Blue Whales Bar in Nice
Blue Whales Bar

Nice has no shortage of bars and clubs, and the best of them tend to be in the old town. To help you figure out where to go, here are my recommendations for the best nightlife in Nice:

1. Les 3 Diables
Address: 2, cours Saleya, Nice, 06300, France

Les 3 Diables in Nice is a great place for dancing the night away. With two stories and a balcony overlooking the Cours Saleya, Les 3 Diables offers karaoke, student nights (reduced cover with student ID), all-night happy hours, and a regular schedule of special events.

2. L’Escalier
Address: 10, rue de la Terrasse, Nice, 06300, France

L’Escalier in Nice is a huge underground space between the Cours Saleya and the Promenade des Anglais. With its laid-back atmosphere, it is a great place to listen to live music or play billiards.

3. Blue Whales
Address: 1, rue Mascoinat, Nice, 06300, France

With live music every night, the Blue Whales bar in Nice is the most popular nightlife spot for the after-hours scene. Head over after a night out at Wayne’s or L’Escalier.

4. Wayne’s
Address: 15, rue de la Prefecture, Nice, 06300, France

Wayne’s (aka Chez Wayne or Wayne’s Bar) is by far the most famous bar in Nice. Visitors come for the great live music, extensive drink menu, and always-packed scene. With regular ladies’ nights and other special events, Wayne’s is a popular place to go any night of the week.
