About Bars & Nightlife in Monaco

Monaco nightlife: exclusive and sometimes elusive- you need the local knowledge to make the most of this glittering principality. While the opulent villas, cliff-top castle and giant superyachts set a tone of ultimate luxury, it is possible to spend a night out in Monaco that suits a wide range of budgets and tastes, from the ultra-refined to the relaxed Irish pub.

If you have money to burn, there are plenty of glamorous options for a night out in Monte Carlo. The Sea Lounge , with its white couches looking out over the Mediterranean, is the perfect place to start the evening under the stars while drinking champagne and listening to the chilled beats of the resident DJ. Or perhaps enjoy a shisha and a premium gin cocktail on the terrace at the ice-cool Blue Gin , or head inside for billiards and to listen to the DJ in this very chic venue.

Meanwhile, you cannot pass up the opportunity to dress up and visit the Monte Carlo Casino . Have a flutter on the blackjack tables in this staggeringly beautiful casino that is a movie star in its own right and draws the jetset from all over the world. Drink a cocktail in the infamous Café de Paris and watch the procession of Lamborghinis and Ferraris pull up and disgorge the glitterati. For something less exclusive but also extraordinary, visit the Buddha Bar and marvel at the incredible oriental décor and giant Buddhas in this lavishly converted old theatre.

Monaco Yacht Club: An Exclusive Oasis For Marine Lovers

Looking down on the Yacht Club from Monaco’s exclusive seawater Spa, “ Thermes Marins ”, the new club-house really is a magnificent icon of multi-decked architecture – inaugurated in 2014 and designed by internationally renowned architect Lord Norman Foster.

Only in the Principality’s marina could you confuse this giant structure for the yachts around it that it resembles – a yacht mirage with a gorgeous deck with luxurious swimming pool and terraces for dancing. Splendid enough for meetings of the most discerning yacht enthusiasts, including the glitterati and “Three Comma” billionaires that frequent it.

Yachts Beyond the Reach of Mere Mortals

Some of the largest and most expensive yachts in the world dock here to take in the city’s pleasures, particularly during the iconic Monaco Yacht Show. You can wander around marvelling at all of the gadgets designers can inlay on these boats like the 348-foot-long AMADEA one of the largest and most distinctive superyachts in the world with its six distinctive guest decks. Or perhaps gaze at the 365-foot-long TIS, one of the largest and most regal yachts to be launched this year.

These superyachts, like the Yacht Club itself are like private islands and wouldn’t look out of place in a James Bond movie. If billionaires Bernard Arnault or Larry Page or Larry Ellison come calling, Monaco Yacht Club sets the stage perfectly.

Home of the Grimaldi Dynasty

For over 600 years from the 12th century onwards, the Grimaldi stronghold at Port Hercule, including where the Yacht Club now preens itself, was one of the prized naval assets on the Mediterranean. Its strategic location served more than once to change the course of history.

It was around the time of the reign of Charles III of Monaco that the Principality’s reputation as an international haven of luxury and wealth took off. And Charles III had the vision to encourage the development of Monaco as a magnet for international regattas of renown to which the world flocked.

Historic Regatta Heaven

The first of these regattas were held in the bay of Monaco in 1862, so successful that in 1888 the “Société des Régates” was established by Prince Charles III and his son Prince Albert I , affectionately known as the “Oceanographer Prince”.

Almost a century of famous regattas preceded the founding in 1953 by Prince Rainier and presided over by Prince Albert II since 1984, the Yacht Club de Monaco. The Club brings together more than 2000 members from 66 nationalities. Many of the world’s most prestigious private yachts fly the Yacht Club de Monaco’s burgee, testimony to its unique position in the International yachting world.

Prince Albert’s Presidency

In April 1984, with Prince Albert’s Presidency, he developed new international events such as the Primo Cup, the biggest gathering of monotype yachts in the Mediterranean Sea. Prince Albert also put emphasis on classic Yachting with the organization from 1994 of the Monaco Classic Week for vintage and classic yachts, the Prada Challenge for Classic Yachts.

Notably, it was the first visit of Atlantic 2010 (replica of the 1903 three-mast schooner on which Charlie Barr in 1905 set the best time for an Atlantic crossing) to the Principality. Another icon, the SS Delphine (1921) steam-boat made a welcome return. It was aboard this beauty that three world leaders, Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill, negotiated at least part of the 1945 Yalta Agreement.

Yacht Seasons are typically opened with ultra-private concerts at YCM with celebrities like Sir Elton John in 2016, Duran Duran in 2017, and Sting last year. It was yet another global star Lionel Richie singing “All Night Long” this September who delighted the many boat owners and YCM members. “All Night Long” was attended by YCM President, Prince Albert II and a host of international personalities including actor-producer Samuel L. Jackson, basketball legend Magic Johnson, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba and fashion designer Domenico Dolce, one of the two behind the eponymous brand D&G.

