While we often (and happily) find ourselves with a glass of red wine in hand, it would be a mistake to neglect the works of art that are often the cocktails created by Bordeaux’s mixologists. On the terrace with friends at the weekend, at afterwork with colleagues or on a date with your crush, Bordeaux’s cocktail bars fill our evenings with wonder, thanks to elaborate creations worthy of the greatest. But where can you sip the best cocktails in Bordeaux? We’ll guide you to the pinnacle of Bordeaux creativity with our selection of the city’s best cocktail bars, just for you!
1. Symbiose
A veritable institution for lovers of decadent cocktails and fine cuisine, Symbiose welcomes you to its intimate, timeless cocktail bar hidden behind the restaurant. On the menu, you’ll find nearly 15 creations in herbaceous, floral or exotic flavors. Our favorite: Le beurre et l’argent du beurre, made with almond butter, CBD and absinthe! A perfectly original treat in an ethical venue committed to zero waste. True luxury.
4 Quai des Chartrons, 33000 Bordeaux
2. Madame Pang

Are you torn between a good Asian restaurant and a place to enjoy delicious cocktails? Look no further: rare as the concept may be, it now exists, thanks to Madame Pang. The idea is to bring together the best of both worlds, offering delicious Dim Sum with a cocktail menu inspired by Hong Kong culture. Right on target.
16 Rue de la Devise, 33000 Bordeaux
3. Point Rouge
Created by cocktail historian Fernando Castellon, the Point Rouge menu is a veritable goldmine for mixology enthusiasts.

From London’s Corpse Reviver N°2 to Cuba’s Mulata, every part of the world is represented, so you can find the cocktail of your dreams. An unusual experience that will make you want to return again and again!
1 Quai de Paludate, 33800 Bordeaux
4. Ayawasca cocktail club

If the name refers to this hallucinogenic concoction from South America, you can rest assured that the only trip you’ll be taking through the door of this bar is a one-way ticket to paradise. In a sophisticated yet friendly atmosphere, Ayawasca’s cocktails are prepared by true professionals who will be delighted to adapt their recipes to your desires. Special mention must go to the Dry Gin Martini, which is undoubtedly the best in town!
19 Rue des Bahutiers, 33000 Bordeaux
5. La Drôlerie
Right in the heart of Bordeaux, La Drôlerie is above all a warm and welcoming place that sublimates local produce. So it’s hardly surprising that the cocktail menu is particularly affordable. Curban Sour, Red Bobine or Violetta, all cocktails are to die for and never cost more than 10 euros, even for the house creations! A pretty solid selling point these days…
28 Rue Parlement Saint-Pierre, 33000 Bordeaux
6. Motto bar
Undoubtedly the bobbiest of them all, but we love it. With vinyls everywhere, artists invited to mix and an attractive cocktail menu featuring all the classics, we couldn’t dream of anything better. The little extra: a super-cozy terrace to relax on when the sun comes out!
33 Rue Piliers de Tutelle, 33000 Bordeaux
7. Les Marquises
A speakeasy decor, live piano music and a warm ambience– that’s the promise of Les Marquises cocktail bar. A haven for bon vivants, the place is popular with locals and tourists alike, and never seems to be empty. And it’s all in the company of the friendly staff who have contributed to its reputation. How about another Kika Colada?
12 Quai de la Monnaie, 33800 Bordeaux
8. Le Papillon
Inspired by Californian culture, everything that comes out of Le Papillon’s kitchen and bar is meticulously prepared with fresh, quality produce. In the very L.A. vibe that emanates from the restaurant, enjoy cocktails so beautiful you’ll almost be afraid to touch them. With bright colors, original glasses and flowers to adorn it all, the drinks here are truly to die for!
8 Quai des Chartrons, 33000 Bordeaux
9. Quartier B

Describing itself as a musical and culinary hub, somewhere between a restaurant and a hip-hop bar, Quartier B seduces by regularly inviting artists from all horizons. But while we obviously appreciate the quality of its guests, we stay for its delicious cocktail creations.
Our favorite: the house Gin Tonic made with Saint Germain and violet syrup… A slightly retweeted classic that always makes an impression.
32 Rue du Cancera, 33000 Bordeaux
