'''PUBS & BARS'''

Nightlife : be aware that '''most bars close at 2.00 am''' and that nightclubs open at 11.00 pm and close at 5.00 am... but if you are lucky, you might be able to stay all night in a nice bar with good music.

"Place de la Victoire" is the '''student district''': a lot of partying on Thursday nights and a lot of live rugby and football games are been shot on large screens. 

EL CHE (Cuban spirit and rhums) 34, cours de l’Argonne

''If you fancy a cosier atmosphere, with live music and wooden furniture, then L’AVANT-SCENE (42 cours de l’Yser) might be attractive.''


''If you are a “beer-lover”, you may find it worth walking to ''
LE LUCIFER, 35 rue de Pessac (where you can taste more than 250 different beers from all over the world)
TITI TWISTER, 76 rue Leyteire (a lot of Belgian beers).


''"Saint-Pierre" is the '''tourist and yuppies district''' : terrace cafes and wine bars… but not only. For a drink before dinner (l’apéro!) or after dinner: ''

''At "Saint-Michel", the picturesque and colourful district of the old city, you will discover a more popular Bordeaux with a lot of Mediterranean accents. This is the realm of home-made mint teas and tapas.''

''North Bordeaux and its wet docks & old maritime warehouses is the new trendy area, with nightclubs such as THE DAME DE SHANGAI (Bassins à Flots N1, 1 quai Armand Lalan).''

''But it is in South Bordeaux, quai de Paludate, that you will find most of the nightclubs and a very good place for live jazz, swing & blues sessions: ''

<!-- Specific CouchSurfing tips. I.e. could it be a good idea to ask people in suburbs instead (because the city is very popular). 

Other useful things:
* free food (is there a Food not Bombs?)
* free wifi internet spots?
