The best bars and cafés Lorraine

The place is cosy and somewhat cramped but the warmth that comes out is worth the promiscuity and then it encourages encounters. You have to admit, it's always nice in a bar! Here, you will be advised by a professional and friendly staff to taste one of their wines (more than forty references in red, white and rosé). You will also have the opportunity to test beers, some essential references are on the menu. And to accompany your glass, choose one of the sandwiches or plates, some of which are made with local products. Enjoy around the zinc (yes, zinc means the counter of a bar)!

If the coffees are there in number, tasty and roasted on the spot, we have to admit that the prices are a bit high. It is still a warm place to eat a good pancake or waffle. It also has a canteen at lunchtime, with honest but unimaginative plates. It is therefore not discouraged, especially for tea or coffee lovers.

A purple storefront? Opaque glass? What's this strange place high up on Rue Taison that attracts so many people? It's Les Arrangés du Bocal! A name now familiar to all Messiners who like a night out. And all we want to do is dive in headfirst! Near Colline Sainte-Croix, the place is fascinating. Shelves full of jars just waiting to be opened to release their aromas. This rum-maker knows how to cook, blending fruits, spices, herbs and sweets, which they leave to macerate for several months. Arranged rums are in great demand, but there are 130 recipes to try. Some are said to be aphrodisiacs. Other mixtures attract our attention: tomato basil, vanilla coffee, banana flambé, or even... a mysterious "44" whose contents are a secret! Please note that new products are regularly added to the already wide range of products on offer.

The oldest bar in the city of Metz is ranked second place. Founded in 1906, the Saint-Jacques Bar now appears as a place where the customer is not judged by his clothes, but rather his ability to create the atmosphere. It can also be restored in a simple way (crow, salad) with a half of the beer. During the karaoke evenings of this bar, we even hear some and some push the chansonnette until very late in the night… Relaxed atmosphere as possible: here, not to take your head! In the summer, the terrace extends from the nearby addresses and like the others, it is taken from the first rays of sunlight. In short, located 200 m from Metz Cathedral, this bar is one of our favorite addresses for a drink between friends and family.

Let yourself be guided by Julien, the one who created the place... A natural desire to receive you like a friend and to please you with changing flavours.

Downstairs, in the large room bathed in light, it is cosy red and light wood. Upstairs, it's muffled with bronze, dark greens, shiny black and patinated panelling. And arched windows plunging directly onto the cobblestones of the Place Stanislas. This refined setting invites us to enjoy delicious moments of serenity and pleasure, through the gourmet cuisine of chef Cyril Monachon or the bar of Tonino Laurent, always ready to help you discover the latest trends. The service is always smiling and pleasant, whether you come for a business meeting or to enjoy a simple coffee. As you can see, this place is deliciously addictive!

This trendy bar on Place de Chambre offers a breathtaking view of St. Stephen's Cathedral. Inside, it has a sleek, subdued feel, with large lamps and moldings on the wall. With two rooms, you can only see the first room when you enter. The second room is much quieter. The Opéra Café is very popular in the late evening, recommended after an outing to the restaurant or the Opéra, and is also appreciated for its terrace in summer. Classic in its presentation and beverage offering, it is nevertheless recognized as a trendy bar, notably for its music and the thirty-somethings who frequent it. If you're in the mood for dancing, there's a good chance that the bar area will quickly turn into a dance floor. Despite the rather cool and relaxed atmosphere, the patrons of this establishment often display a certain elegance. We recommend this bar when you're out with friends.

Seen from the outside, since the surrounding night, this large glass-panelled bar has a look at the softness of these lights, with beams of orange and blue competing in the rainbow. Inside, the same softness emerges and we are moving. Warm mahogany hues, brilliant chrome and mirror, comfortable leather invite us to relax. The cocktails are warm, the many whiskies, the superb rums and the service equal to those qualifiers. Evenings are organized, classic such as Beaujolais or Daring when it comes to presenting fine linen linen and sex-toys from their partner "More if affinity". The atmosphere is monte, the fabrics are émoustillent and the eyes are clouds with dreams. This is how we love this beautiful establishment, when it gives us surprises to make us sing douce night.

