The Houses of Parliament is one of the best English pubs in Bordeaux. It is a big pub, loved by students and soccer fans who know how to get the party started. Almost every day is a special day with soccer or rugby transmissions, student parties, karaoke or live music, and the pub is almost always completely filled with people. The Houses of Parliament is situated in the well-animated Saint Pierre neighborhood. The pub is also known for its large selection of beer, wine and cocktails. Nightly events also take place from ladies night to trivia/quiz night.
Café Brun is an adorable cafe and bar in a traditional style, between a pub and a French brasserie of yesteryear. The walls are decorated with old ads, pictures and other rarities from the beginning of the 20th Century. This charming spot often hosts jazz bands that bring some swing with them inside these old stone walls, and fit in perfectly with the setting of the cafe - a relaxed place where neighbors, as well as tourists, of all ages come to meet. On the list of beverages you will find a bevy of wines and cocktails, accompanying the nice ambiance.
Le Pub Central is a hot-spot for students and adults alike who want a great place to eat or just grab a drink. This bar in Place Gambetta also serves tea or coffee for those who don't feel like alcohol. The service is friendly and efficient, and crowds are always drawn here on Thursday nights for karaoke! They have a live DJ who spins the background tunes while bar-goers sign up and wait for their turn to sing for the entire pub. There is also terrace seating for those who want to sit in plein air or for those who want to smoke while having a drink.
Being at the Grange makes you feel as though you're in a ski lodge somewhere in the mountains. From the floor to the ceiling everything is made out of wood, with sleds and skis hanging on the wall. The bar is crowded on weekends and a good place to meet people of every age. The swinging ambiance is heated by the pop and rock music, making every evening a special one. The specialty of the Grange is regional French alcohol and liquor at low prices.
