Les folies d'Edmonde - Bar à Cocktails
Monaco
At a glance
Les Folies d’Edmonde is a cocktail bar set inside a vaulted cellar on Rue Benoît Bunico in Vieux-Nice. Stone walls and the enclosed setting give the venue a distinct historic character, while the bar and performance area keep the atmosphere focused on drinks, music and social evenings.
The drinks list combines house creations, classic cocktails and a selection of spirits, including gin, whisky and other bottles from French producers. Mocktails are treated with the same care as cocktails, giving non-drinkers a dedicated choice rather than a single soft-drink option. The house creations carry feminine family names, adding a personal touch to the menu without taking attention away from the cellar setting.
Les Folies d’Edmonde also works as a small live-entertainment venue. Depending on the scheduled evening, the programme can include hosted karaoke, open jam sessions, concerts, drag shows, flamenco, music quizzes, DJ sets or other themed events. The changing calendar makes the bar suitable both for a planned night around a particular event and for a more informal drink in Vieux-Nice. Music, performers and audience remain close together beneath the vaulted ceiling, creating a direct connection between the bar and the room.
The venue suits friends meeting for cocktails, visitors looking for an evening activity in the old town and small groups arranging a private occasion. Its format is more oriented towards nightlife and entertainment than towards dining, with the drinks menu forming the central focus. A table game can also bring together local regulars, friends and visitors during the early part of the evening, making the space approachable for travellers arriving without a large group.
For visitors based in Monaco, Les Folies d’Edmonde offers a drinks-led stop in Nice that combines a historic cellar with a rotating programme of entertainment. The address is close to the old town’s evening bars and restaurants, making it practical for a night built around cocktails, a scheduled show or a music-focused event.
