The best bars and cafés Dole

Here's a friendly "bistrot" in more ways than one. Enjoy a drink indoors or out on the terrace, savour a plate of local produce or admire the works of contemporary artists on display on the walls. Concerts and literary evenings punctuate the year. At the bar, you'll be offered natural and other wines, absinthes and well-chosen artisanal rums, as well as juices and syrups. It's a new place full of surprises. An address that's been missing in the Doloise region.

The "Terminus" was an institution between the old town hall and the station. Transformed into a pub, this place dedicated to the glory of "Trolls" will draw you into the universe of these mythological Nordic creatures. Starting with its beers... 95 references in bottles and 12 on draught. Frédéric Laval, the owner, sticks to the image of his favourite curious beings. Notice to the night owls fond of music, because the evenings with topics follow concerts. The refurbished kitchen allows you to extend the conviviality with "snacks" and pizzas cooked on a wood fire.

This former barge has been completely renovated and, weather permitting, offers a vast terrace with one of the finest views of old Dole. All year round, outside or in the air-conditioned hold, you can enjoy a drink, accompanied by pizzas, tarts flambées, bruschetta and planks. The owners are musicians, so concerts punctuate the year, as well as inviting other groups. It's the ideal place to spend a relaxing moment in the heart of the city. Not to be missed.
