About this place Rainbow Bar

Rainbow Bar is a small gay bar at 9 Rue Bonaparte, the street between Place Garibaldi and the port that locals call the Petit Marais. It's a cocktails-and-tapas bar with drag and karaoke nights rather than a club, and reviewers keep naming the staff and the cocktail list. The tourism office lists it under its Nice Rainbow scheme, open Wednesday to Sunday from 18:00 to 00:30. It rates 4.7 on Google from about 120 reviews. Early evening is quieter; later the crowd moves between it and the other bars nearby.

Located on a very lively and friendly street in Nice. The happy hour drinks are excellent. The bar identifies as gay, but the welcome is warm for everyone who doesn't identify as such, thanks to the kindness of all its patrons. My wife loves it when I take her there, as well as friends of all stripes. Hehe! Great... especially the post-it notes in the restrooms! 😉😊
