Just like Paris's renowned Café de Flore, La Samaritaine - situated on the corner of the Vieux-Port at the lower end of Rue de la République - has managed to hold onto its old-fashioned charm. And it's easy to see why, with its 1930s-style décor, deliciously light, traditional cuisine, piano bar and fabulous terrace looking out over the boats moored in the harbor making it the perfect rendezvous, no matter what time of day. The bar closes at 8:30 pm generally, but is open until midnight during the summer months.
Come to Le Scat Club if you have a penchant for good, solid, live bands. Every style is featured here, but the emphasis is on jazz. Pop, rock, rhythm and blues, funk, and sometimes classical are styles that are also showcased. When the live music is taking a break, DJs do their thing to get people dancing. The neat thing about Scat Club is the actual building itself. The inside resembles a 17th-Century cellar, with a low, arched, stone ceiling--very smoky and atmospheric, but this can also be a problem if you are claustrophobic, and it can also get quite hot. You probably won't find any teenagers here, as the crowd gravitates toward the thirty-somethings. Check website for performance schedule.
Perched on the first floor of l'Hôtel Bellevue is La Caravelle. Vieux-Port is beautiful, and the balcony seating at La Caravelle makes it all the more charming.

It's also worth doubling back to La Caravelle in the evening for the live jazz performances(October to May). With the sunset vista of Vieux-Port and the Basilique Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde, fine whiskey in hand and complimentary tapas as amuse-bouche, nothing hits the spot better. The good things in life can be free.
