it's still the same friendly place, nestled between the Capucins and Place de la Victoire, where conviviality and good humor are the order of the day.

If there's one nightclub you need to know in La Rochelle, it's the Piano Pub. With its central island bar and Australian decor, it's a benchmark especially among La Rochelle's youth. Every evening, especially on Thursdays and Saturdays, the bar is packed with students looking for a crazy atmosphere, and they get it! The pop/rock music is in full swing and the small dance areas are packed. In fact, you can often see the tables being used as dancefloors by some of the revelers. When you come to the Piano, you know you're going to bump into old acquaintances, but you also know you're going to make new ones, because here we like to party even with strangers. Pitchers of beer and rum flow freely until the night owls leave. A word of advice, though, if you want to find seats: come early! Very quickly, the space runs out, making it difficult to move around, but that's what makes the Piano Pub so charming and atmospheric...

After the Saint John Bridge, by crossing the Deschamps quay, third street on the left. The Enseigne's (with a) spark of a beautiful blue night is just a few hundred metres away from the Saint John Bridge. A little historical reminder. The discotheque was resumed three years ago. Here is club, karaoke and retro dance. This is a quality karaoke, a disco for 25-45 years and a retro club every Thursday evening and Sunday after Noon. In the programme: Tea dancing on the rhythm of waltz, of tango… It's dj's Confetti who animates! The hotel welcomes great DJ's regularly. The vast room of 800 m 2 welcomes especially the singers and singers who are trying to charm themselves, and who after choosing consumption and song in a book prepared on each table, singent with (and sometimes technical) stars of the French or international variety.

In the heart of the city center, the Connemara is a "bar licence boîte" as its many regulars say! A veritable institution, this aspect definitely makes it an establishment like no other. In some ways it's just a bar, in others it's more like a nightclub. On the outside, it's easy to spot with its red-and-green-painted wooden facade; inside, it's all wood, like an authentic Irish pub, with an upstairs gallery running around the dance floor animated by a big screen. Here, good humor and conviviality are the order of the day, with or without whisky, beer and cocktails, as Connemara frequently organizes theme evenings.
