Perched upon the pebbly beach, this lively beach bar serves all the right cocktails for an afternoon tipple. Shaded by the milky white and blue parasols, take a seat on one of the plush sofas, soak in the last of the sun’s rays and sip on an ice-cold Aperol spritz while watching the bikini-clad elite waltz up and down the beach.

Not the cheapest cocktail bar but definitely worth it for the top-notch panoramic views of the Med. Located on the 10th floor of Le Meridien Hotel, this sleek bar is a mix of contemporary Mediterranean flavours and sparkling cocktails. Sit back with a long drink while watching the sun go down over the bay.

This live music bar is a big hit with those looking to dance late into the night. The decor is simple; wooden floors and ornate rugs with a mezzanine upstairs overlooking the performance area. It’s an unpretentious, laid-back version of the majority of the going out venues in Nice. Go there for great cocktails and an even better time.
