3 lgbtq+ in Nantes our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Nantes nightlife.
Le Montecito ★ 3.9
Bouffay · 6 Allée Duquesne, 44000 Nantes
Le Montecito is the gay cocktail bar of Nantes on Allée Duquesne, with drag shows and DJ nights on a programme that changes through the month.
Tip: Monday is the one dark night; it sits close enough to Bouffay to fold into a wider bar crawl.
Le Plein Sud ★ 4.0
Decré · 2 Rue Prémion, 44000 Nantes
Le Plein Sud is described by local press as the oldest gay bar in Nantes, a relaxed terrace room near the cathedral rather than a dance floor.
Tip: It opens from late afternoon, so it works as the early stop before the Kervégan clubs get going.
Le Petit Marais ★ 4.1
Bouffay · 15 Rue Kervégan, 44000 Nantes
Le Petit Marais is a long-standing fixture of queer nightlife on the Île Feydeau in Nantes, DJ nights and drag under a lit ceiling.
Tip: It runs seven nights to 04:00, which is rare in Nantes, and the door stays busy long after the Bouffay bars have shut.
