Bars in Monaco

Monaco's bar scene is anchored by the grand hotel salons of Monte-Carlo. The Bar Américain at the Hôtel de Paris is one of the most storied cocktail bars on the Riviera, with a setting that has changed little since the Belle Époque. The Crystal Bar at the Hermitage and the Buddha Bar inside the Casino building (both SBM) round out the luxury lounge circuit on the Casino square.

Beyond the palace hotels, the Quai Antoine Ier and the port terraces of La Condamine offer harbourside bars popular on warm evenings. On the Larvotto seafront, Longitude 7°26' at the Méridien serves aperitivos and DJ nights throughout the season. The late-night end of the market is covered by the Sporting Monte-Carlo complex on Avenue Princesse Grace. Every bar page links to the nearest CAM bus stop and crosslinks to nearby restaurants for a full evening itinerary.
