    Claims to be a good time with anglo friendly barmen, with occasional live music and the inevitable footie on a big plasma. For those who want the benefit of Nice but something familiar from home by way of nightlife. Not unlike other "pub" venues in the Rue de la Prefecture - Master Home and Waynes, or Ma Nolans at the entrance to the Cours Saleya.

    Every night a different theme.

  • Definitly the most popular place in Nice. A crazy party place that start's at Happy Hour and never slow down until it closes. It becomes completly packed with drinking, dancing people. Always have great live bands performing in the inner room where more people are actually dancing on the tables than there are room on the floor.

    Casual.

    jazz and theater: Le bar des oiseaux
  • Tip Rating:
  • A bar for the locals, very relaxed and nice, mostly live jazz but they hang the program of the month on the door so you can have a look, the program is also on their website. They sometimes have some theater piece playing in a small backroom, but also other live music. have a look. age around 30 and older. If you like jazz and get the chance to see Dimitri Shapko perform there, do go. I've seen him in another pub in Nice and he's such an amazing saxophone player.

    O'Neill's: Pints and punters
  • Tip Rating:
  • A traditional pub on the Rue Droite, with a large variety of beers, and SkySports on two screens. A welcome stop if you want to have a pint and catch English Premier League football. Yes, it's a chain, popping up all over Europe, but this is no McDonald's.

    Johnny's wine bar: Bar with live music
  • Tip Rating:
  • A very small bar which has nothing to do with wine despite the name. They have cheap beer, cheap drinks all together and live music every evening. The canadian owner John plays every night a bit and after that there are other bands playing. Lots of "habitués" and different ages. He also have some cheap food, very small menu. Great atmosphere!

    Before: For those who like trendy bars...
  • Tip Rating:
  • It was just down the street from our hotel, on Avenue Baquis. It obviously catered to a well-heeled and fashionably-late sort of clientelle, and was lined-up by 11:00 p.m. I didn't attend the festivities, as my Ferrari was still in the shop, but might have under different circumstances. It looked like the place to be.

    Judging by the patron's attire, I would suggest erring on the side of designer couture.

    FNAC, 1st Floor , Av Jean Medecin: Concert tickets
  • Tip Rating:
  • Tickets for all forthcoming major artists performing along the main Riviera towns can be booked here at the FNAC ticket service. Here you will get information on everything happening. Cannes Palais de Festivals is particularly good for world music artists and major international pop performers. And you'll be glad to know the last train from Cannes to Nice at 23.39 will allow you to squeeze in a full concert, including the encore, and still get you home. La Palestre in Le Cannet, the northern suburb of Cannes also plays host to big international artists Nice is a little more oriented to the French audience. The Palais Nikaia usually has good concerts (Rolling Stones anyone?), but don't expect cheap entertainment. Palais Nikiai isn't actually in Nice, its up the Route de Grenoble, in the Var Valley a few miles north of Nice Airport. The good news is that Lignes d'Azur put on a special bus service on concert nights that links the town and the concert hall and gets you home safe and sound

    O'Neills: O'Neills Irish Pub
  • Tip Rating:
  • A really great Irish pub, filled with really nice people, live music and wonderful staff. We started almost every night there, and made several long-lasting friends, before continuing out into the rest of Nice's nightlife. Show football and rugby games and has several famous theme nights.

    Ghost: Ghost
  • Tip Rating:
  • A great place, more quiet place than the most other pubs in the area. Perfect for having a few drinks and still be able to talk with those in your company. They have great DJ:s playing great music and sometimes live jazz bands. The only place with good air conditioning we found, it's located a little out-of-the-way on a small quiet street and is rather hard to find.