Regatta and Sports Heaven with a Golden Future

The Monaco Yacht Club from its beginnings embraced and has nurtured a prestige Regatta program that has accelerated and taken on new dimensions under Prince Albert’s Presidency.

It is worth mentioning the Primo Cup again as it has quickly established itself as the big meeting that opens the season in the Mediterranean for Europe’s one-design elite. Just a few other examples of stand-out Regattas enjoyed by YCMmembers include:

Monaco Swan One Design,  (9th-13th April 2019) organized in conjunction with the Yacht Club de Monaco,  was the first event in the 2019 Nations Trophy Mediterranean League.

Monaco Globe Week with the IMOCA 60  – 60-foot monohulls being among the fastest modern racing monohulls have raced on a course totalling 1,300 nautical miles embracing some of the most emblematic marks in the Western Mediterranean.

Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series  offers a monthly programme alternating high level regattas and training weekends for onedesigns.

As well as the Primo Cup another innovation worth a double mention here is  Monaco Classic Week. Persuaded that the reading of the past holds keys for the future Prince Albert fostered the creation and coordination during five years of a unique circuit for vintage and classic yachts, the Prada Challenge for Classic Yachts, without forgetting the acquisition of Tuiga in 1995, since becoming the flagship of the YCM. More recently the wave continued with the launching in 2005 of the “La Belle Classe” label.

The whole yachting world continues to look to Monaco to organize its most prestigious events. Within the last 12 months, 200 guests from the America’s Cup community from around the world gathered at the Yacht Club de Monaco to celebrate the launch of  the Prada Cup – the Challenger Selection Series for the 36th America’s Cup  to be presented by Prada in January 2021 in Auckland – deemed as “ the quest for oldest trophy in sport ”, the America’s Cup. Not to forget  World Rowing with the  Prince Albert II Challenge , a 6000m coastal race organised by the Societe Nautique de Monaco.

The Enthusiasm and Promise of Monaco’s Youth at YCM

Looking to the future is the Monaco Sports Academy which provides support to gifted young Monaco sailors and sportsmen taking on the world. The Academy is a close collaboration between the Yacht Club de Monaco, presided by Prince Albert and its General Secretary Bernard d’Alessandri, and Philippe Ghanem who is an active member of the Club. They share a common goal: to help young athletes living in Monaco reach the highest level in sport.

Also founded in 1970 by Prince Rainier III, the Sports Section of Y.C.M. adapts training to youngsters from as young as age six from initiation to competition and at every age.

Look out for the Monaco Optimist Team Race from 9-12 January 2020. The regatta is reserved for 20 teams of young sailors, all under 14. YCM invites the most competitive clubs with emphasis on tactics and above all team-work.

Full of youthful energy and promise is  the Monaco Solar & Energy Boat Challenge  next held on 30 June-4 July 2020. The Yacht Club de Monaco, in collaboration with the International Powerboating Federation (UIM) and Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation organises the Solar & Energy Boat Challenge which is unique in the world.

How to become a new member of the Yacht Club

Anyone wishing to become a member of the Yacht Club de Monaco needs to be introduced by two “sponsors” from YCM. The sponsor’s letter of introduction will explain the applicant’s motives for joining the Club. Prince Albert, President of the Yacht Club, presides over the meetings of the admissions’ committee. The role of the sponsor is essential. The latter, must integrate him into the life of the Yacht Club, accompany him, present him to the other members but also involve him in organized events, whether they be social or sports.

The sponsor also undertakes to ensure that his “protégé” embraces the YCM’s philosophy and values, will actively engage in the Club’s life and keep its reputation at the pinnacle.

A Regal Club and Natural Host of Prestigious Events

The Yacht club reaches well beyond being a club for owners of yachts and superyachts. It is actually an immense infrastructure akin to a multi-tiered island that organises not only events connected to the yachts and regattas but also all kind of sports and social events, dances and entertainment. High society balls, conferences, exclusive business gatherings and prestigious auctions are just part of the kaleidoscope of activity.

The members of the club and their guests have at their disposition restaurants with Michelin Star chefs (including the exclusive 1909) gyms and a library – and a spa-zone, not to mention the gorgeous pool and terraces overlooking the azure bay. There is a truly great bar, a hive of social contact, with an international reputation and winner of awards for its unique cocktails and the skills of its bar staff. Endless discovery is to be found in each private niche of this island-club.

Are you able to walk in a get a seat outside and order drinks or do you have to pre book, many thanks also if anyone has a link to food and drinks menu that would be fab

The Yacht Club isn't a public place, it's a private club. You may only go there in the company of a member, or by prior arrangement if you are a member of a number of twinned clubs around the world.

