38 The Place
Buzzword of the moment, the Place is the place to chink champagne. Find it inside Hôtel Gray d'Albion.
-
Amiral Bar
A cocktail in the legendary piano bar of Hôtel Martinez is a must when in town. Punters rave about Jimmy the pianist, as much for his hugely amiable manner as for his keyboard skills.
-
Bar des Célébrités
The ground-floor bar of the Carlton InterContinental has a sea-facing terrace for all to see and be seen.
-
Carignan
Taste wine safe in the knowledge that Léandre Piquet (a former sommelier at the Majestic) is an authority. Find him behind the bar in his pocket-sized bar à vins (wine bar) atop the hill in Le Suquet.
-
Chink's

L'Atelier
Anyone who's anyone heads to this spectacular club within the Palm Beach Casino. The interior - a minimalist mesh of Byzantine, Greco-Roman and Oriental - has a restaurant and lounge bar. Recently saved from bulldozers and spectacularly restored, it's well worth a nosey. DJs spin jazz and lounge music early on and R&B later on.
-
La Discoteca
La Discoteca has all the bells and whistles you might expect from a club in Cannes, but with considerably less class. If you want that casting director to notice you, ordering a jeroboam of champagne sees your table spot-lit as a gong goes off. On the off-chance Hollywood doesn't beckon, at least you can get very drunk.
-
La Grosse Tartine
This vivacious local bistro is not even a little bit pretentious. Proudly called 'the big tart', it's a fun way to start the evening - although the likelihood is you won't want to leave. No need to dress up - just make sure you've got your drinking shoes on.
-
Le 7
This disco-and-house gay club is a brilliant night out, but don't sit near the stage during the drag shows unless you're up for being part of the spectacle. Actually, there's so much attention-seeking here, it's doubtful newcomers will even be able to see the front row.

Le Pastis
Le Pastis is the perfect start to a night on the town. It's one of the new kids on the Cannes block, but you would think it had been here forever. Charismatic barman Manuel mixes show-stopping cocktails, and there's a great wine list as well as a blackboard menu.
-
Palais Club
'Dance your life' with the world's best DJs is the buzz at this summer club which has taken Cannes by storm for the past couple of seasons - let's hope it's around next year. Electronic music and dance is the sound. A 2600-sq-metre dance floor inside and 1500-sq-metre rooftop lounge terrace with glittering Med view is the space. An affluent crowd of 2500 clubbers is the set.
-
Palm Beach Casino
This architecturally hip casino boasts a range of facilities including restaurants, a reception venue, a lounge bar, a private beach and, surprisingly, slot machines. Indulge in all the pleasures of gambling and soak up the carefree atmosphere that comes with throwing money away on the Riviera - all with the convenience of helicopter access.
-
Vogue
This ambient bar in Le Suquet draws a young, trendy, predominantly gay crowd into electronic music.
-
Zanzibar
The coast's oldest and most venerable gay bar, going strong since 1885, where people came to dance to house and admire erotic frescoes of well-built sailors.
