70 /100 BrewDog Nice (Bar) 4 AV. DES PHOCÉENS Big place near centre of town and the Beach. Modern, spacy place, wood, steel, etc. 18-20 taps, 12 or so Brewdog, quite a boring selection, rest geusts, mostly france, but 3 of these out. Good english speaking service, tasters offered befor you buy, some soft sampler set aswell but didnt ask about that. Fairly nice Music as a fitting volume aswell. High prices, even for a dane. Would go again if i pass buy. |
72 /100 BrewDog Nice (Bar) 4 AV. DES PHOCÉENS Visited twice, located near the coast boulevard and not far from the Fontaine du Soleil. Massive venue, neon signs, dark wood, huge tables, typical look, not enough customers to match the size of the venue. I do often wonder how these BrewDog place turn a profit. 12 of their own taps, 8 guests, Untappd verified. Their own beers are 8 – 10 euro price range but some are 33 ml. pours only so once again BrewDog is pricier than anywhere else. Guests are largely French but also a Moersleutel beer for instance. French beers ranged from okay in price to wildly overpriced. Staff was very friendly when interacting and good but were doing mostly their own thing (doing shots of chilling in the bar) most of time so I didn’t know whether I should bother them. Tried the cauliflower wings, overpriced but decent. In general a typical BrewDog experience with the good and the bad, if you want beer not one of the worst options in town. Clientel seemed to be expact for a good part, only place in Nice where people wondered why I tried ordering in French since none of them were French speakers. |
64 /100 14 AVENUE VILLERMONT Zero frills setup – there is a fridge with beers which you can take to go. 3.20 euro per bottle, some discounts for larger pickups. No other info or place to sit, just a brewery. Got a bottle and left, their beer is also sold elsewhere in town and it is quite good and varied, had a smoked IPA and a beer with chickpeas. No need to hit this place unless if you want more of their beer since you can also find it elsewhere. |
70 /100 FOAM (Port Lympia) (Bar) 3 QUAI DES DEUX EMMANUELS There are two different FOAM bars with a similar setup and selection. This one has a great terrace overlooking the harbor. Beer selection is complicated, they have a self-tap selection for which you need to get a special card. 12 taps to tap yourself, not too exiting French options, Tiger & Brooklyn standard offerings. We didn’t bother with the whole self-tap installation, luckily they still have about 40 bottles. Lots of it is not interesting, Kwak, Leffe, Chouffe etc. but a few local beers Socca & Brasserie Artisanale de Nice. Okay service, okay prices, great terrace, we tried the chickpea fries and they were awesome. Beer selection could be a bit sexier but still a comfy place for a beer. |
84 /100 Allez Hops! Cave à Bière (Beer Store) 15 RUE DEFLY Brewery in the back (Brasserie Bleue – not on Brewver), they had 6 taps, 5 of them theirs and also crowlers available. 6 – 7 euro for a 500 ml. pour from the tap. Beers were quite decent. They use the space very efficiently since they also have a terrace, comfy tables to sit at and drink and there is a beer store inside plus a fridge of beers to drink on the spot. Friendly service. Prices were all around good. Beer selection was quite interesting as well, had a French Imperial Whisky BA Gose, also had German beers, British beer with some interesting looking bottles and fair prices. Top spot in town and essential visit. |
84 /100 La Cave Libération - Cave à bières et vins (Beer Store) 2 RUE FLAMINIUS RAIBERTI Wine & beer shop, fridge, not big but good selection for sure and very enthusiastic owner. Looks very new built, pressed wood, squeaky clean & brand new. Found some cool beers from sure like BA specials from Pophin, Piggy, French tonka & fruit sours but also cool imports like La Pirata, USA beers. Okay prices. Hard not to pick up something cool here so definitely worth a visit. It is a small curated shop run by a passionate owner. |
88 /100 Beer District Libération (Bar) 1 PLACE PHILIPPE RANDON The place to be in town for beer and I wasn’t the only one, visited twice on a Saturday and Sunday evening, place was packed. First time they had a DJ and even the outside was all packed, second time Nice was playing Marseille and everyone was looking to change for a better spot all of the time. 18 taps and they commission beers, wheat, pils, IPA, sours, IPA, Stouts, really good selection of almost entirely French craft beer. Prices going about 8 – 11 euro for 500 ml. Enjoyed all the beers that I tried, wine, charcuterie and cheese plates are available, good vibes, local neighborhood atmosphere. A touch more seating might improve it maybe but might also make it too crowded. |
86 /100 Beer district (Bar) 13 RUE CASSINI 16 draught beers. Amazing. Lovely IPAS! You can try a sample before you decide. The menu is just regular food which matchs perfect with beers: onion rings, fries, camembert bites... The enviroment is nice, with hight tables and darts. The toilet are clean (and it has a small tv on it!). |
