Nîmes - Bars & Nightlife
The squares and alleys of Old Town are full of bars, but there are few clubs. For a city with a population of only 130 000, the nightlife is surprisingly good – especially in the summer.
Le Victor Hugo
This popular bar/club attracts both those who want to party and those who simply want to listen to a hip French house DJ. Lays claim to being one of the most popular places in Nîmes.
Au Bureau
Despite its name, this is a British-style pub, complete with pints of beer and a popular, and cheap, bar menu. Folksy and fun.
Le Petit Media
This club gets regular visits from established French dance DJs. Large dance floors, large speakers and a young crowd.
Le Haddock Café
The city’s intellectuals of all ages, like to frequent this combined bar and rock club. Live bands and other entertainment are offered. Keep an eye out for flyers or look for the listings in the Nîmescope paper.
Le Wine Bar
With over one hundred different wines available by the glass, Le Wine Bar is popular with wine connoisseurs. Others will also appreciate the art nouveau bar with its leather sofas, mahogany panels and painted lamps. Le Wine Bar also serves good food.
