Pub Le Big Ben

Restaurant Bar Pub

😠 Not great beer selection. Only 1 mediocre IPA on tap. Asked for a carafe of water (which is supposed to be free) and was brought bottled water and charged almost as much as a beer. There are better pubs in Nice with more attentive customer service and a better beer selection on tap. People often mention beer, Nice, nice, friendly, staff, beers, good, service, atmosphere, great,

    (Translated by Google) I discovered this very nice pub a few years ago. A choice of beers to delight all tastes and all connoisseurs. The owner Dominique is a reference to Nice and Laurent behind the bar, always on top, smile and service. (Original) J’ai découvert ce pub très sympathique Il y a quelques années. Un choix de bières à ravir tous les goûts et tous les connaisseurs. La patronne Dominique est une référence à Nice et Laurent derrière le bar, toujours au top, sourire et service.

    The high score made us go there but it’s just dirty and shabby. We ordered a large beer/pint and got a glass filled 2/3 of the way up for €8. There were people there who really shouldn’t have been served any more drink but they were. We stayed for our half pint and left. This pub wouldn’t survive a minute in London. Avoid

    This traditional English style pub is not located in the most touristy area (i.e the Old Nice) but it's still in downtown Nice and easy to get to so it's a great find for people who want to get away from the crowd and still be in the city. They have a comprehensive list of draft and bottled beers as well as whisky, wine and other spirits. Great thing is they're constantly updating their beer specials, especially their seasonal brews. The food platters are great and the staff (owner included) is super friendly.

    This bar smells like old cigarettes and bad decisions. It' is exactly perfect if what you seek is a legitimate dive bar. They have a decent small selection of beers, including some house beers. The crowd is carried and interesting, as they should be in a dive bar.

    Fun little bar with a small town country feel. Bartender Lolo had some YouTube country music playing and was good to chat. Met a group of girls to visit with and lost track of time. Fun bar and very nice staff.

  • 5/5 Tomasz Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy and friendly place open till late, even when other venues are well past shutdown. The staff is super friendly and the beers on tap are among the best you can get in Nice. Will definitely come again for a late night drink.

    I used to live 9 years in Dublin, and I found surprisinh that here they have craft beer from there and with the same taste. Highly recommend for those beer loves. Also, I love the ambiance.

  • 5/5 Margo G. 10 months ago on Google
    Great little pub not too far from Jean Medicin and La Coulée Verte. A vast variety of international beers and always a different "beer of the moment". Mini beer garden outside and always great service. Would reccommend!

  • 3/5 Antony S. 1 year ago on Google
    Average back street pub with a mixed local and tourist clientele. The most expensive place we drank in over the four nights we had in Nice. 17 euros for a small beer and a tiny tiny red wine - we only dropped in after checking into our nearby hotel.

    Relaxed vibe. Older. Some might find it quaint; others might find it run down. Beers were €7-9 in November 2023.

    Came here twice. It seems a nice little classic pub, even if it's a little overpriced. Would normally recommend. However, the second time we went the lady working was extremely rude and dismissive to my friends just for asking some questions about the menu.

    (Translated by Google) THE pub you need to know in Nice. I have frequented it for 30 years! An incredible choice of world beers, whiskey etc with little things to snack on in the event of a snack. A timeless place where you can quietly taste your drink that Dominique (the boss) will serve you with a smile and a little explanation on the content of your glass. In short, go for it! (Original) LE pub qu'il faut connaître à Nice. Je le fréquente depuis 30 ans ! Un choix incroyable de bières du monde, de whisky etc avec des petites choses à grignoter en cas de petits creux.

Bref foncez y !