94 /100 18 CHEMIN DE SAQUIER Given that there are almost no microbreweries in the Nice area, it is great that Blue Coast exists. They make three Artisan beer at there best. The brewery is a refurbished warehouse with a a cool indoor bar with an outdoor terrace. Plus they do have occasional street food venders on site. However, is located in the middle of nowhere and is somewhat confusing to find/access the first time. Great tasting beer created by Roberto kindly and his team who will provide a tour of the brewery and explain the whole process. The brewery is impeccable and there is plenty of space to sit comfortably. Be careful it is good, very good so stay flexible on the elbow! |
78 /100 14 AVENUE VILLERMONT A brewery with a small tasting room / shop with limited opening hours. The owner is nice and passionate and aim's to expand his business. He gives a superb welcome and is happy discuss the brewing processes and offer tasting's. Well worth seeking out. |

76 /100 Beer district (Bar) 13 RUE CASSINI Dfmp |
100 /100 Beer District Libération (Bar) 1 PLACE PHILIPPE RANDON Cool place with friendly staff an lots of beers. I recommand! |
100 /100 Beer district (Bar) 13 RUE CASSINI Amazing staff, cool atmosphere and 16 taps that changes everytime! The beer pong was cool and so the food so it's a yes for me! |
30 /100 Les Distilleries Idéales (Bar) 24, RUE DE LA PRÉFECTURE ce n'est pas un craftbeer ! que des bières industrielles ou pseudo craft rien de bien intéressant pour les amateurs de bières |
50 /100 Beer district (Bar) 13 RUE CASSINI pas convaincu par le choix des bières (brasserie ou micro brasserie très peu connue !), par la lisibilité de la carte et par l'accueil du staff ! |
84 /100 Allez Hops! Cave à Bière (Beer Store) 15 RUE DEFLY A friendly shop with a friendly owner and with a possibility of drinking the beer inside of it. A great many domestic and international bottles, with a quite soothing atmosphere. |
80 /100 Beer district (Bar) 13 RUE CASSINI The place was cool but some foreign tourists made it really noisy when we visited it. Had plenty of taps and some bottles, the bartender was nice. Nothing special but a fine bar in Nice. |
84 /100 Beer District Libération (Bar) 1 PLACE PHILIPPE RANDON It seems to be a newly opened bar at district Libération in Nice, with a well designed furniture. It has 16 taps including locals and foreigns as well. The bartender is a great guy, atmosphere is cool and they offer tastings before buying, which makes having beer unique. |
78 /100 Allez Hops! Cave à Bière (Beer Store) 15 RUE DEFLY Mooie ruime winkel, met een uitgebreid assortiment speciale bieren 50 procent locaal en 50 procent Internationale bieren. Genoeg keuze ook in de hier minder gangbare stijlen. Prijzen zijn vergelijkbaar met andere winkels in deze omgeving. naast de winkel is hier ook een. Kleine brouwerij aanwezig waar een eigen bier gebrouwen wordt. |
8 /100 14 AVENUE VILLERMONT CLOSED !!! |
90 /100 Allez Hops! Cave à Bière (Beer Store) 15 RUE DEFLY This store had the best range of French craft beer that we could find on our travels through Provence and the French Rivera. Tidy modern interior with all of the merchandise neatly displayed. The proprietor was very helpful and obviously a native English speaker. He was able to pick out several interesting local beers that suited my drinking style. Make sure you stop in here when in Nice. |
36 /100 De Klomp (Bar) 6, RUE MASCOINAT Around half of the taps (4 of them) are empty, the remainings contain a few grimbergen beers and 1 or 2 macro lagers. They have some bottles, as well but the the menu does not list them and most of them are not visible in the fridge (what I could see was not too promising: Heineken and other lagers, as well as some widely available Belgian beers); will not visit again for sure |
36 /100 Blue Whales (Bar) 1 RUE MASCOINAT Currently they have 3 beers on tap: Guinness, Leffe Ruby and a Kronenbourg lager...no comment... |
86 /100 Allez Hops! Cave à Bière (Beer Store) 15 RUE DEFLY Great selection of French craft beers, a lot of well-known other masterpieces and some beers from quite exotic countries like Togo, or Mauritius; very friendly prices compared to the Cote d'Azur average; definitely worth visiting |
54 /100 Le Grand Café de Lyon (Bar) 33 AV. J. MEDECIN Acceptable selection for high prices; would not be my first place to visit in Nice but good fpr a midday coffee and a glass of beer |
66 /100 Les Distilleries Idéales (Bar) 24, RUE DE LA PRÉFECTURE Great ambiance, not an extremely wide but still acceptable beer selection; a bit overpriced |
60 /100 Mori’s Bar (Bar) 5, RUE DE FRANCE Npt too wide selection of beers, but the food is ok; a bit overpriced |
94 /100 Beer district (Bar) 13 RUE CASSINI 16 beers on tap and plenty bottles - and an extremely friently bartender |
98 /100 Beer district (Bar) 13 RUE CASSINI The beer bar that Nice has been thirsty for! Great location, just between Place Garibaldi and the Port. 16 taps with beers local and from around the world - crazy interesting beers that you’ll find only in this bar. Bravo! Merci! |
