Entertainment in Biarritz

  1. Miremont

    Operating since 1880, this grande dame of a place harks back to the time when belle-époque Biarritz was simply the beach resort of choice for the rich and glamorous of Europe. Today it still attracts perfectly coiffured hairdos (and that’s just on the poodles) but the somewhat less chic are also now welcome to come and partake of a fine selection of teas, cakes and views over the bay.

    Red Bar

    You mightn’t think a rugby bar would attract trendsetters, but this temple to Biarritz Olympique (their colours are red and white – hence the name), with reggae and ’70s rock in the background, will make you think again.

    Le Caveau

    One of the two discos near the Biarritz town centre is Le Caveau. It is a long-running temple of Euro-house, with a pumping sound system and caters to a gay and mixed crowd.

  4. Arena Café Bar

    Tucked into a tiny cove, this beachfront hang-out combines a style-conscious restaurant (mains €15 to €22) with a fuchsia- and violet-tinged bar with DJs on the turntables.

    Le Surfing

    After a hard day's surfing, drop in here to discuss waves and wipe-outs. The bar is full of surfing memorabilia and there's an outside terrace with decent views.

  6. Milk Bar

    If you’re on the hunt for a surfer or a surfer at heart, then this place, just back from the beach, provides plenty of opportunities to get your sex wax out.
