Fun and entertainment Antibes

In old Antibes, the Balade en Provence boutique sells absinthe, pastis and regional gourmet products. In the basement, the vaulted cellar houses a unique absinthe bar with pewter furniture dating back to 1860. Here you can discover this drink, once the muse of artists, which the owner has brought back to life with 50 different absinthes à la carte and a unique collection of absinthe fountains, glasses, posters and antiques. Live piano bar evenings are organized at weekends, and the atmosphere is incredible!

Here's a hidden address, as smart as we like them. The owner, a local beverage wholesaler, recently opened this small café in the heart of old Antibes. In a cosy atmosphere, he will introduce you, with a smile, to a wide selection of coffees and teas from all over the world, to enjoy on the spot or to take away. Lovers of artist-brewed beers can also unearth some pretty artisanal finds, and whisky enthusiasts will find wonders from all over the world. A microbrewery is also located here.

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.

The festive spirit of an Irish pub is the trademark of this institution located on the liveliest avenue in old Antibes. During the day, the vast terrace welcomes tourists and families in a relaxed atmosphere for a drink or a bite to eat: the pub serves tapas and hearty dishes (salads, grills, burgers). In the evening, mugs of beer flow freely between sports matches broadcast on giant screens and live concerts at weekends. A fairly young establishment, but ideal for fun and partying.

But also, a trendy musical atmosphere with the Boîte à Musique in the basement: in a charming vaulted cellar with stone walls, the stage hosts DJs and parties of all kinds. It's the ideal place to share a convivial, festive evening.

It combines the sale of fine pastries to take and the wine tasting on the terrace or in the elegant and contemporary decor of the tea lounge. Worked from fresh and seasonal products, 15 pastries are designed every day by Patrick Mesiano and his team, which are either in champagne version or mini-verrines. Sweet macaroons offer fragrances and are available in salted version for the apéritive break: foie gras 4 spices, goat-goat cheese, eggplant caviar, guacamole-paprika. Custom-made macaroons trees, homemade chocolate shelves and the Yuzu chocolate candy (Japanese citrus Fruit) are also part of the specialties of this gourmet address, with three formulas for breakfast, a choice of sandwiches, salted pies and lunch formulas with a choice of champagne and wine.

His bright store is located in a quiet area of old Antibes, and welcomes gourmands for a tasty experience. In the windows: chocolates, cakes, macaroons, sweets and other specialties. You can enjoy them inside or on the sunny terrace. Accompanied by a tea, a coffee or a squeezed juice, you will inevitably succumb. The Sunday brunch is simply unmissable. A beautiful address.

In the heart of Old Antibes, the association Théâtre de la Marguerite has managed the La Scène café-theater on Sea for fifteen years. It is an opportunity to discover unmissable programming. Initiated by Monette Candella, passionate shows, forced the appointment of the lovers of the genre is it.

Monette does not stop there. We owe it the creation and the organisation of Beef theatre which displays a number of talents - Florence Foresti, Dany Boon, Anne Roumanoff and many others -; Femin' arte which of course blends various artistic disciplines such as theatre and the visual arts, the tales for children... and as its name suggests it gives the opportunity to a large number of artists women express themselves. Le Théâtre de la Marguerite: we love a bit, however, passionately...

This Escape Game is located in an indoor leisure complex in the hills above Antibes. If you're not familiar with the concept, it's all about solving puzzles as a team, locked in a room from which you have to escape in record time. With its 1,200^m2, Planet Experiences is the biggest Escape Game in the Alpes-Maritimes, but it also offers other activities such as car simulation (F1 or rally) and a board game bar. A unique place to combine fun and reflection on bad weather days.

A few chairs and high tables, a pretty bar, a slate of delicious homemade tapas (burrata, tartines, mixed or vegetarian platters) that change weekly: all the elements of a good evening are gathered in this little bar in the center of old Antibes. The atmosphere is relaxed, the manager attentive and the venue, a small vaulted cellar with stone walls, a warm decor with paintings and works of art on the walls. In short, it's a far cry from the usual crowded pubs and cafés, and that's exactly what we love about Frankette.
