About this place Le Cercle Rouge

Le Cercle Rouge is a cocktail bar on Rue des Carmes in the Bouffay, the medieval quarter that holds most of central Nantes's bars. It's a gay-friendly mainstream bar, not a gay venue. Nearly 900 Google reviews at 4.4 point to good drinks and quick service, and it also runs karaoke nights. The terrace fills up on warm evenings and weekends. Nantes's gay bars are spread through the same central area, so it's easy to combine with a night out elsewhere.

Passing through Nantes, we had a fantastic time: the servers were excellent, and the atmosphere was great. It's a pleasure to find such a place. We'll be back.

Why put in separate men's and women's restrooms, a chair inside, and music and photo booths when the waitress complains about how long customers are taking inside and that two people can't fit inside at a time? She even knocks repeatedly (nice when you're on the toilet, lol). It's a shame because the place is very nice, although the woman is just awful and unbearable, even though we were accommodating and left as quickly as possible. A little more friendliness and we would have come back. Terrible.
