Food program: Eggs and small plates

Address: 1348 avenue Raymond Dugrand, 34000 Montpellier
Le Clandestin doubles as wine bar and cocktail room on Rue de la Valfère in Montpellier, mojitos beside forty Languedoc bottles and shared boards.
Signature drink: Languedoc reds by the glass
Food: Charcuterie and cheese boards
Tip: One of the rare Écusson bars pouring on Sunday night; the piano in the corner is there to be played.
La Part des Anges keeps its kitchen open with the bar until 01:00 on Rue Collot in Montpellier, focaccias and churro waffles beside the glasses.
Signature drink: Gin-tonics and wine by the glass
Food: Focaccias and roasted camembert
Tip: Order the octopus carpaccio before the kitchen's late rush; plates stay between 7 and 17 euros all night.
La Nonna runs the JOST hotel rooftop by Saint-Roch station, pouring spritzes over bruschette with nightly DJ sets or live music above the quarter.
Signature drink: Spritz list
Food: Bruschette and antipasti until 22:45
Tip: Walk-ins only and it closes in bad weather; Wednesday brings the grilled-skewer night to the roof.
La Barbote brews and pours its own beer on Rue des Deux Ponts in the Beaux-Arts quarter, a microbrewery bar open every single evening until 01:00.
Signature drink: House-brewed beers
Tip: It opens seven nights, rare for a brewery bar; go early for a seat, the room is small and local.
Drapeau Rouge brews on the Faubourg Boutonnet and feeds its own taproom with pub plates and slow-cooked meat burgers, a student-quarter fixture.
Signature drink: House craft beers
Food: Pub food and slow-cooked meat burgers
Tip: Weekday lunch in a working brewery is the quiet way in; evenings fill with the Boutonnet student crowd.
Les Canons pours natural wine through the afternoon near Saint-Pierre cathedral in Montpellier, 150 references and 10 euro corkage at the tables.
Signature drink: Natural wines off the shelf
Food: Market lunches
Tip: An afternoon bar as much as an evening one, and Wednesday's late close is the night to settle in for a long session.
