Tip: Thursday is the big student night on this street; take the card, pour a half of everything and settle up at the door.
Address: 11 Rue Saint-Michel, 35000 Rennes
Sunset Café sits at the top of rue Saint-Michel in Rennes, the cheap-pint anchor of the rue de la Soif with a small weekend dance floor.
Tip: The 17:00 to 21:00 happy hour is one of the longest on the street, and the floor only fills after midnight at weekends.
Le P'tit Vélo on Place Saint-Michel is the late-running Rennes student institution, two rooms with separate soundtracks open to 03:00 on Thursdays.
Tip: It runs latest Thursday to Saturday and shuts at 22:30 on Sunday, which makes it the last stop rather than the first.

Les Innocents on Place des Lices in Rennes pours homemade cocktails in a warm room that opens early and runs to 01:00 from Tuesday to Saturday.
Tip: It opens at 06:00 on Saturday for the Marché des Lices crowd, which is a very different room from the one at midnight.
Le Combi Bar near the Rennes station puts electronic music behind the counter and mixes its own list, a quieter alternative to the Sainte-Anne strip.
Tip: It sits on the station side rather than in the old town, so it stays workable on nights when rue Saint-Michel is shoulder to shoulder.
