About Le Swing

Le Swing can work at two different speeds. Earlier in the evening, its small street terrace offers a straightforward place for drinks near the Garibaldi area; later on, drag shows and karaoke give the indoor bar a much livelier role. That mix makes it less formal than a cabaret venue and less club-focused than a dance floor. With daily evening opening, it is also one of Nice’s more consistently available LGBTQ nightlife options, whether you want a drink outside or a night built around entertainment.

What to expect

Expect a bar rather than a nightclub, but not necessarily a quiet one. The terrace suits an earlier drink, while karaoke and drag can make the indoor space much more animated later in the evening.

Saturday nights are easy. But find a bar where Monday also make you feel welcome and comfortable. Great bar. But the star is the barman who ensure everyone is acknowledged and serves with a smile. Cool and friendly, great cocktails and late night closing!

I was recently on a solo trip to Nice and decided to go out for a drink or two and stumbled upon this bar. The drink menu is very extensive and has pretty much every drink you can think of including non alcoholic mocktails. I went on a Monday which is karaoke night with a DJ. The handsome bartender (with beautiful eyes) was welcoming and speaks fluent English which was nice since l don’t know any French. My drink of choice when I go out is a margarita and he made me by far one of the BEST margaritas I have ever had. If you are looking for a low key chill spot then this is the place for you!

We had so much fun here. My French is NOT strong at all but found no issue chatting with the bartender a little. The drag show on Sunday night was wonderful and the girls put on a real treat. They were kind enough to translate some of their jokes and banter; all in all was a very welcoming and fun visit. Some of the other reviews complaining about French being spoken in France made me laugh. We did not have an issue at all and found the complete opposite to be true.

My friends and I had a wonderful time at the Karaoke Party. The DJ, the drinks and the atmosphere were great! We really enjoyed the event, with amazing singers and all kind of acts and songs!

If you're not French they don't want your money, and they shouldn't get it. The queens just talk trash about anybody who shows up and doesn't speak French. Tourists are not welcome. Nobody needs to speak English to keep me entertained, but if I'm going to spend 100$ on drinks in your trashy bar I don't need your smack talk. The bartender was great and friendly, just leave before the show starts.
