Fun and entertainment Nord-Pas-de-Calais

Chatham has been in existence for over 35 years. This is the club for your best evenings at Le Touquet. Here, there are all ages and all tastes. This disco regularly offers themed evenings and allows you to wiggle on many styles of music: Rock, funk, salsa, disco, soul, house…

Last year, this pub was taken over by the young Jenny who prints her rock style without altering the atmosphere of this English pub. Beer coasters cover the walls of the bar, a pool table and darts are available for guests. The place is really nice with its warm atmosphere. It feels great, drinking a beer at the bar - straight from a pub in Rochester - or sitting on one of the tables that overlook the street.

A café of used people where you can also enjoy your hunger. Four options for choice in catering on the 6,50 € inch (flat dish, diabolo or water syrup and coffee) at 9 € (dish in choice, drink free drink, dessert and coffee). Sandwiches, desserts, or compound salads enjoy all the more on this sun terrace, on this very nice square of Arras.

A restored farmhouse, Aux Enfants Terribles is a place of conviviality and pleasure that brings together all generations around three pillars: food, beer and events.

Their craft brewery still offers 7 beers brewed on site, then transferred to the venue's multiple spaces via a biéroduc. Fred takes you on a tour of the brewery, explaining the beer-making process, and their comedy shows are aimed at the widest possible audience, while their leisure activities are expanding daily..

The Cactus Café cartonne on the Malo dam. His drink (candied tomatoes, cheese rolls, salami, sausage, tortillas) séduit as much as the proposed cocktails and 10 special draught beers. We love the vaulted ceiling, the terrace, and the reception that is reserved in a cosy and convivial atmosphere. An essential on the dam, you will appreciate.

The Cinéma Le Flandria in Bailleul is a little gem offering affordable screenings and a diversified program. With a particular appetite for arthouse films, 50% of its programming is made up of Art & Essai films, some of which are exclusive to the region. With its unique 145-seat auditorium, it offers an intimate experience. Classified as an Art & Essai cinema with a Young Audiences label, the Flandria also stands out for its events in partnership with local associations. It's a welcoming place that combines accessibility and cinematic quality.

In the shadow of the arcades of the Place des Héros, the café Georget is an institution in Arras… A reputation he owes to his boss for 27 years, Marie-Jo, vice-president of the Brotherhood of Andouillette, among others. In this "village bistro", as defined so accurately by a used habitué of zinc, facade, tile and benches have this small side side of the good old weather. There is a day to take a drink inside or on the terrace, listening to the latest news from the "village", market days to taste the mâchon in the morning, or at midday to enjoy good family cuisine, home made of course (count € 8,70 for the dish of the day), or even the famous andouillette if one has been taken care of. The reception is at the image of the mistress of the places: cordial and generous.

Opened in March 2009, the Saint-Sauveur train station seduces by its eclecticism and its dynamism. This former freight station rehabilitated by the City of Lille offers throughout the year various cultural events open to all. Located right next to the Jean-Baptiste Lebas park, Saint-So, as the regulars call it, is an unusual place. Contemporary art exhibitions or art house screenings, games for children outside, food at the Bistrot de Saint-So and of course in the evening, DJs and musicians often animate the place until midnight.

This bakery has only the name! Instead of croissants, you can enjoy local and sometimes organic beers, hyper sausage or a vegetarian plate. Located just a few steps from the Théâtre Sébastopol, the establishment has kept the bakery's decorative elements: 1950s tiles, old bricks and original marble shelves. The ears will also appreciate the playlist of the place. Exhibitions are organized regularly. The service is pleasant and you can enjoy a nice terrace in the nice days.

The Oz Australian Bar cafe is an absolute place in Lille! At Andrew, a cosmopolitan crowd is looking for a terrace and a drink between friends in a cool and friendly atmosphere. And the night nights of the Losc or the France team, three large screens provide the retransmission. Among the cocktails, let us say for the most hardened: the iceberg bondi, learned mixture of gin, vodka, rum and curaçao with a zest of lemon and lemonade. Really big! Many beers, of course, beer from the opposite. Inevitably, the creation of an Australian will have to take place, or rugby as often seen on this terrace.