94 /100 Beer district (Bar) 13 RUE CASSINI Great place, Great people, Great music. Finally a craft beer bar in Nice! |
88 /100 Allez Hops! Cave à Bière (Beer Store) 15 RUE DEFLY Nouvelle cave à bières sur Nice, une ville où il est malheureusement difficile de devenir un amateur éclairé. L’ouverture de la boutique est donc une excellente opportunité, d’autant plus que les propriétaires sont vraiment charmants et n’hésiteront pas à vous conseiller si nécessaire. Le choix est large, avec des classiques comme de l’import de tous les pays. Le focus est fait sur les brasseries artisanales du quart Sud-Est de la France, ce qui permet de découvrir de nombreuses productions artisanales méconnues jusqu’alors. Les prix sont très raisonnables et font de Allez Hops! l’adresse numéro 1 à Nice. |
84 /100 Allez Hops! Cave à Bière (Beer Store) 15 RUE DEFLY Wandered through here with friends and got a few beers from the region and a few others. Proprietor (from the US) was helpful and friendly and the store was nicely set up and well stocked.
Unfortunately the local craft beers I bought ranged from pour-down-the-drain undrinkable to "Meh, ok"; I’d like to give him a higher rating, but worry a little about his selection and possible temperature storage issues. In his defense, the beer we sampled with him was great! |
44 /100 De Klomp (Bar) 6, RUE MASCOINAT I was sure I had rated this place before, somehow my rating has disappeared. Dark and not very attractive place in the Old Town - still one of the better places for Belgian beers in Nice. |
100 /100 Allez Hops! Cave à Bière (Beer Store) 15 RUE DEFLY I think you have to rate some place relative to where it is, the context. There is almost NO beer in Southern France. Happened to stumble on this place just roaming Nice. They had been open 3 days. The proprietor was on site. Chicago ex-pat. Great selection of regional beer along with a few from other regions (Rogue, Brew Dog). The emphasis on regional brews was fantastic. The staff (owner) really knew his stock. Put this place in the middle of Atlanta or DC and it is not going to garner a super high rating. But is in an oasis in a desert. Real IPAs and regional variations. Fun Triples etc. with a place that specifically opened to celebrate beer. It is absolutely top notch. You will walk in here and find 40-50 beers that you will not find anywhere else in Souther France, that is impressive.
Can’t say enough about how nice this place was. Cool interior and they are still building it out. Staff were fantastic. I walked out with a great 6 pack for a very, very reasonable price and look forward to enjoying it tonight. If I were in Nice longer, I would be back to sample the rest.
You have to look this place up if you are coming through and desperate for something other than Leffe, 1664 et. |
58 /100 Les Distilleries Idéales (Bar) 24, RUE DE LA PRÉFECTURE It is on the way from the arch entrance to old town and Albert Hotel in old town Nice, during free time in a walking tour of Nice. Service seemed average, was not busy at 1pm on a Friday. Most taps I saw on this path which was open this early. Medium sized indoor bar area and nice size outdoor seating. With the limited time and selection I did not have a beer, but would check this out again if in the area. Prices seemed reasonable. |
60 /100 Les Distilleries Idéales (Bar) 24, RUE DE LA PRÉFECTURE Whilst in Nice old town for the day and finding other higher rated RB places closed in the afternoon, I visited Les Distilleries Ideales. Around a dozen beers on tap and half dozen bottles, so range not massive but certainly enough for our visit. Service was good, place had a good vibe with a mix of age ranges and tourist/locals. Worth a look when in Nice. |
88 /100 Le Big Ben (Bar) 9, RUE ALBERTI Pub sympa avec un choix immense de bière en bouteille. Les prix sont par contre un peu cher 7€50 en moyenne la bouteille. Le serveur est très sympathique. Le bar est un bar calme. |
54 /100 Mori’s Bar (Bar) 5, RUE DE FRANCE I didn’t plan to visit this place but i was just passing by and i decided to sit outside - service not interested in any quick talk about food paring or anything - there was a huge fight about main dish between one of the waiters and client, who wasn’t happy about his dinner. Selection ok, mainly belgium beers, sone german and english standards. $$ ok |
62 /100 Vini Mundo (Bar) 32 AVENUE DE LA REPUBLIQUE This is NOT a beer bar. When this is said, I must admit, I kind of fell in love with this little wine bar. Why is that? Well, they did have only two bottles to choose from, when I was there in the springtime about Easter, so the selection is/was poor, but it was bottles from the norwegian brewery Nøgne Ø, and especially their #500, an Imperial IPA. When you had been around the city, looking for some bitter beers like IPAs or the likes of that and didn’t managed to find anything, you did feel like finding a church for your thirst. This fact and the fact, that the venue is situated in a very nice street, cozy and kind of quiet although it’s a big street. Visit it in the afternoon, from 12-15, to sit in the sun outside in the nice outside furnitures.