Close to the Place Stanislas and near the Fine Arts Museum, we discover this den dedicated to the lemon. Unmissable because of its mint-colored front. Anaïs, the owner, concocts here her own teas that cannot be found anywhere else. To accompany and perfect the whole, you can taste a lemon speciality. Also, each pastry, ice cream, sorbet, confectionery or chocolate ballotin can be taken away and offered. A pure delight! And for the less greedy, savory specialties or just a coffee are also available.

At the beginning, a group of friends, but above all a passion: beer. This is how this brewery, which started as an association in 2015, became a cooperative in 2022. The lemonades and beers are even certified organic since 2023. That's saying a lot! Here, they only brew good and natural and you won't find any added flavors. Six different beers, all brewed by Théo the brewer, based on malt, hops, yeast and water only make up the range. Ephemeral beers complete the regulars as well as fruity limeades.

It's a real little piece of London that you'll find in this bar in the heart of Metz. On Rue du Palais, the Churchill is already a real eye-catcher, just by its name. Inside, a giant portrait of the famous Prime Minister, cigar in the mouth and gun in the hand like a gangster, welcomes you and sets the tone. Here the atmosphere is rock, retro, a bit rebellious and warm like in any good pub! The place is spacious but friendly and it fills up quickly on weekend evenings or during theme nights. There is a large choice of beers and cocktails but also something to eat and have fun (pool, darts, photo booth...). So let's paint the town red !

Its red storefront catches the eye as you stroll down the lively Rue Sainte-Marie... Welcome to Ô P'tits Crus!

Ô P'tits Crus regularly organizes fun blind tasting evenings: the perfect way to challenge your friends! Pair your glass with a cheese and charcuterie board, and you've got all the ingredients for a great evening out!

For a fiesta, head to Varadero, where the partygoer is immersed in the Cuban atmosphere. At the bar, you'll find house mojitos, piña coladas and trinadas, not to mention shooters. There's plenty of time to sway to the rhythms of salsa, rumba and samba until 2am. Themed evenings and the transmission of sporting events offer a perfect pretext for a cocktail or a good beer, because just in time, there are often special offers, such as the baron for the price of a half... Good to know! Drink in moderation...

At the former address of the Majestic and 915 Kaffe, the Ruin Bär kills two birds with one stone: a "ruin", refurbished to become a bar. The stage is set for this festive venue. The decor will surprise you, between the graffiti on the walls and the dark, festive atmosphere. Two rooms and two bars are here to get the party started, with a quiet aperitif time in the first half of the evening, followed by an unrestrained second half, with the help of happy hour. Draught beer, cocktails and entertainment: it's all about letting loose!

Every weekend you can let off steam with the mix parties. There's plenty to make the nights in Thionville rock'n'roll!

Gourmets and wine lovers are found in Three. As an anecdote, this term refers to a person from the Massif Central installed in Paris. It is this tasty mixture that is found in Three. A careful decoration that was particularly appreciated. An authentic atmosphere and a framework that mixes the leather lockers and leather club chairs. An excellent address to enjoy a drink around delicious sausage boards: smoked ham, Munster, goat cheese. As for small appetites, they can opt for the excellent cold plates. A local atmosphere not devoid of a certain refinement that will delight the dandys and the gourmets.

If you are looking for an authentic address for a drink, this hotel is for you. Enjoy your visit to the covered market for a stop at the bar Le Bonnet held by the warm and the Accueuillant Jacques Denet. A popular place where the market's regulars find themselves around a glass and a good local base! It must be said that market visits open the appetite. On the menu, the products of the market are of course to honour. Snails, seafood products (oysters) are found without forgetting the typical Petits lorraine! A pleasant moment to relax in the middle of the stalls. A good atmosphere and another way to look at the market!

This bistro/brocante opened for over 30 years is not trivial. On the heights, a few steps from the castle you will not be able to miss this extravagant place in the image of its owner. Out like in it is the brocany spirit, bric and broc. An accumulation of strange and abracadabrant objects. This is what makes this coffee the charm: Multicolored bird cages swing into trees, street names are hung in all directions on the walls, there are a whole bunch of old posters glued and even a ball ball! It's the mix of genres, a place out of time, a leap in another era, an enchanting and fascinating stop!

Ideally located in the center of town, this establishment serves as a bakery, pastry shop and tea room. Without forgetting the chocolates, a pure delight! In summer, we like the air-conditioned tea room for a sweet break. The amateurs of salted will also find there good small dishes in any season.
