NAKAMA

World bar

Taking over the walls of the mythical Quincaillerie, Nakama has been able to impose its style and seduce the crowds from the start with its concept of a tapas bar and homemade Japanese street food (miso soup, takoyaki, tataki... - a treat!) supplemented by a good choice of bottled beers and natural wines to which is added a wide range of Japanese spirits. In a decoration that oscillates between industrial / arty atmosphere and deeply zen atmosphere, it's a warm and lively place that keeps the spirit of its predecessor's neighbourhood bar while giving it a welcome change of scenery through its young and fresh concept and its special evenings with a totally made in Japan spirit!

UBUNTU LA BASCULE

World bar

La Bascule is defined as an "ubuntu" coffee, a concept from sub-Saharan Africa that encompasses the ideas of mutual aid, sharing, solidarity, equity, community spirit... La Bascule was born from a group of people who were militant and committed to these notions, and whose aim was to make them germinate through the establishment of a resource centre in the city of Rennes. Much more than an associative bar where you can drink local beers, natural wines, herbal teas from local herbalists or eat competitively priced dishes made with healthy ingredients, it is a place for intercultural exchange. There is a stage open to local amateur artists: concerts of all kinds, contemporary art exhibitions, café-debates, screenings, lectures... It is also a place where you can gather your association for meetings, discover skincare and clothing products created by local producers and designers, go and get your organic basket, do volunteer work behind the bar, take part in events about alternative lifestyles, or just party. It's a place that exudes authenticity and simplicity. It's like being in a country bar, far from the metropolis, in a jovial and relaxed atmosphere, with cultures coming from every corner of the world, so much so that you don't really know where you are anymore. If you are looking for a true atmosphere close to simple and civic values, without moral lessons and with a smile on your face, this is the perfect place to recharge your batteries!
