The best music and entertainment bars New Aquitaine

Housed in a large hangar on the Zone de la République, the Poitevin food court is on a roll, bringing together all ages and all publics: families, friends, colleagues. Under a garlanded sky, with its vintage decor, you can order a snack from one of the seven street food stands (burgers, tapas, wraps, crêpes... there's plenty to choose from!), pour yourself a beer from the giant 10-spout tapping machine, have fun, play games and dance. Every evening, a new event is proposed: sports, salsa classes, karaoke, dj sets... Republic Corner is the place to be!

In this gigantic bodega inspired by the Basque country, the charm begins as soon as you enter. We appreciate the assortment of charcuterie and tapas to whet our appetites: the southern sun shines on our plates! The chef also offers dishes to order at the bar: pasta à la carbonara or with two types of salmon, burgers and home fries... Live music starts at 9pm, followed by DJs from 11pm. The drinks menu features beers, a wide selection of wines, and cocktails with or without alcohol. Enjoy in the dining room or on the large terrace.

Practically under the Porte Saint-Jacques, at the end of Rue Vau-saint-Jacques, a troquet-pub-night bar where you can get away from it all on weekends. Le Coupe-Gorge, brewer of beer and music: concerts are organized every opening night; the program is announced well in advance on the storefront. The house brews its beverages by hand (using organic ingredients, as do the grapes). In summer, you can enjoy these nuggets on the terrace beside the Thouet river. Festive, convivial and warm, this address, housed in a sumptuously medieval setting, hits the nail on the head.

Le Baryton is an incredibly dynamic community café. Every weekend, concerts and performances in a wide variety of styles are on offer: jazz, rock, reggae, blues, tango and theater... The rich program allows local artists and amateurs to perform in excellent conditions. The walls of the Café Baryton are also transformed into an art gallery for photo and painting exhibitions. Reservations essential for dinner! Prices are unbeatable and the tasty meal is prepared and served by volunteers.

For almost 30 years, this atmospheric bar-restaurant on the beach at Nauzan has been serving up the unexpected. Popular with locals and tourists alike, it boasts an exotic setting. It's a popular address, as much for enjoying a fine meal by the pool as for sipping a cocktail. The atmosphere is relaxed, with casual service and simple cuisine, including wood-fired grills. Night owls make no mistake and return in droves to this happy place.

L'Antre II has earned its stripes as the place to have fun and enjoy yourself in Aire-sur-l'Adour. L'Antre II is not only a bar with a great atmosphere(afterwork, concerts and DJs, dance evenings, karaoke...), it's also a tasting bar with over 70 wines and champagnes and as many craft beers! When it comes to dining, L'Antre II offers light dishes, hearty meals, a duo platter to share, tapas made with fresh produce, aperitif platters and gourmet desserts. The menu changes with the seasons and the chef's inspirations.

Here, place music in all its forms, piano bar, concerts, open to musicians for "horse" but also karaoke every Thursday. On Friday, it's open stage and on Saturday the stage turns into a dance trail. A simple place where the atmosphere is really good. Arranged rums, like there, are to fall. An address that should become indispensable in Agen.

L'Envers du Bocal claims to be a plural place. And it is! Noé, Aurélien and Hélène, musician, visual artist and social worker, have created a new kind of bar-cannery to offer a convivial space for exchanging and tasting local canned goods. The place is decorated with salvaged furniture and diverted objects for a unique and original rendering with an exhibition room upstairs for the works of local artists. Numerous evenings of concerts, debates, traditional jams, readings, slams or improvisation matches are on the program.

Le Hangar is the Arcachon basin's food-court/ambient bar. We come here to eat, drink and have fun, but also to meet up with friends around a big table in a setting that's both convivial and indus'. At Le Hangar, local merchants offer a variety of specialties (sushi, pizza, charcuterie/cheese platters, oysters...). And if you're afraid of getting bored, there's plenty of entertainment on offer, including match broadcasts on giant screens. And above all, the fiesta with concerts, themed evenings and DJ sets in the second half of the evening!

What is more pleasant than sipping a cocktail on the background of Latin music? Maybe eat an ice while listening to jazz. Well in this cafe restaurant, you can do both, and much more. The "games" room is equipped with a pool, it will be set up on the terrace from the lovely days and in the pub area, you can drink a beer by believing in Ireland. Concerts are organized. And you can connect with Wi-Fi.

An iconoclastic place, which in the evening is a bar with musical ambience and catering, and which transforms over the course of the evening into a veritable discotheque, with subdued lighting and rising temperatures! Close to the Monciné complex, the Lasergame and the Jungle, the institution of the night, this "Food Drinks and Music" or "before and after" is a lively place, with its live concerts, themed cabaret evenings, karaoke... which complete the after-hours offer in Anglet.

Want to stop off at this bar? Keep your eyes peeled! It's located in a small street a stone's throw from the main square. Over the past year, the new owners have breathed new life into this well-known venue for young people in Oleron, without ever altering its character. New musical programming, concerts, temporary exhibitions and enlarged spaces... In summer, you can enjoy the sunshine on the new terrace and, of course, the attractive cocktail menu! Mojito, Kiss Me, Piña Colada and an extensive beer list.

Born in February 2023, the Durango Café opened its doors in place of the Imparfait - immemorial - with a singular and surprising proposal. Little brother of the Durango nightclub, nestled a little higher up, the bar is the place where to finish the day quietly and to get in the mood for the evening. Romain, the chef of the place, has imagined a listening bar where to meet with friends with good music (various styles with always a requirement of quality), good cocktails, local beers (brewed at the Europub), small boards... The decoration is singular and the terrace extremely pleasant! One of the new addresses not to be missed in Pau!

Open since June 2022, this new festive place has been imagined in a villa just a step from the center of Mérignac.

The goal: to make you feel at home! Jason Delalaire, manager of the establishment, has succeeded. This new unusual spot calls for relaxation in the summer with its chiliennes installed directly in the sand in Beach Club mode. In winter, the Villa Blanche is covered to continue to welcome you inside and outside.

On the program: thematic evenings, DJ sets, cocktails and tapas, enough to spend good evenings.

The Spot! Since February 2024, the whole of Niort has been buzzing about Café Flonflon, a bar-resto-guinguette-dancefloor with match broadcasts on the big screen. The decor is warm and inviting, the food and service impeccable, and the cocktails happy, prepared by a master in the field. And when it comes to evening entertainment, you can expect a DJ to keep the party going. The place brings people together, relaxes and entertains, in an industrial setting just a stone's throw from the water: why not join in?

It is a rare bird in the streets of Châtellerault. With this blackbird, you immediately feel at ease. We like to eat (at lunchtime), have a drink, a coffee, chat, play cards and especially celebrate! Sébastien has been able to gather a community of friends who get together over a good craft beer or a rum, his specialty. Here, all styles of music come together during the musical jam on the first Thursday of the month. Rocker, jazzman, night owl, come with your guitar, your voice or your keyboard and become the blackbird of the stage.
