The best pubs Nice

Right at the entrance to Vieux-Nice, on the edge of the Place du Palais de Justice, this is one of Nice's must-visit establishments at any time of day. From tea tasting, to aperitif time when you enjoy a good fruit cocktail accompanied by complimentary tapas, and later when the place transforms into a nightclub, the party's in full swing and the prices are sweet. Known for its 80s-style Thursday nights, the atmosphere remains convivial and danceable, with talented bands and DJs performing.

Ma Nolan's is an Irish pub with a jovial atmosphere and an early 20th century decor. This is where the Anglo-Saxon community meets to listen to pop-rock music and sip a whiskey, a cocktail or a good Irish beer. From 12pm to 11pm, a full menu offers starters, main courses and desserts. The biggest sporting events are broadcast live and bands play every night of the week from 10pm.

When the 3 Devils open the doors of their kingdom, a warm wind blows on the Cours Saleya. On the first floor, on the beautiful terrace or in the small room located upstairs, the atmosphere is festive and friendly for wild parties until the middle of the night. If the decoration is rather minimalist, with brick walls which give to this establishment a dark and muffled atmosphere, a few drinks are enough to relax the guests, on a well rhythmed sound background or during one of the thematic evenings. A great place to party!

It is an institution in the old Nice! This pub has a good atmosphere and the 2 rooms are often full to bursting. Point of cultural fusion, here, we speak English on all the floors. In the first room, you can enjoy a good burger while watching a sports game while in the one at the back, you will be seated to have a drink facing the stage, where bands play live their pop-rock sound. The more the hours go by, the more the temperature rises: as a result, everyone ends up dancing on the tables in a supercharged atmosphere!

On the edge of the Nice quayside is the place for the festive nights of the port. The Boston is an ideal place to have an aperitif with some tapas between friends. From the terrace, you will have a magnificent view of the port at nightfall. Let yourself be carried away by the atmosphere and the music while enjoying one of the many cocktails or spirits offered on the menu. The evening inevitably ends on the dance floor when the resident DJ sets the turntables on fire. A must-see night spot in Nice, a stop at the Boston Bar is highly recommended.

If the reputation of Ma Nolan's in the old town of Nice is well established, the eponymous pub located on the quays of the port is also worth a visit. Same neat decoration, same friendly atmosphere. Bands play every weekend and there are many sports broadcasts. The drinks menu is varied. The beautiful terrace offers an extraordinary view of the port of Nice, with the castle hill in the background. To try it is to adopt it.

In a friendly, lively setting with contemporary decor, Le Bateleur offers a fine range of beverages: wines, cocktails, premium spirits and dozens of draught and bottled beers. On the food side, the menu is appetizing, with a fine choice of tapas to share, charcuterie and cheese platters, salads and burgers. There are also a number of regular events, including blind tests, dance evenings and concerts. A blend of cabinet of curiosities and English-style pub with vintage and bohemian touches.
