Fun and entertainment Angers

A bar well known by the Angevins who crowd in all seasons, inside as well as on the terrace, even by bad weather! It is necessary to say that the resolutely rock music agrees with wonder with the many artisanal beers served in these places (of which the "wooden leg" with 8°), and which one can find in the other establishment held by the owner: the store of beers Crafts Beer Shop street St Laud. On the walls, nothing but wood giving the appearance of stones or bricks. The Donald's pub also offers blind tests, aperitif concerts and DJs - Red Pants and Black suits! - who regularly come to set the mood.

We can never thank Vincent Salvat, the former owner of T'es Rock Coco, enough for having had the idea to open in 2015 this magnificent guinguette which was cruelly missing on the banks of the Maine! From April to September, this large bar all in wood and its beautiful terrace offer not only a magnificent view of the left bank of the city but also everything you can dream of in the beautiful days in such a place: a restaurant part at lunchtime (new since summer 2017), based on fresh and local products, snacking in the evening (tapas, homemade fries, plates of cold cuts or cheese...), there is also a vegetarian formula. The most, the numerous events going from concerts, to electro parties and even dances! There is something for all tastes and all ages. This establishment has become a must in Angers as soon as the first rays of sunshine arrive. If you are looking for a heterogeneous place where the atmosphere is bucolic, you are at the right place. Note that on the bar side, each glass is consigned, in order to make everyone responsible. By the way, what do we drink at the Heron? Fruit juices, sodas, but also excellent organic and (or) local wines as well as Belgian, Breton, German beers... Finally, on Sundays, what could be better for the party-goers of the day before than a brunch formula until 3pm!

Laurent and Jade have teamed up to open this new wine bar, very clean, with a slightly industrial style, with its large exposed pipes, concrete wall and raw wood cuts. The slate wall gives the place a more authentic character, especially since coins are cleverly stuck there (apparently, a tradition on the banks of the Loire: a falling piece is an alert because the ground is too loose). Speaking of floors, take a look in the middle of the room: a transparent slab allows you to see the cellar. And there are bottles, from all over the world, except for rosé, which is often the unloved wine bar! Our two bosses are fine connoisseurs, do not hesitate, therefore, to let themselves be advised, they master grape varieties and appellations at their fingertips.

One of France's finest arthouse cinemas! With 7 screens housed in two buildings facing each other on both sides of rue Jeanne-Moreau, the cinema's programming is extremely rich. We don't rely on blockbusters to fill up our audiences. Foreign films are shown in subtitled V.O., and previews with actors and filmmakers are numerous, as are retrospectives and thematic cycles ("Cult Plans", Spanish, Italian, German, English-language film weeks...).

This essential place of the Angevin cultural heritage celebrated in 2021 its 150 years. An Italian-style theater, topped by a dome painted by Jules-Eugène Lenepveu, with a vast auditorium seating 728. One comes here to attend classical music concerts but also classical and modern opera. There are also readings, one-man and one-woman shows, as well as comic and dramatic plays. Finally, note that exhibitions are also organized all year round on the first floor.

The Joker's Pub is (we take a deep breath): a formidable panel of rock stars on the wall, cocktails and shooters in the spirit of the place (the Mano Negra, the Nirvana...), a large selection of beers often renewed, a nice choice of wines, a nice boss and waiters, a coveted terrace, a joyful and heterogeneous clientele, a back room hosting the best of rock, punk, hip-hop, folk, electro, but also short films or improvisation theater, without forgetting the broadcasting of matches on a giant screen... It's pulsating!

This place is a must during the summer season. Located on the banks of the Maine river, the view is magnificent: on one side the river and the castle, on the other side the Verdun bridge by which to reach the city. A warm atmosphere and impeccable service await you, with friends or family. Whether you choose a local wine, an exotic cocktail or a Viennese coffee, the quality is there. Numerous events (concerts, animations...) are also organized during the summer. The perfect place, finally, to taste the softness of Anjou!

Set in a magnificent late ^17th-century mansion with a stone staircase, you'll enjoy a moment of relaxation, seated comfortably in one of the welcoming, beautifully decorated rooms or, in fine weather, on the terrace. On the menu, you'll find a range of cocktails, including the Mai Tai or the Ron con Barba, subtle variations on amber rum; a selection of colorful mojitos and mocktails, as well as a fine wine list and draught beers, all accompanied by generous aperitif boards.

To all teleworkers looking for a peaceful, inspiring place with wifi: this specialty café, one of the few in town, is for you. Here, the petit noir is chosen and enjoyed like a fine wine, depending on its origin, roasting and extraction method. It's the perfect accompaniment to a decadent chocolate chip scone or a delicious cinnamon brioche. Café Cardinal also offers a fine selection of teas, chocolates and cold drinks.

You are a time agent tasked with unearthing clues scattered across different eras in order to capture a dangerous criminal. This theme is the common thread running through this chain, which is present in 12 towns across France. At Escape Time Angers, groups of 3 to 8 people can explore three different worlds. Super alpha world; an arcade in 1987, the hawthorn sisters' manor house, an eerie place in 1928, and mission Tokyo, in the Yakuza district... all come together for a superb adventure... in time.