The traditional Irish pub par excellence! More than 15 Irish whiskies and many draught beers. And as with any good pub, St. Patrick's Day is an opportunity to go out on the terrace even if it rains. It is also possible to enjoy Irish specialities and traditional dishes, mainly made with local products. Certified by the label of Maître Restaurateur, the establishment makes an effort to adapt to vegetarians with, in particular, a vegetarian board and a vegetarian welsh.

The Spotlight is a great address for humor buffs and those who would like to perform on an open stage. This comedy bar, very well located in the Capital of Flanders, welcomes new talents and spectators in an air-conditioned lounge and intimate room, with a capacity of 150 people. Young artists from all walks of life perform on Mondays at 8pm, Tuesdays from 8pm to 9.30pm and Saturdays at 3pm (admission is free with compulsory consumption). The programme is varied and even features some of the biggest names in French humour, rising stars and concerts. Humour and music in perspective! To follow up, why not let yourself be tempted by the bar side of the Spotlight, bright and well decorated, where it is also possible to play pool with friends? A good address and an original concept that make this place a must for lovers of humorous scenes made in Lille.

Opened in April 2017, the Dilettante was able to test its success at the June music festival… a stocked bar and empty stocks! This is the ideal place for a cosy bar and especially for a nice location. Inside, a loft atmosphere with brick walls and beautiful green plants everywhere, without forgetting the beautiful lights above the bar. A sober and elegant decoration, but it really invites you to make it easy. Outside, a small terrace on the beautiful Place des Archives… paradise when the first rays of the sun appear. Side drinks, nothing to say. An excellent selection of draught beers, a very sharp selection of spirits (special mention to Monkey 47 Gin that is unfortunately not found everywhere and is a true delight), organic cider and many other quality drink await you. Animations and concerts are also organized on time. A place not to miss!

A French-style English tea room in Lille's old town for nearly 20 years, Elizabeth's never ceases to awaken our taste buds in a warm, cosy atmosphere.

Its owners, committed to the values of sharing, passion and pleasure, delight us with their cupcakes, brownies, cookies, cheesecakes, scones with orange marmalade, muffins, lemon tarts, carrot cakes, muffins, sponge cakes... not forgetting the inevitable crumble! Once you've tasted them, there's only one thing you'll want to do: go back for more "so British" wonders..

As the headquarters of the trendy youth of Lille, it is understandable why the opening of La Biche & Le Renard conquered the curious and made so many people emulate it in the middle of the Lille night. But not just that! Because this address is much more than a place for nightlife. It is a boutique bar like no other in Lille. The secret of its success? Its original concept and its decoration half recup' half vintage. During the day, we exchange in a friendly atmosphere over a coffee or a pint while finding accessories from designers made in Lille. In the evening, the displays fold down into benches and the place turns into a bar to host DJ sets and wild parties. We love it!

The largest choice of slot machines on the Opal Coast: 150 reels, video poker and other state-of-the-art games. Your games are likely to last a very long time! You will also feel the great thrill on the English roulette, black jack and boule tables. Visit the Café Barrière, which broadcasts live sports events on four giant screens. The menu, available at all hours, offers typical brasserie dishes and daily specials.

The obscure halls of the Régency have been classified as art and trial, a young public label, for the quality of its programming and animation for children (in 2005). A room only, but of quality!

Bowling Avenue is the ideal place to enjoy family or friends. There are 18 pistes, billiard tables, a video games room and a bar-restaurant. It is recommended to book for groups and especially weekends. The atmosphere is friendly and friendly, and friendly teams and small care. The restaurant offers all kinds of snacks during the day: pancakes, waffles, ice creams, and a selection of burgers and salads for the most reasonable.

The Splendid is first and foremost an atmosphere. Formerly a neighbourhood cinema transformed into a theatre, the Splendid has kept an intimate atmosphere even though it can accommodate up to 900 people. Every year, more than 100 concerts attract curious people from all walks of life. Here no borders, we love rock as much as French song or electro, music as much as comedy shows. An eclectic program that has brought in some of the biggest names in the show, including Air and Christine and the Queens, it's not nothing! After the emotions of the show, go to the bar of the Splendid for a small ultra friendly debrief. An essential address.

Thanks to the many celebrities from the alternative scene who take to the stage every year, l'Aéronef plays in the big league. Hip-hop, electro, reggae, rock... After all, this lively venue is no stranger to live music fans in the surrounding area!

