Entertainment in Chamonix

  1. A

    Chambre Neuf

    Cover bands, raucous après-ski drinking and Swedish blondes dancing on the tables make Chambre Neuf one of Chamonix’ liveliest party haunts. Conversations about epic off-pistes and monster jumps that are, like, totally mental, man, dominate at every table.

    Cantina Club

    DJs spin everything from deep house to Afrobeat and hip hop at this pumping underground club. The street-level restaurant cooks up Tex-Mex food.

    Goophy

    Goophy by name, goophy by nature at this large pub-style space with wooden floor, high ceilings and a bounty of merrymaking punters near the train station. Those who never quite make it back to their chalet can enjoy surprisingly tasty food - spare ribs with BBQ sauce, blackened chicken filet, a cheese and bacon Goophy burger and so on - from 19:00 to 23:00.

    Monkey Bar

    With a sign touting ‘live sports and sexy bar staff’, this is one very cheeky monkey. Slightly grungy, very cool, this party hot spot has live gigs and DJs several times a week. There’s a mad rush to the bar at 4.45pm when pints are €1.50 for 15 minutes – get ’em in quick!

    Le Jekyll

    Fill up on BBQ ribs, Irish lamb and Guinness stew washed down with a pint of Murphy's at Chamonix's Irish pub - or descend to the cellar for a shot with Hyde. Happy hour is 20:00 to 22:00, DJs and live bands play 'til late and Sunday breakfast/roast is a hit.

    MBC

    This trendy microbrewery run by four Canadians is fab. Be it with their burgers, cheesecake of the week, live music or amazing locally brewed and named beers (Blonde de Chamonix, Stout des Drus, Blanche des Guides etc), MBC delivers.

    Poco Loco

    Chip-eating punters love this grungy café-bar - a takeaway counter downstairs and five-odd tables topped by a ceiling of corrugated iron. Well-stuffed toasted sandwiches (large round baps in fact) are served in a brown paper bag.

    Bistrot des Sports

    An age-old meeting place for muleteers, guides and other men of the mountain, this bolthole has kept a certain charm and authenticity. The street terrace is perfect for a mellow drink.

    Le Tof

    Chamonix's gay scene struts its stuff in Chamonix's only wholly gay bar and disco. Sip aperitifs, munch tapas and dance to house, new wave and retro in a trendy lounge atmosphere.

    Elevation 1904

    Alpine paraphernalia lines the walls of this merry bet by the train station, with an all-day snack shack. The suntrap terrace is just right for relaxing over a cold one.

    BPM

    The most recent nightclub to open its doors in dance-mad Chamonix, BPM is glam and glitzy. It is at the end of the passage next to Rip Curl.
