The Apollo Bar: the unmissable funk & soul spot in Bordeaux
Ambiance & decor: bass guitar at full blast, vintage counter and energetic DJ sets
Installed at 19 place Fernand Lafargue, 33000 Bordeaux, L'Apollo Bar has existed since 1997 and stands as an iconic venue in the historic district. The decor blends vintage, soul/funk spirit and neighborhood conviviality: faux leather banquettes, subtle neon lights, soul & funk posters, and vinyls spinning for DJ sets or live concerts. The door opens onto a central bar where one can easily settle in for a drink.
At the table & by the glass: well-crafted cocktails, craft beers and good vibes
The Apollo Bar doesn't do things by halves: crafted house cocktails (Old Fashioned, reinvented Negroni, etc.), selected wine and beer. Funk & soul DJ sets or live sets energize the evening. The bar is a good choice before or after dinner, or simply to extend the evening with a refined yet accessible atmosphere.
For whom?
The Apollo is perfect for:
- Fans of funk, soul and jazz music who want a drink in a fitting setting
- Groups of friends looking for a lively evening out without the excesses of a nightclub
- Those who want a "cocktail bar + musical atmosphere" venue in central Bordeaux
This is not necessarily the place for an ultra romantic or ultra-quiet dinner, but for a lively, trendy and friendly moment.Verdict: a Bordeaux address to note
The Apollo Bar checks all the boxes: warm welcome, beautiful decor, genuine musical atmosphere, quality cocktails. My advice: arrive early or reserve if possible to get a good spot, settle in at the bar or on the terrace (when the weather is nice), let the music carry you away and savor your drink.
