The best pubs Auvergne

Located between the Lecoq garden and the Place de Jaude, this Irish pub offers a wide range of beers, rums, whiskies and cocktails to enjoy with friends. It is a place of meeting and cultural exchange, since French and foreign students like to meet there. It is frequent to hear several languages spoken. The waiters are very professional. A room upstairs can be privatized for events. On ASM match days, the atmosphere of this pub is supercharged. Theme nights and other concerts are also proposed.

Half pub, half bistro, here is Lou Gallic. Rue Saint-Joseph, the establishment is the trendy meeting place of the spa town. But trendy in its own way. You don't come here to show off but to meet people. Behind the bar, Biche has been serving customers for 40 years. A whole life which makes that the place gives off a warm atmosphere to share a beer or a glass of wine. The food is simple and efficient. If you ask an inhabitant of Chaudes-Aigues for the address, simply indicate "chez Biche", you are sure to arrive at the right place.

Welcome to Gotham City. No, you're not in an American comic book, but in one of Aurillac's evening bars. Anthony, the creator of the place, reigns supreme here. It's small but warm and the decor is urban and cosy. At the counter, you'll find a nice selection of wines, American beers such as Bud or Brooklyn, brewed in New York, and especially cocktails such as Gotham, a house blend based on black vodka flavoured with blueberry. A batmanian and techno atmosphere based on human relations. Hot.

A new look for Berthom! After a few weeks' refurbishment, Clermont-Ferrand's must-visit pub has reopened its doors. We love the new, brighter decor, the indus feel and the large tables, which make it easier for several people to come together. Another new feature is that the beers on offer are indicated at the top of the bar: very practical! The terrace is also brand new, with new yellow furniture and high tables for groups. A welcome facelift! The selection of beers, both draught and bottled, is as extensive as ever. And happy hour is always a big hit during the week!

Kerry's is one of the region's most popular Irish pubs. Whether you come for the pub or the brasserie, you'll fall under its spell! In fine weather, the outdoor terrace is particularly popular. Every week, a different concert is programmed on Thursday evenings. Service is at the bar. You'll have to elbow your way in on certain evenings, especially during ASM broadcasts. A wide range of beers is on offer, as well as dozens of different bottles. Whiskies and rums are also on offer, as are cocktails.

Over the years, Bell's has continued to ride the Australian wave. Surfboards, yellow signs, vintage colors... the decor sets the tone. For lunch or a quick bite in the evening, the menu offers a few classics (burgers, salads) and a selection of meats. Bell's is easily identifiable by its vast terrace at the entrance to the Jaude center. It's an ideal location on which to build your success. Numerous theme evenings are organized: djs, concerts, salsa and batchada initiations...

After the success of Australian Coffee, Gaëtan and his wife Bronwyn had the good idea of taking over La Perdrix and changing its name. It's all about hops and malt. The establishment is brimming with original beers from all over the world, all tested before being put on the menu. A selection of spirits, rums and whiskies is also on offer. The ovens have been rekindled to offer dishes such as fish and chips. Evening concerts, matches and quizzes are held regularly. Service is provided at the bar. The basement bar is well worth a visit. Fifteen taffy machines spread over two counters!

One comes to this pub to drink a beer with friends, to follow with passion a rugby match on the giant screen or the broadcasting of a rock concert, the tavern atmosphere is friendly and warm. The service is done at the bar, with a smile, and the choice is large between a dozen of draught beers, cocktails with or without alcohol, specialities like hypocras and cervoise. And if the guests are a little hungry, the menu offers some snacks to share: chicken nuggets, pizzas... to be enjoyed on the barrels that serve as tables. Special evenings are regularly offered: rum tasting or rock concerts, there is always something to share.

This themed bar boasts a warm welcome, a superb zinc roof and a hard rock decor reminiscent of Irish pubs. Beer lovers will appreciate the friendly selection of beers, including authentic Guinness, cherry beer, mixers (alcohol and soft drinks), whiskies and whiskeys, including Jack Daniel's Apple lemon tonic, gins, rums, ti-punches, a choice of cocktails, shooters and digestifs. An area is dedicated to darts competitions where the winner is handsomely rewarded. The perfect place to relax between happy hour, sports broadcasts and concerts.

Here is the HQ for beer lovers, for those who are very hungry and for fans of lively and convivial evenings. The beers, classic (Carlsberg, Grimbergen) or a little more sought after, including the famous Guinness, are offered on draught or in bottles. Two floors are reserved for catering. The menu is worthy of a brasserie (croque-monsieur, salad, burger...) with a touch of terroir (truffade). The pub regularly organizes events, such as game broadcasts. It is possible to privatize a space or a floor for an evening.

The barrel at the entrance and the 120 references of beers announced on the front set the mood. Once through the door, you'll go down in underground mode in a very mountainous wooden decor where the owner welcomes you. For those who don't like beer, don't worry, rums and other whiskies have not been forgotten in the list of beverages offered. As for music, concerts are organized throughout the year. A must for those who want to extend their mountain days in a warm and festive atmosphere.

Crowds, chatter, good music, a friendly atmosphere, beers and chips on wooden tables... there's no doubt about it: this is the Mont-Dore pub. Jayne, Andy and Bradley welcome you with a smile. A wide range of beers is available on draught. Other drinks are of course available à la carte. Regular evening events and match broadcasts. In summer, the pub expands with a terrace on the shady square across the road. The trio have just opened a^2nd address: the Bierhaus, rue Jean Moulin.
