The best bars and cafés Cayenne

This small bar on the outskirts of the city center boasts a hushed, intimate decor. In a lounge atmosphere, customers, who tend to be regulars, can enjoy a wide choice of cocktails, from the most basic to the most surprising. Don't hesitate to try the "Décalé chinois" (champagne, ginger and lychee liqueur), or the special rum with banded wood, carefully crafted by a team of cocktail professionals. In addition to the classic Café de la gare and Hitbox, 1992 is a great way to discover Cayenne by night on weekdays.

This is the perfect place to meet people of all kinds, listening to a wide variety of musical styles. Weekend concerts/cabarets are very popular, and you can also attend workshops/lectures on topical subjects in the early evening. Weekday theme nights include kizomba on Tuesdays, bachata on Wednesdays, salsa on Thursdays, karaoke or theme nights on Fridays and concerts on Saturdays. If you'd like to keep abreast of events when you're in Cayenne, there's only one place to go: the café's Facebook page.

A must when you're passing through, for a drink with your feet in the sand, in a relaxed atmosphere. Music-wise, there's a little bit of everything, but mostly electro and current hits. Numerous armchairs made from salvaged materials are set around a truck painted in warm colors, giving the place that bohemian je-ne-sais-quoi. A very popular bar for metros passing through French Guiana or living in Cayenne. Check out the Cocosoda Facebook page to keep up to date with events.

A cosy lounge bar where you can enjoy a cocktail in the lounge area or on the terrace. There's a wide choice, including some twenty different cocktails with or without alcohol, twenty types of rum and just as many beers (including some fine Belgian labels), some forty whiskies and a wide selection of champagnes. On karaoke nights, the bar is packed and the atmosphere is electric. On other evenings, the atmosphere is more serene and intimate.

The Hitbox is Cayenne's coolest bar for lively evenings out, on the terrace listening to a concert, or inside playing table soccer (free and open access) and 2 consoles with Fifa and Mario Kart at your disposal! The bar offers a wide range of cocktails. On Tuesdays, for example, it's Jam night, but check the online program to find out what you like. After 11pm, the band clears the space and you can dance on the dance floor. If you don't like crowds, opt for weekday evenings.
