The best beer bars Nord-Pas-de-Calais

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..

As soon as you enter, you love the all-wooden counter, which invites you to sit down and get lost in the reading of the draught beer choices displayed on a large slate board. As for the wall of bottles, it is the proof that here we know what we are talking about. Beware, nothing but the new and the exceptional. The selection is very precise and offers nectars brewed by the best producers in France. While beer is of course in the limelight, whisky lovers will not be outdone thanks, once again, to a careful selection of unique nectars.

The ideal place for an evening out with friends! This trendy venue is housed in a former spinning mill in Saint-André. The decor is a blend of American dining and the industrial heritage of the North. The vast brick and steel room opens onto a large terrace, which is very pleasant in summer. The beer is brewed on site in huge vats. Every month, 2 experimental beers are offered, and every 3 months, one of them is voted by customers to join the permanent range. Brique House also serves excellent homemade pizzas!

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!

Here, a dozen pumps are used to pressurize the artisanal beers and if you find the choice difficult, don't look at the map, it would make you dizzy with a hundred bottles offered for tasting! Everyone meets here to relax and drink a good foam. At weekends, the atmosphere is more festive, with concerts and various seasonal animations. To accompany your beers, cocktails or glasses of wine, also take advantage of the small catering proposed to complete the tasting: it is simple but good.

An atypical bar, which is at the same time a beer bar (with a nice selection of Bud' and IPA), a restaurant, a snack bar and a vapo bar. You will be able to nibble on the go with friends while watching a game and sipping a beer, and if you are a vapoteur, buy, repair or get information. A surprising concept, to say the least, but which seems to work well according to the many regulars of the place. In short, if you are looking for a drink or a meal in Cateau-Cambrésis, go to Craft and Co!

The temple of Belgian beer has been present in Arras for 6 years and deserves your full attention. Here, initiates and novices alike will find over 80 references of this beverage.

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!

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.

La Mouss Touch' is a family and entrepreneurial challenge. Adrien and Bertrand Villert are brothers. After business school, they opened this beer bar. In their beer library, they promote regional production and present dozens of beers from the North and Pas-de-Calais. Their father, Jean-Charles, is also involved in the adventure, because the Mouss Touch' is also and above all a micro-brewery. Jean-Charles had been brewing as an amateur for several years... Now he brews like a pro and the Daron's beer bears his name well. And to accompany these delicious hopped nectars, the Mouss Touch offers boards of delicatessen and cheese. A warm and friendly family bar.

If you're desperate to drink a local beer, then step into the Beer Chope on Rue de Gand! The concept of this bar is to offer "all the beers of our region" and to pay homage to beer!

On the first floor, discover the beers and admire the showcase of bottles, with all the big names from the area. Upstairs, extend your evening by playing the wooden games, or just chatting with friends.

Created by Victor, Théo and Kamil, three childhood friends, La Pépite is a very nice bar-cantine. As for the bar, the three friends only offer local beers (although there are some Belgian beers!) and cocktails imagined by them, such as this thyme-infused gin...: strange at first but really tasty! As for the canteen, there is nothing but quality and above all, only local. The sweet and savoury delicacies are prepared by the best pastry-caterers in the area and put the region in the spotlight. As for the atmosphere, local DJs often come to thrill the ever-growing number of customers. A real success for this very nice address!

Chez Marcel is a place of pleasure, tasting and sensory experiences. Because a good beer is something to look at, smell, taste and savor slowly.

An intriguing name and an intriguing story for an insider's address shared like a secret! Because La Planque is hidden behind a back door in Vieux-Lille, at the end of a corridor and in the basement...

Today, you can sip cocktails and draught beers, play beer pong or sing along to live karaoke... A warm and relaxed place!

At the foot of the Belfry, the old and regretted Irish pub has finally found its successor: The Melting Pub! But regrets will quickly fade once you've tasted your first glass.
