Very late to the craft cocktail scene, Aix finally has a bar that stands up to its sophisticated cousins in Marseille or even Paris. While there are 10 refreshing and original choices on the cocktail menu, the bartender is happy to customize a drink to your taste, offering helpful tips on rare or unusual spirits (there is no beer or wine served here). The cozy room, complete with comfy chairs and sofas, has a friendly vibe and the outdoor tables are lovely on hot Provence nights.
Delicious ambrosias like the Japan Airlines (mezcal, coriander, and ginger) or the Sans Nom (gin, yuzu, ginger and exotic spices) served in the half-light of this atmospheric spot—a kind of chic Mediterranean-style tiki bar—are a big draw in town. A menu of small gourmet plates that are as creative as the drinks changes by the week.
If you appreciate the art of craft cocktails, this is your place. The staff is passionate about top-notch ingredients and surprising flavor pairings, so the drinks here are quite simply sublime. You can even take a class to learn how to make the perfect cocktail at home.
Fine Mediterranean cuisine, cocktails, live or DJ music, and dancing till the wee hours all come together at this chic city center bar and restaurant.
This lively, colorful bar serves bites to share and signature and personalized craft cocktails and mocktails, including imaginative takes on the classic negroni and martini. There’s also beer on tap, a good wine list, music, and an outdoor terrace.
A loft-like interior, 18 craft beers on tap, and tapas plates to accompany the cocktails makes this place popular with an eclectic crowd. Things really get going after 9 pm when they roll out the jam sessions.
