The best wine bars Nord-Pas-de-Calais

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!

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.

L'Etiquette, a wine bar with an excellent reputation, is also open for lunch and offers its speciality: meat on lava stone. You come there first to enjoy a good glass of wine or a spirit from the beautiful selection, accompanied by a cheese board and cold cuts. The establishment has built its reputation on the impressive number of wine references. We are dealing here with connoisseurs and enthusiasts. It is also possible to take part in evenings with themed tastings. An excellent address!

This wine bar, in the heart of Arras, offers its clientele a range of carefully selected wines: all of them come from independent winemakers who respect the environment. Your glass can be accompanied by a cheese or charcuterie board, and why not the famous roasted camembert with honey and chorizo... The establishment also offers oenology courses and blind tasting evenings, open to both beginners and initiated. Céline and Bertrand frame these events with their passion and their rich knowledge.

Sommelier de France, Betty will convince you with a large wine list and a nice selection mixing prestigious labels and wines from small owners. After a visit to the bar with a board, it's time for an authentic meal with quality products. The warm and relaxed atmosphere of this bar-resto, as well as its delicious gins, make it a real institution in the Dunkirk area. The Apéro Bistrot is open on the Apéro Resto, a rotisserie.

But who are the Pinard brothers, settled in the most charming alley of Old Lille? Germain and Geoffroy, two childhood friends with a passion for wine and local produce! Far from the subdued, elitist image of wine bars, the address has been designed as a cosy, no-frills grocery bar. The star here is the wine, of course, but also the accompaniments: the menu, divided into five French regions, offers five wines, charcuterie and cheese by the slice for each region, carefully selected from small producers. A gustatory Tour de France!

As the name suggests, the truth is in the wine. Philippe, the owner, welcomes you for wine and cheese tastings in a warm atmosphere. In summer, it is pleasant to enjoy the terrace. The wines come from all regions of France and even from all over the world. This bar-cave also offers a good dozen choices of whiskies and rums. If you wish, it is possible to book a blind tasting evening for groups. Theme evenings are organised at weekends throughout the year.

The Babe, worthy baby of the famous Mother, definitely honours the lineage! Here, always the same hype atmosphere that made the Mother's success, but a menu based on exceptional meat. With its huge room in the spirit of industrial butchery, its large tables and its 20 draught beers to enjoy and to accompany with generous boards, the place is packed at aperitif time. Deli meats and cheeses are selected from passionate producers and from sustainable livestock farming, mainly in France and the North. Their beer, Lil Babe, is even brewed at 800 m! A happy hour headquarters in the heart of the city not to be missed.

Located on the Grand'Place, this modern place gathers all the codes of an urban bar of the North: wooden furniture, steel and iron frames, and brick, of course! Everything is gathered to spend a convivial moment with friends: many beers, a rich wine list, a large choice of cocktails and boards for those who are a little hungry. The bar has a program according to the events of the year. Note that it is also one of the rare bars in the city to close late. Convenient to start and why not finish your evening!

What a beautiful and well justified name for this establishment adjacent to the Hôtel des Arts! This lounge bar welcomes you in an elegant Art Nouveau decor. Each hour has its own atmosphere, in the morning for breakfast, in the afternoon for tea time and then an aperitif with nice plates or seafood to share. It is the only wine bar in town. The decoration is both modern and precious and a stylized Mona Lisa watches over the gustatory pleasures of the customers. The bar already has its regulars, especially for the Sunday brunch!
