Sunset Café anchors the top of Rue Saint-Michel in Rennes with cheap pints, a 17:00 to 21:00 happy hour and a small dance floor at weekends.
Signature drink: €4.50 pints, €3.50 to €4 in the 17:00-21:00 happy hour
Tip: One of the longest happy hours on the street; come before 21:00 and move down the row afterwards.
Le P'tit Vélo has poured for generations of Rennes students on Place Saint-Michel, two rooms running funk-disco and rock with cocktails until 03:00.
Signature drink: House cocktails across two differently soundtracked bars
Tip: It runs later than almost anything else on the square; the back room is the rock one.

Oan's Pub spreads two terraces below the cathedral quarter of Rennes, €5 pints, Breton beers on tap and bar pizzas that made a local top-12 list.
Signature drink: €5 pints and Breton craft beers
Food: Pizzas from the bar kitchen
Tip: The two terraces are the draw on summer evenings; the pizza list is better than a pub needs it to be.
