Another authentic feeling British pubs in Nice, Big Ben offers a much more relaxed atmosphere than most of the others in town. If you want to avoid blaring lights, booming music, and gyrating bodies and instead want to relax with a cold pint in a traditional, friendly atmosphere, then this is the place to do it. That said, there is also live music and dancing some nights, so it also makes for a good compromise bar when traveling in a group with mixed ideas for nightlife. There is long beer list as well as a range of whiskeys and traditional cocktail options. Good food is available, as well, including English-style favorites such as steak tartare and a variety of pastries, teas and coffees. Come between 5:30pm and 7:30pm to partake in happy hour.