The closest you can get if you don't have either of these advantages is the terrace of the Wine Palace, a wine bar and shop with an enormous range, occupying one of the retail spaces on the ground level at the prow of the ship.

I think that what I've seen where people are sat out on the front with views of the harbour, thanks for the info

Yacht Club Monaco

Founded in 1953 by Prince Rainier and presided over by HSH Prince Sovereign Albert II since 1984, the Yacht Club de Monaco brings together more than 2.500 members from 80 nationalities. Many of the world’s most prestigious private yachts fly the Yacht Club de Monaco’s burgee, testimony to its unique position on the international yachting scene.

Inauguration of the new YCM building

At 43°44’15’’ N and 7°25’40’’ E, this hi-tech building which looks like a liner docked on Quai Louis II is home to two of the Principality’s historic clubs: the Société Nautique (rowing club) and the Yacht Club, a meeting point for owners and focus of international yachting activities. Alongside Lord Foster and Monegasque architect Alexandre Giraldi, Jacques Grange and Nelson Wilmotte have put their talents to the service of the new building’s interior and exterior layout and design.

“ Allow me to express a very sincere wish that the Yacht Club de Monaco fulfil its mission as a link between people who love the sea, that it serves the interests ”

— Prince Rainier III

To be a member of the Yacht Club de Monaco is above all a commitment. It is a desire to preserve a certain ethic, both on land and on the water, and to foster a respect for naval etiquette and preservation of the environment. The Yacht Club de Monaco’s philosophy is based on the need to perpetuate but also to pass on a heritage, inherited from our ancestors, to ensure that the Yacht Club remains a lively and progressive place.

The best bars in Monaco: where to drink during the Grand Prix weekend

As a beacon of prestige and glamour, Monaco unsurprisingly boasts an impressive bar scene to satisfy its rich, famous and beautiful visitors. 

From upscale cocktail lounges to chic waterside hangouts, discover where the best places are in the principality to enjoy a drink during the Monaco Grand Prix . Whether you’re looking to get into the party spirit or would prefer a more chilled out spot, there's guaranteed to be something to suit your mood.

Fusing high-end Asian gastronomy with a lavish bar and club concept, the Buddha Bar’s Monte Carlo outpost has been a mecca for the well-heeled since its arrival onto the Riviera in 2010.

The principality’s old concert hall forms the perfect setting for this opulently decked-out venue. Richly ornate ceilings, amber lighting and red and gold furnishings create an exotic yet extravagant Asian-inspired environment benevolently looked over by a three-meter tall Buddha statue. 

Legendary DJ Papa spins live tracks in a booth overlooking a bar where electric daiquiri and royal Jasmin cocktails are served. An extensive sushi menu ensures nobody goes hungry while a sprawling terrace is where revelers go to smoke hookahs in the warm Mediterranean air. 

Sass Café may not look like much from the outside, but its romantic, dimly lit red and gold interior has proved to be popular among some of Hollywood’s greatest. Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Will Smith, Beyoncé and Bono are just some of the big names seen here over the years. 

As one of the few-family-owned bars and restaurants in Monaco, its long-time owners are also regularly seen working the tables. Having recieved a makeover in 2019 by designers Green & Mingarelli Design, Sass Cafe is now adorned by opulent velvet, with leather, gold and burgundy touches befitting this prestigious private club. This alongside the leather club chairs and tufted booths reserved for bottle service create an intimate ambiance, while a back-lit DJ podium pays tribute to the 1960s Pop Art scene.

Dine on world-class cuisine accompanied by a soundtrack of live piano music before the champagne is passed around and the festivities rev up for the night. Patrons should dress to impress.

Crystal Bar & Terrace

Elegant and exclusive; no less could be expected from the bar that crowns the swanky Hotel Hermitage. Step inside and be wowed by the neo-classical styling, glittering chandeliers and gleaming mirrored bar before falling in love with the breath-taking sea views from the heated terrace.

Accompanying the plush surrounds is a high-class menu of champagne, caviar and oysters while the big wigs in town come here to sample the fancy cigar selection.

Offering a charming and laidback setting, the Crystal Bar exudes an air of grace that is hard to come by in other establishments in the area. Come here to enjoy good company within tranquil surroundings.

Le Bar Américain

With burnished leather armchairs, soft, stylish lighting and handsome polished wood, Le Bar Américain evokes a 1920s-style aura of old-school glamour. Although tucked away in the five-star Hotel de Paris, this venue looks as if it’s sprung from the pages of a F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. 

Live music performances every night offers up a variety of jazz, swing, blues and soul for guests to enjoy while sitting comfortably at one of the tables propped up against the counter.

