The best cocktail bars Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur

Already revolutionary in Marseille with its underground cocktail bar concept, the Carry Nation collective has this time taken over the trees of Aubagne and more particularly the park of a castle, thus proposing to taste cocktails a few meters above the ground. The cocktails based on fresh fruits and herbs are in the spotlight with many creations. The plants used are grown on site. Unusual for sure. Nice eco-citizen approach. Reservations are required as the number of entries is limited.

It's the trendy little brother of Morrison's Pub. The atmosphere is different, but just as festive. As soon as happy hour arrives, make yourself comfortable on pretty barrels, sip your drink and let yourself be carried away by the electro and house rhythms that enliven this bar throughout the week. Here, the traditional pub gives way to an elegant, subdued atmosphere, orchestrated by live parties, quizzes and the resident DJ. As you can see, this is the ideal place to start your evening, and it's sure to be a memorable one.

A superb terrace facing the port allows you to observe the crowd of night owls in the area. Inside, the subdued atmosphere is conducive to confidences, especially since the establishment's clever cocktails have the gift of stimulating conversations! In summer, you'll be more likely to settle down on the terrace, which is as crowded and festive as you could wish. The clientele, essentially composed of thirty and forty year olds, has been meeting there for several years now. They are both regular Hyèrois as well as tourists on the go. One of the bars not to be missed in Hyères.

Set up on the Promenade des Anglais, this gin den is already attracting a clientele of regulars. London Dry, floral or aromatic, find no less than 150 gins from all over the world accompanied by more than 10 different tonics to be tasted with a plate of Pata Negra Puro de Bellota, a delight! An address that lacks neither pep nor creativity, to be visited without moderation!

Located in the old town, but far from the hustle and bustle of the tourist trade, this cocktail club is an invitation to calm and relaxation. As the team here so aptly sums up, here, palace bartenders offer their expertise in a street-side establishment! Although the decor is very cosy, in summer we especially appreciate the small square in front of which the tables are spread, and where we can enjoy a few tapas to accompany our cocktail.

Located very well in the Blackcurrant city center, this brasserie is well-known of Cassidains. You will be able to settle there, in room or terrace, at any time of day to take there the breakfast, the lunch, aperitif, the dinner, a frozen cut or an evening drink. In the dish, the new chef proposes delicious burgers, a fine selection of salads, meats and grilled fish but also of the more typical dishes like the jumped prawns and blazes with the pastis... Innovation in 2016, a variation of woks, to test! And the retransmission of the matches of the Euro 2016!

You are challenged to find something more atypical! In the middle of a commercial area, on the floor of a kitchen, the Eight Roof Top is a real good surprise. Perfectly laid out and planted with trees, nicely decorated by an artist from Toulon, this cocktail bar promises good moments of relaxation at the end of the day with, as a bonus, the sunset behind the Mont Faron!

Taking the place of Melting Pot, Vice Versa opened in late October 2022 in this corner of the Cours Julien, which comes alive at weekends.

You can also relax over a selection of beers, wines and soft drinks. When your legs start to itch, a small door opens and leads to a basement room where djs will keep you dancing until the end of the night.

Fancy a cocktail? Push the door, or sit on the terrace (depending on the season) of l'Heure bleue, THE cocktail bar of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Mojito, tequila sunrise, bramble, the young and trendy team that runs the establishment masters perfectly the mixtures to last until the end of the night! Mediterranean tapas and smoothies are also on the menu. Here's a little riddle: which cocktail is made of vodka, blue curaçao and fresh yellow lemon juice? the "Blue Hour" of course!

On more than 8 hectares, the area of the castle opens up new sensations. Built in the th century by Henri Saver, the founder of the training maritime company, the location seems to want to revive.

Fresh drinks, ice creams, cakes, but also ginger mojitos, limon vodka, gladiators fizz and other drinks that come into the formula coktail + transat. In the evening, it's in the trees that happens, where another cocktail bar makes you rise. Already quite intriguing last year with his Prohibitionist (Carry Nation) bar, Guillaume, is investing in a new summer 2012 concept. In the park, at night, you follow the colourful candlelight, raise your eyes to the sky and see this perched bar. Climb the secure steps and reach this luxurious cabin. The head in the parasols pines, well installed on the benches, you can enjoy a ginger beer, a beer without alcohol on site, small snackings, tapas to grignotter with your fingers. But caution if you feel dizzy or if the intention is to align alcoholic beverages, Pink Garlaban, electro-drink or old rums ambrés. You are 4 metres from the ground, it's about not losing the balance! Drink with moderation.