The hostess didn’t know much about the beers or beers in general, as their priority is at wines and the restaurant. But she was very polite and suggested me another place, a real beer-bar down the centre of the old town. At my second visit at Vini Mundo (had to have that #500), she guided me to a third beer bar in the near of this one.
At the downside: The poor selection as I mentioned, and then the prices. I paid 10 € for a beer and that’s expensive even in Denmark.
Even though I’d probably would revisit the place the next time I’m in Nice. |
72 /100 Aperitiv (Grocery Store) 4 RUE CASSINI Cozy little place. Not that many beers, but some from brewers i don’t know. I was in dire need of some stout/porters, but they didn’t have that many at the time I did however find a few.
The man whi helped me was very polite and informative, spoke good english, and did come with some good recommendations.
I left the place with a few good beers and a bottle of Calvados. |
30 /100 Vini Mundo (Bar) 32 AVENUE DE LA REPUBLIQUE My wife and I saw the review on this page and decided to check out the bar as we are vacationing in Nice. They had two beers and both in the bottle. This is a wine establishment I’m rating it super low as this website is ratebeer and not rate wine. |
72 /100 Blue Whales (Bar) 1 RUE MASCOINAT This was the place I liked the best in Nice and I only stumbled across it by accident after finding the two other pubs in this street in the old town closed. It had apparently only just re-opened after refurbishment and it looked very nice and clean. They have a few British and Belgian beers here including a guest beer which, when I was there, was DNA a collaboration beer from Dogfish Head/Charles Wells. The landlord, an Englishman, was extremely friendly and welcoming as were all the other staff who were so numerous they almost outnumbered the customers. He told me that he was hoping to get some locallly-brewed beer in future. They have a couple of TV screens showing sport downstairs and upstairs. They have a wide range of spirits and cocktails in addition to the beer. The beers I felt were quite reasonably priced for France. If I lived in Nice this would be my local, no doubt. |
58 /100 Le Big Ben (Bar) 9, RUE ALBERTI This is the only really beery place that I came across in NIce. In style it looks like a British pub - hence the name. They have a quite significant list of beers, mostly from Belgium, but also from France and elsewhere and even have a couple of their own house beers; a blond and an amber. I tried the amber which was OK, but no more. There were specials and seasonal beers advertised. They play blues and rock music and there were snacks available. The barmaid/waitress, however, seemed to know nothing about beer. When I asked her if they had any local beers she just listed the usual French beers like Pelforth and Desperados and even included a Belgian beer, Chimay, in the list. She couldn’t count out my change either so maybe she was new. I didn’t find any local beers here or anywhere else in Nice. For anybody looking for a decent pub atmosphere and a selection of good beers this has to be the best so far in this town which the international beer revolution has apparently not yet reached. |
42 /100 Les Distilleries Idéales (Bar) 24, RUE DE LA PRÉFECTURE This place in the old town is obviously fairly trendy with younger, hipper people. My wife and I were probably the oldest customers in there, but I liked the ambiance in general. Unfortunately the choice of beers was very poor and we ended up ordering rum instead of beer. I was surprised when it closed at midnight which I thought was early for a place like that. |
28 /100 Le Grand Café de Lyon (Bar) 33 AV. J. MEDECIN Another typical French café in a shopping street with a big terrace, this one on the main street. I was quite disappointed by the place as it looked like it might be nice, but it wasn’t. There was a fair selection of Belgian and French beer, but nothing special and more expensive than elsewhere. |
24 /100 Mori’s Bar (Bar) 5, RUE DE FRANCE This place has a reasonable selection of Belgian beers and a few more besides from France and elsewhere. The terrace on the busy shopping street was crowded, but not with beer lovers. The service was surly and unhelpful. |
