Le Lieu Unique
Within the one-time Lu biscuit factory (crowned by a replica of its original tower, which you can ascend for €2), this industrial-chic space is the venue for dance and theatre performances, eclectic and electronic music, philosophical sessions and contemporary-art exhibitions. Also here is an always-buzzing restaurant, a polished concrete bar, and a decadent hammam (Turkish bath) complex in the basement.

Hangar à Bananes
A former banana-ripening warehouse on the Île de Nantes. Here you’ll find over a dozen restaurants, bars and clubs (and combinations thereof), each hipper than the next. The front terraces of most face onto the Anneaux de Buren, a permanent art installation of metal rings that light up at night.

Spoutnik
In a small turquoise-coloured space with a quirky collection of stainless steel and brass clocks (none of which show the same time), Spoutnik has regular live independent rock as well as 40 different flavours of vodka and good tap beer.

Café Cult
Squeezed inside a darkened half-timbered house and hung with local art, this bohemian place draws a student crowd and sometimes hosts concerts. During the day it serves megacheap but palate-pleasing lunches for around €7.50.

La Maison
You have to see it to believe this trip of a place, decorated room by room like a home furnished in bad 1970s taste, playing (what else?) house music.

Le Bar du Coin
This 'corner bar' in the heart of the medieval Bouffay quarter is where most Nantais nights out get started.
