Toulouse has one of the liveliest bar scenes in southern France, driven by its large student population. Place Saint-Pierre and the surrounding streets near the Garonne are the main bar district, packed on weekend evenings. Place du Capitole and the pedestrian streets around it have the smarter cafes. The Frog & Rostbif is an English-style pub with a young crowd and dancing on weekends; The Mulligans is a more relaxed Irish pub with live music on weekends. For something more local, look for bars serving Armagnac and the purple Violette liqueur made from the city's emblematic flower.
