Cocktail bars
Cocktail bars in Reims
A compact but real cocktail scene: a speakeasy, a couple of craft rooms, lounge bars that run to 3am - and, this being Reims, champagne in everything.
Serious mixology
Bootlegger Speakeasy
Reims' best-known speakeasy-style bar (4.6 stars across hundreds of reviews): brasserie food at lunch, then the lights drop and it's all about the cocktail list. Open late Friday and Saturday - until 3am.
Spirits' Club
A proper cocktail bar in the old centre, open Tuesday to Saturday from 5pm. Smaller and quieter than the Erlon crowd-pleasers - good for a conversation over something stirred.
Grape Bar Reims
Cosy lounge-cocktail hybrid a short walk from the cathedral (4.9 stars, small but devoted following). Works as easily for an afternoon glass as a late one.
Lounge and late
La Spirale
Lounge bar doing beer, rum and cocktails until 3am Wednesday to Saturday. Inexpensive by Reims standards - the pre-club stop for the south side of town.
Monkey's Barrel House
Beer and signature cocktails with live music and cabaret nights in the back room. Open late Wednesday to Saturday (until 1am weekends).
Club Champagne - Le Louis XIV
Champagne cocktails in a private-club setting, with poker nights in the mix. The dress-up option.
The champagne-bar exception
In Reims, the cocktail conversation always bends toward champagne - and the city's champagne bars (Le Parvis, Bar à Bulles at Veuve Clicquot) pour flights and champagne cocktails that most cocktail bars can't match. See the restaurants and culture guides for the full champagne-bar picture.

Bootlegger Speakeasy (4 Rue Gaston Boyer) for the speakeasy experience, Spirits' Club (4 Rue de Tambour) for quiet craft cocktails, and La Spirale for late-night value.
Do Reims bars serve champagne cocktails?
The dedicated champagne bars do it best - champagne is the local spirit, so expect champagne-based serves alongside the classics at most good bars.
