Bordeaux · Nightlife

A rehabilitated barracks at 87 quai des Queyries on the right bank: organic bistro, secondhand shops and a 300-capacity indoor skatepark, closed Mondays.

The densest run of bars in the old centre, spilling out onto the square in warm weather.

Clubs and late bars in the old abattoir district south of Saint-Jean station, which is where the night ends.

The old wine-merchant quarter north of the centre, now small bars with long natural wine lists.

Several hotel and warehouse rooftops face the Garonne, and sunset over the water is the entire point.
