The guide to the best cocktail bars in Bordeaux

Bordeaux is the perfect city for an unforgettable night out! With its lively streets and high-end cocktail bars, this city has everything you need to have fun.

If you want to drink a good cocktail, look no further than the cocktail bars of Bordeaux . Lively city streets such as Rue Sainte-Catherine, Rue du Parlement Saint-Pierre and Rue des Piliers de Tutelle are filled with bars serving the best cocktails in town.

Here, the bartenders are artists, like at theApothek on Rue de Notre Dame, who take their time preparing cocktails using fresh ingredients and syrups made on the spot. They make sure that each drink is prepared according to your preferences, adjusting the ingredients and adding extra flavours to create the perfect drink.

However, beware of the mass-produced pre-mixed cocktails that may be served in some tourist bars. They may look convenient, but they don't taste as good as homemade cocktails. It's like eating a frozen burger rather than a fresh one from a local food truck. You don't want to ruin your evening with a bland drink!

Of course, there are exceptions. There are craft producers who make high quality ready-to-drink cocktails like at cocktail bar Le Cancan on Rue du Cerf-Volent.

So, if you're looking for a fun night out and delicious cocktails, head to the cocktail bars of Bordeaux. But don't forget: don't drink too much or you might end up singing karaoke songs in the Rue des Bahutiers!
