Whilst there aren't a whole load of options for a late night adventure in Bonifacio, the few spots that are open through the wee hours have a lot to offer in the way of atmosphere and quality. If however, the underground and open-air bars of Hotel La Caravelle get stale, the neighbouring town of Porto-Vecchio is just a short trip away and a great alternative for those in search of live music and traditional Corsican cultural events. Back in Bonifacio where the beautiful streets are illuminated throughout the night, all the romantics out there can take a midnight walk and soak up the serenity of the city.

Via Notte

Via Notte

Just outside of Bonifacio but well worth the journey for all night owls lies Via Notte, one of the biggest open-air clubs in Europe. This behemoth discotheque welcomes prestigious celebrities such as David Guetta, Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent to show off their world class musical talent. On quieter days, the club serves as a melting pot for all locals and tourists who partake in the party lifestyle.

Le Cellier

Le Cellier

Located in the bowels of the 13th century chapel at Hotel La Caravelle, Le Cellier is an exceptional piano bar featuring well known musicians and exotic cocktails. What was once a popular haunt for sailors and fishermen to meditate in before they set sail is now filled with enchanting tweaks and trims, creating an atmosphere perfect for those looking to unwind and enjoy some mellow tunes echoed by cavernous acoustics.

B52

B52

Another addition from the emblematic Hotel La Caravelle, the brightly decorated B52 is a popular spot amongst Bonifacians for its 'go big or go home' attitude, a mantra which is pasted in neon lettering throughout the bar. It organises open-air parties every summer and invites famous bands and DJs like Joachim Garraud to attend. The menu at this beer garden features sushi, tapas, cocktails and of course, lots of beer.

Galerie des Ducs

Galerie des Ducs

What was once an art gallery has been tastefully transformed into a bar specialising in the tried and tested trifecta of cheese, ham and wine. Also on the menu, a refreshing selection of cured meats, tapas and other tempting hors d'oeuvres to accompany an extensive drinks menu. There is even a selection of cigars on offer for those so inclined. Despite being located in one of Bonifacio's busiest areas, this venue offers an oasis of tranquility surrounded by breathtaking views.

La Taverne du Roi

La Taverne du Roi

Despite being a 30 minute drive from Bonifacio, a visit to La Taverne du Roi is highly recommended to get a glimpse of the local heroes of Corsica in action. This buzzing live music bar consistently exudes good vibes and chilled drinks to keep guests happy as they rock the night away. It is definitely the place to go to get a taste of typical Corsican music and show off some slick dance moves.
