Cocktail Bars in Bordeaux
Bordeaux's cocktail bars often come with a kitchen, from tapas to a full dinner menu. The best cocktail bars in Bordeaux start on Quai de Paludate at Point Rouge, a bar and restaurant serving cocktails and tapas from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., Monday to Saturday. On Rue de la Devise, Madame Pang gives its drinks Asian notes through infusions, decoctions and fat washes, and La Drôlerie opens daily from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. On Quai des Chartrons, Symbiose is both a cocktail bar and a restaurant, where bar and kitchen share techniques and ingredients and little goes to waste. Symbiose and Madame Pang close on Sundays and Mondays. These are the bars we would start with.

Symbiose
Symbiose is a restaurant and cocktail bar at 4 Quai des Chartrons in the Chartrons neighborhood of Bordeaux. The bar hides in a second room behind the dining room, entered through an antique grandfather clock. The focus is spirits, aperitifs and secret house mixtures, with creations such as the Bastard Mary, built on gazpacho and vodka, and the Mafate Royal, which brings together rhubarb, gin, green tea and Champagne. Produce from the team's permaculture garden in the Leyre valley at Belin-Béliet, about 50 km from the city, feeds both the kitchen and the bar. Creative plates are served alongside the drinks to a relaxed soundtrack. The bar is open Tuesday to Saturday until 1:30 am.
