Rouen

Spread over five different floors, this cool bar also offers dancing and dining. Here you can have a few drinks in a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere while listening to some soft tunes.

If you are a beer devotee, you will probably love La Boîte à bières. This bar has a wide range of imported beers and whiskeys, to choose from. You can also grab a snack if you are hungry and join in on the quiz and karaoke nights.

Le Saxo tops the list of Rouen's music bars. Here you can enjoy some great drinks while listening to live music of various genres. Live jazz is played on some Thrusdays, and most Friday & Saturday nights see further live performances.

With its location in close proximity to the old market square, Les BerThoM is hard to miss, and it would have been a shame – with its regular rotation of tap beers and jovial vibe, its an easy nightlife favourite for a night of casual fun.

The international franchise has recently beaten the world record for the sheer number of beer varieties on offer, boasting a total of 3162. The Rouen instalment doesn't quite offer the same variety, and yet still plenty of tap and bottled beers to last you well into the night. Located right next to the Gros Horloge.
