About this place Le Couloir

Le Couloir is a small gay bar on Rue Alberti in central Nice, between Place Masséna and the old town. As the name ('the corridor') suggests, it is a narrow room built around the bar, and reviews say the bartender-owner sets the tone. It is a place for a drink and conversation, not dancing. It opens daily from 17:00 to 01:00, which makes it an early-evening stop before the later bars. Reviews are mixed (3.9 from 43), and with so few seats, the night depends on who else turns up.

A must-visit, as it's the oldest gay bar in Nice, with over 35 years of history. A warm atmosphere where everyone can mingle, chat, and have fun together.

We wanted to have a drink on your behalf, so we chose this bar by chance. We weren't disappointed. The owner was incredibly kind. We hit it off right away. I recommend this bar without hesitation.

Christophe makes you feel at home! What it lacks in space - it more than makes up for in personality, warmth and charm! Definitely a find!!

This place reopened at the beginning of April... The space is non-smoking, unlike before when you walked into a smoking room, lol. The manager is very friendly and welcoming. It's nice to see this unique place from a different perspective. LGBT venue.
