The best cocktail bars Toulouse

The Agency. Blue sign and window display where some photos invite you to discover destinations that could make you dream. The journey has just begun. You push the back door and... Surprise! A refined tripot, Art Deco, with intimate and hushed spaces... you plunge into the time of Prohibition in a clandestine bar of the Roaring Twenties! The magic happens right away. Laos, Peru, Jordan... we travel from one cocktail to another (new and daring ones). At the helm, the enchanting Johanna. Behind the bar, a world cuisine held by Matthieu. Because you can also dine and savor cocktail dishes in this agency which has everything to seduce you.

Twenty-five years already that Toulousan night owls have been pushing open the door of this cosy bar. Comfortable armchairs around small tables in the sobritish lounge upstairs, a large sofa facing the beautiful fireplace that made the place famous on the first floor, subdued lighting, soulful, groovy music, brick walls, floral murals... In short, a decor that makes you feel right at home! To drink: creative, carefully-crafted, seasonal cocktails and a fine selection of natural wines to discover. To eat: tapas with a focus on quality. On the terrace, between the red ochre façade and the planted window boxes, there's a whiff of vacation...

The Monkey Hour has struck. Time to sip your favorite cocktail. Which will it be? The Mysterious Milk Punch or Marius est marié? If you're not familiar with it, let Nicolas guide you, as he never tires of shaking his shaker behind the counter... or carving ice cubes into original shapes. You'll love the cheerful atmosphere, the colorful decor and the cool little terrace. If you're a people person, you won't be disappointed! The program is both eclectic and accessible. Different evenings are organized with DJs on the decks. If you're feeling blue or depressed, you'll soon be pressed, infused, mixed and... liquidated!

A staple of Toulouse parties, the Fat Cat is a benchmark. Step through the door and you've just stepped back into the 20s. In this sophisticated, jazzy bar, cocktails are not taken lightly. The house regularly competes for the best cocktail award with some rather original recipes. How about a vodka infused with Japanese herbs served in an oyster shell? Wednesday evenings are piano-bar evenings. Cozy armchairs, delicious cocktails, pleasant company and music in the air: Fat is bath!

Mercure Saint-Georges revives the tradition of hotel bars. The Mahogany Club is open to all. At the counter, Mady and her shakers prepare no fewer than thirty cocktails to order, including many exclusive creations. Try L'art Madygnac: armagnac, apricot liqueur, peach juice and milk foam. Something new and 100% local. Or the more exotic Chili Litchee Martini: vodka, soho, Laotian chili, litchee purée! The clever icing on the cocktail cake: when the weather's nice, you can enjoy it on the terrace beside a swim lane!
