Bars and Cafes

The old town is the hub of Nice's nightlife. Rue Prefecture and the surrounding streets are packed with bars that spill onto the narrow lanes on warm evenings. Wayne's on Rue de la Prefecture draws a young international crowd, while Le Bar des Oiseaux on Rue St. Vincent is the locals' pick for jazz and a cheap glass of wine. For something more polished, L'Odace channels the Buddha Bar aesthetic with Asian-inspired decor and a chic dance floor. Along the Promenade des Anglais, Bar le Relais inside the Hotel Negresco offers piano music nightly in a setting dripping with belle epoque grandeur.
