One of the most authentically British pubs in Nice, Big Ben offers a much more relaxed atmosphere than most of the others. If you want to avoid blaring lights, booming music, and gyrating bodies and instead want to relax with a cold pint in a traditional, friendly atmosphere, then this is the place. Good food is available, as well, including English-style favorites such as steak tartare and a variety of pastries, teas and coffees.

This is the most famous bar in Nice and for good reason. Visitors of all ages ­ especially English-speaking ones ­ flock here for the atmosphere, the drinks, and the guaranteed good time. For club-hoppers, this is a necessary stop, either early or late. For diners looking for one post-prandial drink before calling it a night, you can't go wrong here. The dark wood interior is inviting, the live music entertaining, and the drink list extensive, but the big draw here is the ever-present party crowd.

This fun nightspot offers something for everyone with an Internet café, a live music venue, and a pub all rolled into one. This was one of the first bars to offer Internet access, and it is still one of the best. The unique decor and spacious, airy rooms make this a great place to relax early or late. Coffee, snacks, drinks, dancing, conversation ­ if you want it, you can have it at La Douche.

This bar has a hip Art Deco exterior and an inviting patio that calls out to passers-by. There is always an upbeat crowd here, and the staff makes sure everyone is having a good time. Classic pub atmosphere and a diverse crowd, along with low prices, make this a favorite among locals and visitors.

In the heart of Old Nice, this bar has been serving the artsy crowd for decades. Located near the Opera House and other cultural venues, this pub is more upscale than most and offers excellent service in an elegant atmosphere. A stop here is a fitting end to an evening of culture. Plenty of menu items are available all day and late into the evening, and the list of wines is impressive.
