Bars & Pubs in Cannes
There are a number of rooftop lounge bars with great views. Try the roof terrace of the Canopy by Hilton hotel for the best views in town.

The 3.14 hotel offers drinks and a Lebanese restaurant - you need your passport here, part of the casino: views of the Med.
The KA club, on the rooftop of the casino near the old port. is open for after work/beach drinks and you can dance the night away. Stunning views across the old port to Le Suquet. The Baoli has an apero rooftop at Port Canto.
Irish bars are popular including The Quays, Ma Nolans and Morrisons.
Newish watering hole is California, opposite the Palais. It is the sister brasserie-bar to the famous one overlooking the harbour in St Tropez.
The apero – an early evening drink after shopping, work or the beach – is a tradition in the town. Many bars used to offer mouth watering nibbles free with your drinks but sadly most now charge for this calling it "tapas". Happy hours are popular, particularly at the Duke's Pub. Check which drinks are reduced that day. Many beach restaurants have lounge seating areas for drinks.
Gutter Bar
The so called Gutter Bar is situated at 72 Boulevard de la Croisette, just across the street from the Martinez. That's not its real name but the name given to it by journalists at the International Advertising Festival many years ago. Mike Lynch - publisher of Australian magazine, Campaign Brief - says: "We had to drink in the gutter. It's a smart place now with lots of room inside but we - mainly Australians and Brits - still insist on drinking in the gutter".
