V AND B

V&B combines wine and beer in a single location. The motto is: "Here, beer democratizes wine and wine ennobles beer". And it's true that the idea is a big hit. Conviviality is the watchword of this concept (whose first store opened in 2001 in Château-Gontier in the Mayenne region of France). And in Poitiers, it's working like a charm! One of the city's best value beer bars, V&B offers a wide selection, with over 350 beers from Germany, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Poland, Australia... The wine cellar offers references from all over France, Chile, Argentina and Australia, and for those who are not yet satisfied, V&B offers spirits including whiskies, rums, cognacs and vodkas... The terrace allows customers to meet in groups. The establishment allows "cellar" customers to taste what they're not sure about buying, and allows "bar" customers to leave with a bottle of what they've just tasted... The tasting area is part of the store's décor, a place where life is good. An after-work Irish-style pub, as some call it. What do the people want?
