Throughout the summer, Nice is a vibrant city with plenty to see and do, even at night! Take advantage of the warm summer evenings by enjoying a delicious cocktail or dancing the night away. No matter what your party style is, there is a place for you.
I have divided the areas into three categories so, depending on what you’re looking for, you can easily find the right atmosphere.
Daytime Parties & Cocktails
Not much for late nights? Looking to party in the summer sun? Then this is the category for you!
Beach Bars
One of the main attractions in Nice is the Promenade des Anglais, which stretches 7 km between the airport and Port Lympia. Along this stretch, you’ll find beautiful blue sea and a variety of beach restaurants and bars. Whether you’re looking to do some dancing or just enjoy a cocktail in the sun, these are great options. As you walk along the promenade, you’ll often hear DJs creating the perfect atmosphere for a daytime party. The beach bars often change year to year and are open from May until October, so I’m excited to see what new places open this season!
Rooftops
Most rooftops open from May until late September. Rooftop parties usually start in the late afternoon and go until after sunset—my personal favorites are at Radisson Blu on the Promenade. While not all rooftops host parties, most have DJs or live music to enhance the ambiance.
These beach bars and rooftops are often more expensive than the other areas mentioned in this list, but the experience is well worth the price.
Rue de France
Next on the list is not necessarily an area for partying, but it’s a great place to enjoy a drink and take advantage of happy hour. At night, the pedestrian street of Rue de France is lined with restaurants and bars serving a variety of cuisines. During the day, the vibe is much more relaxed. While many restaurants only offer dinner service, there are still plenty of options for a casual drink. This is the perfect area to enjoy a snack while people-watching. Wander along and see what fun spots you discover.
Dance the Night Away
After a day relaxing in the sun, you may be looking to let loose and dance the night away. If so, these are the places for you!
Vieux Nice (Old Town)
After sunset, you’ll notice a variety of hidden bars opening their doors throughout the Old Town. Whether you’re searching for a casual pub or a fancy cocktail, you’ll find it here. If you want to dance, be sure to head to Wayne’s! By day, it offers a casual pub atmosphere; at night, it transforms into a wild party. Usually, there’s a DJ playing hits from the 2000s, and dancing on the tables is encouraged. Some nights feature live music—just check their schedule to see what’s on.
High Club
A popular option among younger partygoers is High Club, located on the Promenade des Anglais. This club features international DJs, themed nights, and live shows every weekend. Even though there are three floors, each with its own vibe, it does get quite packed! Keep in mind that there is a “smart casual” dress code that is enforced.
Where the Locals Go
Want to party with locals and check out places not overrun by tourists? Here are the top party areas where the people of Nice let loose.
Port Lympia
Located just a short walk from Vieux Nice, the colorful Port Lympia is filled not only with luxury yachts but also lots of fun places for a night out. From cocktail bars and tapas restaurants to DJ sets and salsa dancing, there are plenty of cool spots to experience. Port Lympia is also great to explore during the day and offers a variety of cafes and restaurants.
Rue Bonaparte
A short walk from Port Lympia brings you to Rue Bonaparte, also known as the Blue Street. This pedestrian-only street is packed with eateries and cocktail bars, especially in the evenings during summer. If you want to check out several places, this is a great area, as each venue is right next to the next—if one is full, just move on to another. Wander along and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of a summer night out in Nice.
Gare du Sud
Next on the list is an absolute hidden gem! If you follow along Jean Médecin, you’ll reach the Liberation district. In an old train station, you’ll find “Mediterraneo.” This unique place has everything from arcade games and restaurants to coworking spaces and a variety of fun events. Many events are for all ages, making it a great venue if you’re traveling with family. Events include Bingo Loco, Karaoke, 80s Night, and so many more—check out their Instagram to see what’s happening during your stay in Nice.
Saint Laurent du Var
If you venture a little outside Nice towards Saint Laurent du Var, you’ll find all the locals and even cheaper drink prices. The best way to discover the area and its variety of party spots is to head to Cap 3000, a huge shopping mall, and walk along the promenade lined with cafes, bars, and restaurants all the way to the port. Each place has its own unique vibe and demographic, so no matter your age or music preference, you’re sure to find a venue for you. Very few tourists visit this area, so you’re guaranteed to be surrounded by locals.
Festivals
Throughout the year, Nice hosts a variety of events, from Ironman competitions to music festivals—and summer is no exception. Some of the biggest summer music events are Fête de la Musique, Jazz Fest, and Neon Festival. My absolute favorite is Fête de la Musique, which takes place every year on June 21st and is a celebration throughout the country! The streets of Nice are filled with dancing and music of all kinds. Wander around and discover a different party around every corner. No matter your age, this is a fantastic experience for partygoers both young and old.
For more details on dates, ticket prices, and performance lineups for Jazz Fest and Neon Festival, check out their websites or social media pages.
No matter when you’re visiting, there’s sure to be an event in Nice worth checking out.
Well, there you have it—everything you need to know to enjoy a great night out in Nice! From all-night dancing to fancy cocktails, you’re sure to find a vibe that suits you. If you happen to visit outside the summer months, don’t worry—there are still plenty of great places to party. However, areas such as Vieux Nice and Rue de France may be quieter compared to high season.
