The La Joia in the south of the city is known not only for its wild partying ways, but also for how it almost always manages to take the party outside. The uber cool patio of this popular nightclub sees revelers making a beeline for it every weekend, when celebrity DJs set a superb musical scene and theme partying is the mantra. La Joia is also known for its enjoyable smoke parties.
La Rhumerie is a bar/brasserie right on the Escale Borely, near the beach. The mood there is friendly and welcoming, the food and service are good but it is best to come to chat and sip a drink in the cool shade of a beach umbrella, or to let loose on the dance floor to the DJ’s rhythms. At the Rhumerie there are all sorts of rums, both traditional and infused, cocktails, and the mojito is fixed in five different ways. There are smoothies for those who prefer no alcohol. The Rhumerie is also a private beach in the summer. Theme nights are organized from time to time: singles nights, speed dating, concerts or after-work.
Le Bazar is one of the coolest nightspots in Marseilles and among the most frequented by the city's young crowd. Manager Xavier Mas has an incredibly vivid imagination when it comes to creating ideas for his theme nights. There's an impressive line-up of DJs to inflame Bazar's evenings with their amazing mixes. Special student nights are offered every week with a reduced admission price.
A real institution in the area, this spot opened in the 1960s and has gradually made a name for itself in the region. The regulars are from Cassis, Marseille and Aubagne. Club Big Ben is only a hop skip and a jump from the beach. But attention! Flip-flops are to be put away, as proper attire is required. Entrance is free on Fridays. The setting is trendy, posh and sometimes stiff-necked but really fun for an evening of getting crazy on the dance floor and jamming to techno house beats until the early hours.
"The Trolley", as everyone in Marseille calls it, is undoubtedly the most frequented and symbolic night-time bar in town. Once inside the maze of 4 rooms, in the heart of town, one discovers a fascinating décor: galleries with different types of music, a bowling area and a whisky bar. All the four rooms: Whisky Bar, Abribus, Terminus and Trolley bar offer different delights, some of which are equipped with facilities to host various events:concerts, product launches and so on.There's something for everyone here.
