The best bars in Toulouse

The effervescent city of Toulouse is bursting with great places to grab a drink. The current trend is for cocktail bars, where the art of mixology is churning out amazing drinks with top ingredients. But we also love to sip simple drinks out on the terraces, taking in the pretty views of the Ville Rose. Here are the best bars of the moment!

Cocktails in Toulouse: The Top 5

1. L’Heure du Singe

In the middle of the Quartier Saint-Aubin, you'll find this chic, laid-back room (with raw wood benches, big tables, or bar seats) where you can sip handmade cocktails alongside delicious cheese and charcuterie boards.

Address: 59, rue Riquet

2. Le Soulier

Located inside the Aux Pieds Sous la Table restaurant - a great place to eat, by the way! - Le Soulier makes high-quality cocktails and scrumptious tapas. Enjoy while comfortably reclined in soft armchairs. Cozy ambiance with subdued lighting.

Address: 4-8 rue Arnaud Bernard

3. Le Fat Cat

Savor these delicious cocktails in an atmosphere right out of the 1930s, right down to the leather club chairs. On the menu: everything from simple Old Fahsioned's to more original, seasonal mixes, like the "lemon meringue tart" cocktail. An intimate ambiance, just a stone's throw from the Capitole. Enjoy one of the regularly piano bar soirées.

Address: 4 rue de Rémusat

4. La Maison

As the name might suggest, you feel right at home in this cocktail bar near Jean Jaurès. The exposed stone walls, ultra comfortable armchairs, and an open-hearth fireplace are all really something.

Address: 9, rue Gabriel Péri

5. Le Marché Noir

Located on the Place des Carmes, behind the market of the same name, the Marché Noir specializes in its minimalist interior and fresh cocktails. Warm and welcoming ambiance, very pleasant terrace.
