Boum

Boum is a queer bar and small club at 21 rue André Poggioli, between Cours Julien and Notre-Dame-du-Mont. It opened in October 2022 (Time Out) and runs a full programme: drag queens and drag kings, cabaret, karaoke nights called Karaboum, talks, and DJ sets that turn the room into a dance floor late in the week. The Marseille tourist office's 2026 LGBTQIA+ guide describes it as a safer space for queer artists and audiences. Club nights carry a small entry charge, around €5. Check boummarseille.fr or its Instagram for the week's line-up. Google rates it 4.4 from about 230 reviews.