Adjacent to the family bakery-pastry shop in the rue Saumuroise, Charlotte had the good idea to open this space that is both a tea room and a snack bar. A large and bright room with, at the back, a more cosy part, where you can taste at very low prices the pastries and pastries of the house, but also sandwiches, mixed salads, quiches, burgers, wraps or small hot dishes. For dessert, you can treat yourself to a chocolate mousse, a crémet d'Anjou or a fruit salad. Finally, on Saturday mornings, the place proposes a copious brunch.

"What's first?" The puzzle among board games is to know which game you will beat your friends and family in first. Here, no less than 150 references of board games, from the great classics to the little nuggets, are waiting for you. To hope to win your games punctuated by laughter, strategies or cheating (we see you), gourmet plates, beers, cocktails with or without alcohol and hot drinks will be your best allies. Appealing to young and old alike, this concept guarantees you a good time.

Half-zebra, half giraffe, okapi is an endangered animal, like this atypical bar. Famous for its dry shooters card and burst, which envious the night-old Angevine youth, it has two rooms: one (blue and red, all mosaics and vintage benches) at the top where merry drains are gathered for a drink, and the other in the vaulted cellar with a second bar and colorful stools for lovers of acoustic concerts and DJ evenings. It's a place of connoisseurs, don't expect to see anyone. People come here to find their friends at the closing of the other bars, share a glass by resurrecting the world, around shooters with evocative names: Kamikaze, Orgasm, Monkey Brain… Music evenings are inspired by rock and house/techno. We will regret that the bar is so noisy when it meets…

For fun in the city centre around a bowling alley, billiards or a game of darts, head for the Coliseum. This former cinema has a bar, free wi-fi and a mezzanine for your fun afternoons and evenings. You won't see time pass thanks to a controlled atmosphere (well-dosed light and music) and a warm welcome. Did you know, indeed, that if you make a good score, you can win a cocktail? A world open to everyone that also organizes your children's birthdays and your company's parties.

What a charm! This Boudoir is a good thing. engouffrez yourself in this small passage from the rue d'Alsace, and discover this original café hidden at the bottom of a courtyard… The card, if it does not exceed references, offers some raw products (Aubance, Saumur Gross, etc.). We share with friends or colleagues a glass or a meal on the thumb. The terrace, surrounded by beautiful vegetation, offers 30 seats in the shade. French music as much as possible, privatisables evenings on the floor possibly, customers of the visitors, we are here a little like Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The croissants of breakfast in the millésimées sardines, the delicious hot chocolate of the taste, or the sweet salami and toast of the drink, every moment is charming. It talks, it laughs— it's savour, we meet it, it's found, far from the tumult and for the expected reunion of after work. A real boudoir, what!

La Cour's strong point? Well... its courtyard, of course! Sheltered and planted, it's a real haven of tranquillity! The rest of the place, which also serves as a restaurant and weekend brunch, also stands out from the hustle and bustle of the noisier bars on Rue Saint-Laud. The clientele? Mostly thirty-somethings and forty-somethings, who come to enjoy an afterwork in a tastefully decorated setting, with a discreet musical backdrop. The menu features a dozen draught beers, plus an honest selection of wines and cocktails.

There are two ways to know and go to V & B. The first is to make a jump to buy beer in anticipation of the next soccer match, or rent a pump for the weekend. The V & B'drop-off'sort of. And then there is the 2nd way to come here: that of the time found, of the atmosphere tavern at the time of the aperitif, friends or family, sitting in front of a good sausage of the soil to cut yourself on a wooden board, take the time to choose a good bottle of wines among the hundreds present, for example the "discovery of the month", or "wine of the month of the month" or the Patron's suggestion, which is shared on large, user-friendly tables. You can go out of the beaten paths and start discovering these beers from abbeys, from the clearest to the most brown. Until the boss rings the closure bell. From this 2nd way of seeing things, we conclude that V & B is a place apart, in every sense of the word (because quite far from downtown, and that's so much better).

An ideal place to have a drink with friends or to eat while avoiding the hustle and bustle of the streets in the centre: set up opposite the entrance to the castle, at the foot of its towers, the elegance of the place is undeniable. This cheerful and creative bar offers a wide choice of cocktails: in addition to the classic Mojito and Piña Colada, the Claire Chazal (gin, sugar, lemon, ginger, strawberry), even if you don't understand its name, is delicious! As for the cuisine, it is generous and without fuss, just like the area it honours.

The Tonic's is an associative bar open to both girls and boys, although unisex evenings are organized most of the time. Here you can meet, organize outings and activities (hiking, picnic, tourist vistes, cocktail evenings, theme meals, etc.), in any case to escape from isolation and spend good moments. These are volunteers who hold the hotlines at the Lionnaise Street Bar, and The Tonic's is present on local waves thanks to the collaboration of Radio G (101.5), which gives it airtime. The association also offers outdoor activities (visit, barbecue, hiking, etc.).

An immense room - almost a station hall - where 8 French billiard and 2 snooker (3,80 m) are available in air-conditioned rooms day and night and every day of the week by club members (national). Free admission for beginners, courses and trainings for regional, national or international competitions. You can book the room for groups or business events. Calm and know-how are here, as in the ball circles, and we are serious about taking ourselves seriously.