What's more, its programming even caters for the little ones: in addition to its themed evenings, festivals and DJ sets, it offers snack-concerts perfect for introducing children to different styles of music!

On the edge of the beach in Berck-sur-Mer, Le Sunset offers a breathtaking view with its terrace with its feet in the sand. At the same time restaurant, beach bar, bowling and café, it is a unique place in Berck-sur-Mer. Indoor activities are available all year round with bowling and a 300 m² covered playground dedicated to children aged 0 to 12. In terms of cuisine, you can enjoy signature dishes such as lobster and chips or granny-style chicken, but the menu is wide and can satisfy all tastes, particularly mussels and salads.

Located just a few metres from the market in Wazemmes, Le Biplane is one of the privileged places of the artists and amateurs of conviviality in the centre of Lille. It is a double room (theatre and concert) Lille which has been managed since 1998 by the Night Theft association. In total, there are no fewer than 60 volunteers each day to ensure the operation of the establishment, its programming, the reception of the public and also artists. Artists can be seen from all walks of life. Concerts take place in a small vaulted cellar, for an intimate moment with the artists and the public. A time out of time.

Le Dernier Bar avant la fin du monde was one of the first gaming bars to open in Lille! A temple to geek culture, you'll find an atmosphere like nowhere else. At Dernier Bar, we drink cocktails with evocative names (Death Star, TARDIS... if that doesn't ring a bell, there's still time to find out). It's also the place to play board games and chat with other enthusiasts. A word of advice: special evenings like Halloween are very popular! Come early.

The place is a real institution in town and a remedy for rainy days: exotic setting, varied cocktails, eclectic music (rock, variety, new wave...), pleasant service, even at 1 am. The bar offers a nice choice of draught beers and a small restaurant mixing local cuisine and typical brewery dishes. Definitely a good address. Baobab KFE is also a stage where artists perform. For the amateurs, the establishment also retransmits the soccer matches. And on Sunday evenings, the bar organizes quiz nights.

Beyond the welcoming and warm welcome, the supreme word of the place is undoubtedly the quality. The place is resolutely modern, with large design and light spaces with a clean line open on a lovely terrace. A nice surprise in the heart of downtown. The map is structured around all the finest gourmet burgers, but also dishes dishes on site. The products are carefully selected as much for their quality as for their rarity, to see the map of teas. The brunches served on Sunday morning are worth a detour. Beautiful initiative: The café stroller allows young mothers to come together with their offspring and to meet their friends in a place where children's cars are allowed.

Located not far from the New Adventure square, which hosts the Wazemmes market, the factory Leclercq, a 1990 th century filature closed in 2004, was transformed into a Folie House in. The architecture was conceived by a Dutch team, and offers an astonishing sparkling metal dress in the show room. Throughout the year, theatre plays, music festivals such as Reggae Waz Fest and concerts, especially on the occasion of the "release party" worship, where local artists who have released an album reveal their music to the wider audience. At its side, the exhibition room regularly hosts new works in a building that retains the charm of its origins, with its brick walls. With a vocation to promote popular cultures and to provoke meetings, Folie Folie is at the heart of exchanges, multiple crossings, between disciplines, artists of all walks, communities and audiences. The Maison Folie Wazemmes or how to promote culture in all its forms in a playful, festive and convivial way!

Spacious enough to accommodate groups, Mother also broadcasts sporting events, which has quickly made it the place to be for gangs of mates to get together over a few well-chosen beers, as well as wines and spirits! Every month, you'll also find the Mother's not-to-be-missed events: a dress sale, an exhibition and a flea market. In the evenings, there's a small catering service (French fries, planks...). With its effervescent atmosphere and relaxed service, Mother is a great place to visit.

At the crossing of Jeanne-d'Arc Street and rue Jean-Bart is the Café L'Gap. Café-theatre or coffee-philosophy, no matter what, this coffee is left away and it is good to stop there for a drink.

In the heart of the ancient Latin quarter, this coffee has a decoration that attracts the curious with its retro atmosphere. Inside, there is a library composed of works of sociology, literature and even philosophy. Clients are usually students or people who come to read their newspapers and enjoy harmless conversations or more serious conversations. The coffee also makes lunch the midday with a dish of the day at an attractive price. In the evening, the place changes a little atmosphere and beer invites on the tables. In spite of everything, the Gap is a cultural café where conferences, theatre performances, exhibitions, openings… A place to discover absolutely!

