Cool Bordeaux Bar
  • Tip Rating:
  • I am not sure of the name of this bar, but it is located just of Place du Parlement.

    It is large, cave type bar that serves tasty drinks and played great jazz music when we were there.

    Mushroom: A nice bar/pub close to the cinemas
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Mushroom is a friendly bar/pub, with darts and wooden tables, a little dark and gothic (but the customers aren't necessarily goths). The waitress/owner is always nice and smiling

    Lots of beers, cocktails, and the prices are honest, in a low french average : 2.50 - 3 euro a beer

    A good place to hang out after a movie !

    Tie excluded. Oh well, go dressed as you like !

    Les Epicuriales: Epicuriales, every June
  • Tip Rating:
  • 1/ Bordeaux is considered south of France, thus already an invitation to vacation

    2/ End of june is the beginning of summer

    To celebrate the beginning of summer, Les Epicuriales are a good option if you are around Bdx or wanting to reach it.

    The concept is simple: one of the most beautiful avenue in Bordeaux is loaded with nice bars and terrasses, where people enjoy the first days of really good weather.

    I have been there two years in a row and always had a great time. When "La Fete de la musique" mixes up with les Epicuriales, it just gets even better.

    The Houses of Parliament: English style pub

    Ok, I've never been a fan of the Brit's abroad haven, but this place has none of that aloofness that a similar place in Spain might have. It is run by a family originally from Essex. The son and daughter have grown up truly bi-lingual and appreciative of both French and English culture and it is perhaps this which allows for such a great marriage of the best of both worlds in this bar. The service is English style at the bar rather than French style table service, but this is not done in an obtuse way as if to say that the English way is somehow better, rather that the English way is a little eccentric and a bit of a novelty for the French. The walls are decorated with memorabilia from days gone by, including a 1966 World Cup programme.

    It is indeed very popular with both English and French alike and both languages are spoken in equal measures. French people wanting to improve their English skills can be found asking at the bar for conversation tutors in order to perfect their accents. Rather than a bolthole for the English to avoid the natives of Bordeaux, I found it to be a place where English friendly French people meet French friendly English people.

    The pub serves bottled beers such as Becks and Corona, local bottled concoctions such as beer with vodka or whisky, draught beers including John Smiths bitter, a small selection of alcopops and also coffee. No food is served here, but the landlady has no problem with people bringing food in from outside. Sports are shown here whenever they are on and a selection of English magazines and newspapers are available, as well as English Sky news so you can keep up to date with what's going on back home. There is also the ubiquitous pool table if you fancied a game...occasional karaoke nights and theme nights keep the buzz going.

    "Happy hour" in the typical British binge drinking tradition is from 5pm until 8pm.

    Come as you are

    Bordeaux has a lot of english citizens, hence we've got lots of (good) pubs.

    This one's my favourite, a cosy small one, with Strongbow on tap and savoury baked potatoes.

    Can be packed and really smokey, though

    It's okay as long as you're dressed

    Comtesse: Favourite bar in St Pierre
  • Tip Rating:
  • With soft music and comfortable second-hand (or maybe fourth-hand) seats, and with prices dating from before the war (Gulf II, I mean), it's a nice and friendly place.
    Can be really crowded and full of smoke, but in summer if you come early you've got a chance to get a table on the terrasse :)

    If you like romantic nights,...
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you like romantic nights, you should go to St Pierre neighbourhood!

    If you prefer partying and clubbing, you first should have a drink at one of the many bars located around Victory place and then move to the 'Quai de Paludate' (Paludate Pier), where all the clubs are!!

    Irsh bar: The Connemara
  • Tip Rating:
  • Try to get to the Irish Bar, The Connemara. Mention Eric Cantona and you might get a free drink...I say might.

    Try and get in with an Eric Cantona mask!

    Mmm! I think I couldn't find...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Mmm! I think I couldn't find night life in France, but I was wrong! Bordeaux have nice pubs and discos open until 4-5 AM.
    Good music and cheap beer is enough to mantain you sharp and talkative.

    There are lots. Look for the ones with tv's and football games on. They can be fun and noisy. The bartender can be on a happy mood and give some freebies away. You can see how much the french love football. You can make lots of french inspite of limited french language knowledge!!

    Casual.
