La Dame Noir [VII]
The Bordeaux iteration of the French vogue for floating bars has a chilled vibe at the deck bar and a bone fide club space below, where the crowd party late.
Le Parvis
A particularly good choice for entertaining in this business area: its wine bar is a favoured spot of the local professional set. Really top drawer.
La Comtesse
Another fine example of eccentric Bordeaux bar culture. Enjoy conversations late into the night, fine cocktails and an appreciative international clientele.
CanCan Coquetels & Flonflons
A must for hipsters of all ages. Its unusual interior walks a singular path and its cocktails are highly regarded by some of the most influential bar critics.
La Plage
Efficiently run large venue popular with a mixed, mainly younger, crowd. If the throb of the main rooms is too much for you, head for the lounge bar.