Roubaix's Colisée is one of the city's finest venues. From concerts of all musical styles, to dance shows of all kinds, comic and tragic plays, acrobatic circus acts... and much more, performed by talented national and international artists, the richness of its offerings is sure to delight!

What's more, the Colisée team extends a warm welcome to its 100,000-plus spectators every year, with supervised checkroom and parking facilities, for optimum comfort and enjoyment.

The Theatre du Nord is a privileged place for culture with its repertoire parts in Lille, and its contemporary creation in Tourcoing. Housed in the prestigious Grand'Garde building of Louis XV, this theatre offers a beautiful overview of the spirit "subsidized public theatre": if he is able to show demanding and successful creations (Calderón, Houellebecq…), he also displays more popular shows, concerts and creations for a younger audience he proposes to play in schools and even on public square to show that theatre is done by everyone and for all. But the theatre of the North is also a nice bookstore that works in partnership with the no less beautiful bookshop Lille Le Bateau Livre, and a cafe now held by the Peek team in Boo. Theatre in the North? A beautiful address, both cultural and greedy!

A monkey, a logo, a state of mind. Fun, spacious and relaxed, Gastama is a meeting place where students and young working people come together for a drink after a day's work. Le Gastama has a large bar where a wide variety of beers, cocktails and spirits are available to set your evening on fire. Friendly, modern, with an industrial style decoration, Gastama is not limited to the bar alone. The building also has a The people hostel, a 2 in 1 that is open to all travellers and visitors of various origins. Crop shock guaranteed! A melting pot concept like a unique Spanish inn in Lille that is worth a visit!

The advantage with this establishment is that it is ideally located in the city centre, on the Grand square. It is often the meeting point of the Lillois for lunch at lunch or for a coffee break. You can enjoy a drink on the terrace (sheltered and heated), protected from passers-by. So you can drink and continue shopping just afterwards. 

Located next to the Grand Square in a forgotten alley of the Old Lille, this address, almost hidden, is a true nugget. In this bar with New York's atmosphere of the 1930 s, everyone can find themselves, in the utmost discretion and decrepit. Inside, brick, cement, apparent beams and a superb golden copper bar. In the late afternoon or later in the night, we meet around a board board, listen to jazz concerts a glass of rum, whisky, wine or regional beer by hand. Anyway, you understood it, no prohibition here. At the Café Society we redo the world with a bit of nostalgia!

As you walk past, you won't want to miss the Kolor Bar. As its name suggests, it's a colorful establishment! When you enter the Kolor Bar, you're transported back to the '80s. The owner's choice of kitsch decor appeals to nostalgic Lillois. Multicolored stools, luminous ceiling tiles, portraits of '80s stars, old music videos and cartoons - everything is designed for total immersion in the era when Gilbert Montagné was still singing under the tropical sunlight. With a sunny terrace and original specialties like "Kolor shot" (candy-flavored vodkas), you're sure to have an unforgettable time! There's even a table soccer table and a super Nintendo available for customers...

Don't let yourself be intimidated by the storefront that merges with that of the neighbouring restaurant: the Urban Bar terrace is well behind. In comfortable armchairs, enjoy cocktails, beers and other drinks in the centre of the city, despite very quiet and secluded passage. A little coeur for the mojitos, proposed to several perfumes (nature, strawberry, etc.), and for the team, very friendly, which is efficient and knows how to advise you. In short, an ideal place to spend the evening, couple, between colleagues or friends…

Genuine and beautiful guinguette held by Gérard and Monique Baillieul where you can sing and dance at the rhythms of the animations. Evenings and meals dancing, moules evenings, Beaujolais evenings, romantic evenings… while tasting regional specialities such as potjevleesch, pear-spéculoos cake. Your children will also be happy: games, horses, ponies and pigs.

The Solferino is definitely a UFO that will surprise us and we will always be satisfied. This is the perfect address that corresponds to a real good plan like the Petit Smart: the beer is at unbeatable prices, probably the cheapest in Lille and the brand closes very late in the evening, which is ideal to go there to find a packet of cigarettes. As for the atmosphere, should it be described: here, everyone is there to drink, take good time, watch a football game, read the newspaper, play the races… It is user friendly, dynamic and lively. On the other hand, the establishment is usually crowded, and it will have to play elbows…

At the Café Citoyen, we only drink and eat organic food! It's THE place to be for good friends with a sense of solidarity and responsibility. Committed and alternative, this café is taken by storm by members of groups and associations who like to meet and debate. On the terrace or in the rooms, on the ground floor in front of the bar or upstairs among the books, customers can attend new events: concerts, exhibitions, comic book nights, etc. As for the food: you can have a local snack of course! It's a bit like being at home!

