Aaaah guinguettes! As soon as the warm weather arrives, they become the Eldorado for Bordeaux residents in search of a refreshing change of scenery. As these veritable urban beach bars are THE summer destination par excellence, we’re spotting you the best in town.
1. At Alriq
It’s unbeatable. At Alriq, it’s an institution that dates back to 1990. Located in the heart of the Parc des Angéliques, it’s the ideal spot for chilling out on the banks of the Garonne. With its wooden cabins, lanterns and world music concerts, it’s guaranteed to be a festive evening.

2. Building sites on the Garonne
Chantiers de Garonne has taken over a former boathouse. Moreover, the place has kept the industrial spirit with pallet-style wooden furniture. A fine project indeed, since the site will house a waterside restaurant/bar, a clubhouse and a brasserie. Enjoy seafood with your feet in the sand, or savor an organic beer– it’s all possible on this private beach in Port de la Lune.

4. La Belle Saison
La Belle Saison is the promise of a gourmet summer break on the terrace in the shade of the natural banks of the Garonne. Enjoying an aperitif/tapas with your feet in the water in the cabanon, with a panoramic view of historic Bordeaux to boot, is our new summer goal.
