The best music and entertainment bars Languedoc Roussillon

In the Besson family, we don't do things by halves and it is now Lucas' turn to take the helm of this new festive place. The Galion looks great with its old rigging mast on the deck and its superb tavern inside. After feasting on homemade tapas or well-cooked dishes, DJs, live concerts and shows will take place. Behind the bar, the shakers shake and the atmosphere rises to a crescendo, we have fun, we dance, we laugh, in short, we have a good time. An atypical place where all generations party together.

Everything is said in the name of the establishment. Here, jazz is king! In the background, always. Especially on weekends, with the arrival of regional jazz groups (free entry generally). If the place is only open 3 days a week, it prefers to offer quality rather than quantity and the owner, passionate about this musical trend, has made his choice (a choice we totally approve of, by the way). Better to swing less often but better, one could say... Which of course does not prevent you from having a drink or even a meal.

If you know Cadence at lunchtime with its gourmet and imaginative cuisine or in afterwork mode with its cooked tapas, accompanied by a good glass of wine, then we invite you to extend the experience... From 10:30 pm the DJ turns up the sound, the lights come alive and the bartenders start shaking the shakers! The young and the not so young get into the mood on Pop House, Deep house... the DJs of the moment follow one another to mix in this new trendy place in the heart of the city. Trendy and neat decoration and good vibes for a good evening!

Superb setting that this large house with its garden in the house of Veterans and war victims. A few nights a year, especially during the férias, the Alhambra transforms into the nicest star of nîmoises wineries. You can come to a band to dance or simply take a quiet drink, because the vastness of the place always allows for a nice little corner to chat.

Right across from the former Le Royal cinema, La Fabrik is one of the Ecusson's coolest bars! In a modernized industrial decor designed by its owner, with "rusty" iron stools, you can sit down at the counter for a quick drink and a chat with friends. The soft lighting gives the place a pleasantly trendy feel. The menu features 100 bottled beers and 16 draught beers. You'll also find whisky, rum, cocktails and delicacies (sausage boards, etc.). Pizzas and burgers can also be ordered and eaten on the premises at affordable prices. With its friendly atmosphere and music (of all styles), La Fabrik will delight young working people in the city center for a drink after work.

The Veilleuse, this is a confidential place at the Menje E Quail, in the middle of the pine trees, in a private garden. The owner of music and especially jazz, brings together those who prefer the summer fury, the atmosphere evenings among friends. As a map, only ice, pancakes and cider at low prices. A jazz group occurs here once a week.

The bodegas on the 9 attract large crowds during the ferias. The patio is taken by storm by as many people as possible, but it would be wrong to think that the 9 concentrates solely on these events. During the year, although the atmosphere is quieter, the flamenco evenings are renowned. What's more, the restaurant's lunch and dinner menus maintain a chic, appetizing southern feel. Simple Provençal cuisine, with a focus on fresh seasonal produce, is particularly appreciated in summer on the ancient patio. Baroque setting and soft candlelight.

More Louisiana than Camarguais, this music bar is set in a former hangar. Seductive seduction as soon as you pénêtre in this American lounge. The garden all wood and stone, the exhilarating light game, the high stools, the billiards, the jukeboxes box up to the old petrol pump… the imaginary imagination in full. A mezzanine has been set up for those who want more privacy, calmly converse with Australian beer and dinner: good tex-mex kitchen, or even exotic. Every Thursday evening, a rock, blue, country or Latin concert attracts the world. Not forgetting, zouk evenings or Shows shows. A relaxed place to survive outside the city while keeping its course.

We wish DJ nights lasted longer! The sound of loudspeakers and the voices of happy revelers spill out into the street thanks to the weekend mix. On Thursdays, the students are in charge. Fridays, afterwork from 6pm. On Saturday, at 7pm, the two spaces are set to music. Electro-house or disco pop as in a real discotheque, watched over by 2 security guards at the entrance. Lunchtime: homemade burgers and salads. In the evening, tapas: cheese sticks, chicken wings, French fries and charcuterie plates.

