Best nightclubs Aquitaine

Annex of the Iboat, this atypical place with a crazy program animates the Bassins à flot district with its numerous events. Under this curious tent, you can attend rock'n'roll concerts, film-club sessions, retro dances, rollerblading parties, children's parties, flea markets and designer markets... The decoration made of bricks and mortar and diverted objects plunges us in an atmosphere of cabinet of curiosities very second degree. On sunny days, the place becomes a guinguette and we love to have a drink between two events.

Café Populaire has been around for three decades, and it's still the same friendly place, nestled between the Capucins and Place de la Victoire, where conviviality and good humor are the order of the day. A French brasserie-style restaurant, the establishment transforms into a dance floor from 10pm onwards, with live concerts and DJ sets all week long. A festive atmosphere is guaranteed at this Bordeaux party institution, where the credo remains: eat, drink and dance! All ages are represented, the only prerogative being to have fun...

On the right bank of the Garonne, Guinguette chez Alriq is one of Bordeaux's must-visit evening venues. When the weather's fine, it's a great place to enjoy a glass of wine and listen to live music. Canteen, tapas shack, oyster shack... You'll be delighted under the lanterns! From the terrace, you'll enjoy a sublime panorama of the city. All summer long, the Guinguette chez Alriq offers a tempting cultural program to suit all tastes. From hip-hop to jazz to swing, you'll find something for everyone.

In the heart of Bordeaux, right next to the Grand Théâtre, you'll find one of the city's trendiest nightclubs. Be patient when entering...

Flashy neon lights, coconut palms and a festive mood: you've definitely come to the Tropical café! This is an establishment that has been livening up the evenings in Pau for almost 20 years.

Le Durango is one of Pau's oldest nightclubs, and it's fair to say that the evenings here are anthology. Here you're dealing with true nightlife professionals, and every night the Durango team gives its all to make your nights more beautiful than your days! A haven for rock music, over the last few years the club has taken a slight electro turn, the quality of which is a delight for fans. Special evenings with top turntablists follow one another, and some of the biggest names have set the dancefloor alight with their legendary beats. This nightclub is a must for any night out in Palaiso, as it's a truly exceptional venue devoted entirely to partying and dancing!

After the Saint John Bridge, by crossing the Deschamps quay, third street on the left. The Enseigne's (with a) spark of a beautiful blue night is just a few hundred metres away from the Saint John Bridge. A little historical reminder. The discotheque was resumed three years ago. Here is club, karaoke and retro dance. This is a quality karaoke, a disco for 25-45 years and a retro club every Thursday evening and Sunday after Noon. In the programme: Tea dancing on the rhythm of waltz, of tango… It's dj's Confetti who animates! The hotel welcomes great DJ's regularly. The vast room of 800 m 2 welcomes especially the singers and singers who are trying to charm themselves, and who after choosing consumption and song in a book prepared on each table, singent with (and sometimes technical) stars of the French or international variety. But the Eclypse is mainly a disco where to celebrate in a good spirit… in total safety…

This nightclub, located in the Casino de la Plage, is the only place on the Médoc to be open all year round for partying, and has been for ages. A veritable local institution, it attracts an eclectic clientele with a varied musical program. At the height of the season, the Snack du Chalet offers American sandwiches, hamburgers and kebabs for lunch and dinner (and especially late into the night for post-night-club cravings), to eat in or take away. Very efficient reception and security service.

Just a stone's throw from the Cité du Vin streetcar stop, this well-known club is ideally located. There's even a free shuttle service to and from the club for customers who have reserved a table or VIP area. Hip-hop, house, electro... Wednesday nights are all about the ladies, with free entry until 2am. Theme nights: disco, funk, 80s... There's no shortage of opportunities to party here! The Bodega del Theatro opens from 9pm to 2am.

In the heart of the city center, the Connemara is a "bar licence boîte" as its many regulars say! A veritable institution, this aspect definitely makes it an establishment like no other. In some ways it's just a bar, in others it's more like a nightclub. On the outside, it's easy to spot with its red-and-green-painted wooden facade; inside, it's all wood, like an authentic Irish pub, with an upstairs gallery running around the dance floor animated by a big screen. Here, good humor and conviviality are the order of the day, with or without whisky, beer and cocktails, as Connemara frequently organizes theme evenings.

It's in an old hangar where The Base team has set up shop. The owner is not at his first try: his other nightclub, the Light, is one of the most important places for Bordeaux parties. What's special about this new nightclub? An innovative concept with dance, acrobatics and fire-eating shows, which take place every Friday and Saturday from 2am to 5am. Showcases and theme evenings complete the offer. Attention, the club is very select: be prepared to wait at the entrance, without being sure to enter.

If you don't know Le Balap in La Teste, you know nothing... At its head ? Zézette who doesn't have a lisp, Dad the well named and the son, Tony. All this little family attracts all the party-goers of the area, but not just any party-goers, those who like their "zique", i.e. the rhythms of the 80's and who love the good atmosphere in a decor inspired by Thailand with its wooden terrace. Once you've tried Le Balap, you'll definitely come back, because the evenings are unforgettable. We sometimes meet some VIPs who spend their vacations on the basin.

Madison is dancing, real real. Not a small, cramped place where dance is just a pretext. Here we have 300 m 2 of a beautiful oak parquet room to enjoy the pleasure of dancing: from the country to zouk through rock and salon dances, there are for all tastes!

La is a kind of hacienda in the heart of the Quais wharf, a enclave colonized by Afro-Cuban rhythms (salsa, samba, Latin…) but also by any other style of music, it is a so-called generalist disco. You are warned by a poster at the entrance indicating that the cloakroom is compulsory, 2 € per person. The management is there to ensure your peace of mind for a hassle-free evening.
