La Rochelle - Bars & Nightlife
La Rochelle at night is busy and eclectic, especially from July to September. Most of the happenings are centred in the old town and the old harbour, from quai Duperré to cours des Templiers. It becomes a big pedestrian zone, with many street performers and a fun atmosphere. It’s a good start before moving to one of the many pubs or bars, which feature live concerts, and for those who love dancing, there are some great night clubs to go to for the rest of the night. There is also a casino for the gamblers!
Corrigan’s
There is always something going on at the Corrigan’s, in a typical Irish atmosphere with good beer and a huge jukebox.
Fitzpatrick’s
Opposite the old harbour, it’s another great Irish pub where all the visiting yachts’ crews gather, both British and French, local and visiting. A good time is guaranteed especially during quiz nights!
The General Humbert’s
La Rochelle isn’t a big city, yet it is home to many great Irish pubs! This is another one, with again all the perfect ingredients and the legendary Guinness pints!
Le Cohiba
Tired of beer? Try this Cuban-themed bar and disco, featuring two floors of great Latino music and a wide range of exotic cocktails.
Le Piano Pub
One of the most popular venues among the youth for its regular rock concerts that keep everyone entertained, in a nice English wood and leather décor.
Le Mayflower
Next to the Piano Pub, it’s also a very popular and busy venue, in a loud and friendly atmosphere.
Oxford
Situated on the beach with an exotic papagayo décor, this is one of the most popular nightclubs among the student community.
