Bars & Pubs in Cannes - Irish, English, Trendy Cocktail
There are a number of rooftop lounge bars with great views. Try the roof terrace of the Radisson Blu hotel for the best views in town. Next the Five hotel for great views of the rooftops of Cannes. 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 is open for after work/beach drinks and you can dance the night away. Stunning views across the old port to Le Suquet.
English pubs French style... include The Kingdom and the Black Pearl.
Irish bars are popular including The Quays, Ma Nolans and Morrisons.
The latest watering hole, opened this year in time for the Film Festival, 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 with many bars offering mouth watering nibbles free with your drinks. Sadly, due to the lingering recession many places now charge for "tapas".

La Chunga Bar & Restaurant
This is a Cannes institution and is only one of two all night restaurants - it closes at 5am. It has live music and its own very special fun atmosphere. It was founded in 1958, its heyday was the 70/80s but is now owned by two of Cannes' great nightlife gurus.
It is opposite the Martinez Hotel on the rue Latour Maubourg
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 - now 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".
The Quays Irish Pubs
In the old Cannes port there is an Irish pub called the Quays which serves Guinness, Murphys, Fosters and Amstel. Customers include visiting yachtsmen. Happy Hour, 5pm to 8pm. Staff are mainly Irish and Australian. Big screens show major sports events and it's open till 2am. |
Z Plage
The Z Plage on the Croisette is the very upmarket beach bar belonging to the Martinez Hotel and has become an apero institution since it opened. It is open all day and remains open in the evening during July and August. Be warned the staff are very chic and so are the clients! Best clobber recommended - whether beachwear or clothes. Don't forget your credit card. |
Cafe des Halles
For an earlier drink Cafe des Halles is situated at 1 Place Marché Forville right by the market of the same name. Stallholders and visitors alike pop in for a drink during the morning. Tel: 04 93 39 01 10 |
