Aaaah guinguettes! As soon as the warm weather sets in, they become the Eldorado for Bordeaux residents in search of a change of scenery. As these veritable urban beach bars are THE summer destination par excellence, we’re spotting you the best in town.
1. Chez Alriq
It’s unbeatable. Founded in 1990, Chez Alriq is a veritable institution. 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 sheds, lanterns and world music concerts, it’s guaranteed to be a festive evening.

2. Les Chantiers de la Garonne
Les Chantiers de Garonne has taken over a former boathouse. The place has kept its industrial spirit, with pallet-style wooden furniture. A fine building site, indeed, since it houses a waterside restaurant/bar, a club house 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.
