What makes Polikarpov stand out
Polikarpov is on Cours d’Estienne d’Orves, a long square full of bars and restaurants just a few steps from the Vieux-Port. The bar itself is small and specialises in vodka, and life happens on the big terrace.
By day there is coffee, from early evening cocktails, pastis and happy hour, and later DJs play. Many come for an apéro and stay into the night.
Atmosphere and crowd
The crowd is mixed and gay-friendly, many between their mid-20s and mid-40s. In Google reviews, guests describe the atmosphere as relaxed and trendy, with good music and fair prices. The terrace is the most praised detail.
A good fit if you …
- want to sit on a terrace by the harbour
- want to start with an apéro and DJ music
- like a mixed crowd
Not ideal if you …
- are looking for an exclusively gay bar
- expect a lot of space inside
