Address: 15, rue Clare, Bordeaux, FR 33000
A small but hip cafe and bar that serves quick meals and coffee all day, and then turns it up at night when an eclectic crowd shows up to socialize, drink beer, and listen to a diverse array of dance music. Salsa has been particularly popular here lately. The atmosphere is simple and clean, and the vibe is relaxing.

Address: 12, rue des Menuts, Bordeaux, FR 33000
This bar is interesting because of its odd but fun medieval theme, with stone walls, tables made from old barrels, and bold, colorful frescoes from the floor to the soaring ceiling. Theme evenings are popular here, and live music is on tap every Sunday. Good sandwiches and a large variety of inexpensive mixed drinks are offered.

Address: 24, rue des Piliers de Tutelle, Bordeaux, FR 33000
The latest international trend that deems all Latin things "hot" is evident in Bordeaux at this club. Considered one of the hippest places to be seen. Rum-laced drinks and Cuban cigars are plentiful here. Cuban, Latin, and salsa music are a sexy backdrop for watching the fashionable crowd and enjoying some fine tapas. On weekends the tequila is...

Address: 14, place de la Victoire, Bordeaux, FR 33000
This mainstay is open all day every day, and its central location on place de la Victoire makes it a perfect place to meet up en route to your next stop. But stick around for a while first; this bustling bar/cafe was the first in the area to adopt a Latin theme, and the young crowd comes in for tapas and drinks and hangs out for hours. The terrace...

Address: 57, cours de l'Argonne, Bordeaux, FR 33000
Le Barclay is known as a hip hangout for the slightly older set – people looking for a fun bar but who don't want to deal with the college-age crowd. This bar has been around for several years and has established a niche. It serves beer and wine connoisseurs a broad variety of drinks in a comfortable, armchair-dotted establishment. Low-key ska...

Address: 45, rue Saint-James, Bordeaux, FR 33000
This establishment has been a traditional bistro for years, making a name for itself by providing classic Bordeaux bistro fare in a pleasant environment on a lovely square. However, the management has recently begun experimenting with the idea of an "electronic cafe," which means that on certain nights, techno tunes, DJs, flashing lights, and...

Address: 5, rue Parlement Sainte-Catherine, Bordeaux, FR 33000
Beneath the dramatic arched ceilings in this trendy nightspot, patrons peruse lots of pop art such as oddly dressed mannequins and dummies. Because the room is so large with high ceilings, it doesn't feel claustrophobic like many bars do – even when it's packed on the weekends. The drinks are pricier than others, and there is a less ambient...

Address: 35, rue de Pessac, Bordeaux, FR 33000
The name may conjure up images of evil, but the selection of almost 200 beers is heavenly! Nine beers are typically on tap, with the remainder available by the bottle, and each is served in the appropriate shape and style of glass. Something fun is always happening here, with dart competitions on Monday, live music on Wednesday, and numerous...

Address: place Camille Julian, Bordeaux, FR 33000
Dramatic curtains mark your entry into Le Saint Georges, which has recently been redone to reflect a switch from a basic bar to a full-scale party stop. Bold colors and upbeat jazz make the perfect backdrop for a drink and a chat at one of the high tables scattered throughout. Head out to the wrought iron-lined mezzanine to watch the sunset, or on...

Address: 104, cours Aristide Briand, Bordeaux, FR 33000
This laid-back Australian-style bar is popular among English-speakers visiting or living in Bordeaux, including a large number of Aussies and New Zealanders. Fosters is of course the pint of choice, though several other beer options are on tap. Ruby and soccer are frequently shown on the televisions here, and theme parties bring out a rowdier...