The Eurorégional Centre for Urban Cultures, now renamed FLOW, is a unique place whose missions revolve around five strengths. First, support and accompaniment to artists through workshops, personalized advice and residences. In FLOW, artists are given the keys to progress and enrich their practices. But FLOW is not just about professionals. It offers amateurs and semi-professionals a wide range of awareness, initiation and training projects. Yes, here being amateur does not mean being dilettante! Finally, the Centre is at the heart of a network of several structures, all of which are committed to putting urban cultures, mainly hip hop, on the front of the stage. Through strong times throughout the year, FLOW gives the public the best of contemporary creation. The scenic feats of hip-hop dancers and dance break are breathtaking and restore this culture of nobility. This is also what the current Resource Centre also works for. History, sociological studies, archives… urban cultures are studied and analyzed in the same way as all other forms of art. Proof, if one was needed, that urban cultures deserve public attention!

The magic formula of this great cabaret? A finger of charming dances, colourful revues where artists in costume, animals, cars and a certain idea of professionalism, characterized by the care taken both on stage and on the plate. In a room of impressive dimensions, which can accommodate more than 250 covers, on three levels, everything is done so that each time the customer leaves with memories full of memories, already thinking of the next revue that he will be happy to come and discover at the Grand Cabaret.

Located in a former bus station, this pretty Partouche Group casino offers over 1,000 square metres dedicated to gambling, with a 2000 ball table, blackjack, electronic English roulette and 75 slot machines. The bar is a warm place to continue an evening with a drink. The brasserie La Verrière offers many formulas to give strength to gambling addicts: the chef proposes the inevitable cheese burger, the entrecote, the tartar or the veal kidneys a la plancha with old fashioned mustard cream...

Only one bar but several atmospheres. A corner to have lunch or dinner in complete privacy, another one to party in a group or even tables to just have a drink while listening to music or watching the cinema screen that often broadcasts images from the other side of the world. The decor warms hearts on a grey day in an Australian seaside atmosphere. A la carte: kangaroo or ostrich fillet, a little weakness also for the Uluru salad or the grill board.

With its twenty-four bowling lanes, laser game, the latest generation video game room and twelve pool tables, Bowling World is the temple of fun. Go with family or friends and enjoy it without complexes! The organizing team also offers birthday packages with one to four activities with cake, drinks and gifts. Special evenings are held, including Thursdays at leisure, during which you can discover the activities at will.

Located in the heart of the city of Lens, close to shops and restaurants, Cubana Bar is a Latino bar that offers cocktails by the glass or pitcher to share, as well as various spirits and beers. Some small plates are also available. You have to come during the thematic evenings: bachata on Tuesday, latino on Wednesday and students on Thursday. It is even possible to take classes during the dance evenings. The decoration is typical of bars with atmosphere and the service is efficient, even on crowded nights.

With its red facade, the wine and V.I.P. cocktail bar at Café des Sports is an eye-catcher. The interior is in keeping with this, very sober and chic at the same time. The bottles are proudly displayed behind the counter: the establishment offers no less than 48 different wines by the glass. Whisky and rum lovers, you will not be unhappy because the selection is also attractive there. This addition of bars to the ancestral brasserie des Sports regenerates the area.

A concert hall equivalent to the huge bunker of Bercy, but in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Yet we do not think enough about it, when more and more major events are taking place there. So think: 14 000 places! It doesn't take any more to see large names of international scenes make a small hook by our region. Muse or Depeche Mode made the move. Here the sound is warm and does not stop in all corners of the room, as in Paris… In spite of the size of the Arena, there is a certain closeness to the artist. Unfortunately, the imminent delivery of the Grand Stadium could bring big sizes to prefer this new high place of the department for ever more shows. Shame.

This concert hall places culture and art in honour. Here for all tastes: concerts: French rock or song, theatre for big or small, but also exhibitions and cultural actions of all kinds.
