The Best Cocktail Bars in Antibes & Juan-les-Pins
Absinthe cellars, crew pubs and flaming coconuts.
Antibes after dark splits neatly in three: the old town's atmospheric cellars, the port strip where the yacht crews drink, and Juan-les-Pins, which has been throwing the party since the 1920s.
Start with these and let the evening decide the rest.