To spend an evening with friends or family, to meet new people in a lively atmosphere, Opalma is a musical bar where you can come to sip cocktails while sharing some tapas. There is also a large choice of rums. It is above all a festive place with a program of theme nights, shows and concerts throughout the year. Most of the time, the evenings take place on weekends and, in fine weather, you can enjoy the terrace. For private or professional events, it is possible to privatize this large establishment.

If you wish to discover the city by night, your steps will inevitably lead you to the Créneau on the pretty Place Saint-Jean. Its rooftop offers an unequalled view of the castle and the magnificent sunsets. You will be able to have lunch or dinner, under its shady canopy, on the terrace or in the contemporary decorated room, sip a cocktail while eating some tapas until late at night, or listen to the DJs some evenings. The perfect spot for a late dinner and a last drink. A very popular address for the youth of Carcassonne.

At the entrance of the city, on the quai des Moulins, the Bamboo is both a lunchtime brasserie with a large terrace where the gourmet suggestions change regularly, but it is also a musical restaurant-bar where one comes to enjoy a festive atmosphere on the weekend. We go there with friends to share tapas, sip cocktails, toast together while enjoying an evening animated by singers during the meal, leaving then place to DJ to continue the evening on the dance floor. You can also privatize the place if you wish.

Close to the train station, this neighborhood address is a den for music lovers who don't take themselves seriously. When you enter the room, you discover a ceiling covered with panties and bras of all colors. At the back, a small stage hosts concerts of swing, rock, jazz, blues, reggae... Karaoke evenings are also proposed by the house as well as open stage sessions. One comes to work a little its dehanché in all relaxation with the regulars who give themselves appointment there for convivial moments.

Set in one of the charming streets of the city centre, this cosy and minimalist bar welcomes you both in the day and in the evening. The atmosphere is relaxed and there are regular animations on the weekend. Side sounds, it's more electro-pop-rock oriented. It is the ideal place to start the evening before going to a disco. A good before.

These two bars have come together to offer their customers, every evening from June to September, variety animations. A nice initiative.

Last year, the advent of 34 on Gambetta gave new energy to this portion of the boulevard. New owners, young and dynamic, have reviewed everything: the garden and lighting "dancefloor", the drinks card with more regional wines, more cocktails and fewer beers. Restoration, lunch and evening is not neglected: 8 €, large choice of salads from 8 €, pizza to 9,50 €, poissons fish, DEMO ANDOUILLETTE, delicacies (tiramisu, chocolate and Bourbon vanilla ice…) and ice cream at any time, this neighborhood brewery is an eclectic, as for its evenings. The terrace and the deep room lend itself to the group meeting. The management likes the musical atmosphere, the concerts live, the theme evenings (Latin salsa, dinner dinner…). Finally, the 34 is also football fan, especially Marseille (all the games of the OM are retransmitted on a large screen!).

Successful conversion for this bar, which was long the historic seat of the Nîmes-Olympic. After an attempt to play karaoke evenings, the News Industry, in the spring of 2009, was able to find a new way. Saved by rock, could we say the News Indus'as appellaient colloquially his new friends. It must be said that Bernard, the boss, did not mégoté! He went there Franco in his offensive by trusting the organizers, in this case the association called Me to stop. But in 2010, DMDM searched for other bars and concert halls to program its groups. Often artists from the independent saxon scene, whom you need to treat… level sound… what has not always been the case at News Industry. So, desertification of the place again, looking for a third way. A return to local fundamentals?

This bar-restaurant is more than a bar-restaurant, it's a real Swiss army knife where various initiatives and energies occupy the place: 2 rehearsal booths, a hairdressing salon, a tattoo parlour, a production company (video/sound recording), and a concert stage! 4 performances per week to listen to a very eclectic music while enjoying good local and organic products, at very reasonable prices. Le Petit Futé salutes this beautiful initiative of solidarity which gives a second wind to a place that could have been destroyed.

A lunar address, this atmospheric bar is the rendezvous for lovers of electro music. In an astonishing and dreamy setting, made up of plants and references to space, all the Montpellier residents settle down to discover the sounds of the moment, the local DJs and the aperitifs of the house. Behind the bar, a dynamic team with a keen ear - indispensable in this kind of establishment! - serves a menu of organically produced wines, as well as boards of small local producers' goods. All this at rather reasonable prices. Once you are satiated, all you have to do is to go and digest it all on the dance floor.