There is also an extensive cocktail list, which rotates with the seasons. Favorites include the Pulcinella with its fresh mandarin orange, a surprising pear and cardamom combo called Pira Villosum and the Nutcracker with Grey Goose vodka by Alain Ducasse and hazelnut syrup.

Hôtel Metropole Bar

Occupying a privileged position on the ground floor of upscale Hotel Metropole, the Bar & Lobby seduces with its sensuous yet subdued atmosphere created by celebrated designer Jacques Garcia.  

Velvet chairs, marble statues and subtle lighting embody the Belle Époque aesthetic present throughout the entire hotel and create a chic yet timeless retreat open at any time of the day. Indeed, this is the perfect enclave for those looking to escape the frenetic energy of the Grand Prix.

Come in the morning for some time out over a coffee and pastry or stop by in the evening to sample the posh cocktails. Culinary delights from the hotel’s kitchen, which also serves the two Michelin star Joël Robuchon restaurant can also be enjoyed here for a more laidback dining experience.

No other bar screams Monaco as loudly as Blue Gin. Spread across a beachside space dubbed as the ‘waterfront’, this lounge bar offers the whole package: dreamy views of yachts cruising on the Med, inventive drinks, a Michelin-starred chef and a glam crowd who know how to party.

Situated within the high-class Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and Resort, Blue Gin welcomes guests to lounge on the sea-themed terrace during the day. But when the sun goes down, late-night revelers come out to sip cocktails, dance to beats spun by DJ Nicolas Saad and play billiards in the games room.

For a refreshing mix of cranberry, raspberry, lime and vanilla flavors try out the Purple cocktail.

Brasserie de Monaco

Packing in the punters with its organic lagers and ales is Monaco’s only brewery, Brasserie de Monaco. Originally founded in 1905, the bar closed for a 30-year hiatus before reopening its doors in 2009.

Large wooden tables and lashings of steel offer a contemporary setting as big-screen TVs broadcast live sports and DJs entertain the evening bar-goers. Saturday is always the busiest night of the week when revellers groove on the packed dance floor until the early hours of the morning.   

There is also a big beer garden and a menu of classic pub dishes. Don’t leave without sampling one of the innovative home-brewed beers, such as the Pils de Monaco – a light beer with a slightly spicy taste.

Stars ‘N’ Bars

Located in a prime position in Port Hercules, Stars ‘N’ Bars is a unique combination of American restaurant-cum-sports bar on the first two floors and a chic Riviera nightclub on the top level.

The venue’s popularity cannot be underestimated. Crowds flock here during the summer months and it is one of the busiest places in the principality during the Monaco Grand Prix. And despite launching over 30 years ago, its appeal shows no signs of fading, even among the famous faces in town.

Food-wise, expect a refined take on American classics while sport is televised across the venue. Drinks are best enjoyed in the open-air lounge bar against an ocean backdrop and, as night falls, cocktails, champagne and dancing become the main focus in the top-level club.

If you're looking to experience the thrills of the captivating Monaco Grand Prix, start planning your ideal charter experience with your preferred  yacht charter broker  or simply view all the available  Monaco yacht charters .

WELCOME, Y'ALL!

NEW MENU OUT NOW!!!

The anti-club club.

We are a space where all are welcome. We are a nerdy cocktail bar, a natural wine bar, and your favorite dive bar all in one. We believe in accessibility to deliciousness and that a good time shouldn’t be unattainable, but rather had by all. 

FOOD & DRINK

We got the goods.

The drinks at Yacht Club are first and foremost aimed at enjoyment - with the best quality of ingredients, care and love that make for some seriously fun (and delicious!) drinking. We lean coastal while not being tropical, we focus heavily on split based wine forward cocktails, and aim to get the most out of every ingredient that comes through our door - all of this is part of our ultimate belief and ethos in a holistic approach to sustainability.

Our wine list features some of the world’s most highly regarded farmers/winemakers at approachable price points, both by the glass and the bottle. The ever-evolving list of just over 200 labels of natural wine span the gamut from classic benchmarks to the most rebellious anti-establishment producers. Every night we pull something super special from the cellar to feature on our “Break Even Bottle” board where you can experience these rare and highly sought after wines by the ounce, at cost, because we believe that they are a luxury to be shared and enjoyed by all.

And for those that like to keep it easy, we've got you covered with cheap canned beers, combo packs, and the Old Number 7-11, which is a Jack + Coke w/ a hotdog because when we say we've got that dog in us this is what we mean.

Last but not least, the dog, the myth , the legend...Hollywood Frank! We use RiverBear Meats uncured all beef natural casing hotdogs, which are Denver’s finest in our opinion. Any dog can be made into a veggie dog, with Udi's gluten free buns available too. Food is served every night until 2 a.m.

We like to have fun

The Yacht Club crew is a dedicated group of like minded individuals all coming together with their unique perspective on the hospitality industry and a creative force like no other.
