Discothèque Les Tritons

Discothèque Les Tritons

The nightlife venue is one of the city's several nightclubs, with a well-stocked bar and dance beats inviting party-makers to the busy dance floor. The venue attracts guests of a diverse age range and isn't a haunt for the student population alone.

Mc Guigan's

This Irish pub is run by an actual Irishman, who often hesitates little to join guests for some friendly banter. The pub offers live music, good food and, of course, beer. You are guaranteed a good time at Mc Guigan's regardless whether you come on your own or as a part of a group.

The Dubliners

The Dubliners

The Dubliners is a decent, low-key pub with a pleasant atmosphere and a large selection of beers (Guinness, naturally, included). Some quintessentially French pub food is available to guests, such as delicious local sausages. Live sports are broadcast on wall TVs.

L'Arena Brasserie

L'Arena Brasserie

This sports-themed cafe is set at an elevation, overlooking the bay of Brest. It's very popular with the young crowd and gets packed on days of big games — live sports broadcasts are the establishment's main draw. L'Arena Brasserie serves decent pub grub and mouthwatering burgers.

Casa Havana

Casa Havana

For a good mojito and Latin music, head to Casa Havana, where spirits are high every day of the week and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in particular — this is when the establishment hosts salsa classes. Serves good tapas, cocktails, cider and beer on tap.

The very casual Le 54 is a good spot for a friendly get together, a relaxed venue where live sports are broadcast and international holidays — such as St. Patrick's Day — are celebrated wholeheartedly. It's a locals' haunt, with a decent drink list and both in -and outdoor seating.

The Tara Inn

The Tara Inn

This pleasant Irish pub is a noteworthy location for a night out listening to Celtic tunes played live by guest musicians. Apart from the authentic music, the pub offers a good selection of beers and a very warm welcome to its international patrons.

L'Happy Café

L'Happy Café

One of Brest's liveliest bars and certainly its most well-known gay bar at the moment, the L'Happy Café welcomes a very diverse clientele to its frequent rowdy parties. Karaoke nights are very much a thing, and so are the jukebox nights, when guests are welcome to select music oldies of choice.

Les Fauvettes

Les Fauvettes

Les Fauvettes is an atmospheric bar known for its truly staggering beer selection — the wall behind the bar is quite a sight to examine with the incredible variety of international beer bottles represented. The bar also boasts an extensive selection of whisky.
