Brasserie de Monaco

Brasserie de Monaco seems to garner a lot of attention in the main port of Monaco.

And rightly so, this establishment can be considered a bit of everything; restaurant, bar, lounge, nightclub and brewpub.

Yes, Brasserie de Monaco has its own brewpub directly on the premises and here you can get a tour of how the beer is produced and test a variety of their satisfying and complex-tasting blends available.

This is a great place to stop by for lunch on a sunny day in Monaco and relax on the terrace as you enjoy a cool fresh beer and feast on one of their delicious menu choices.

As evening descends you will feel the mood slowly change, the scene lights up, and everything seems to become even more chic and full of life as the jet setters congregate at Brasserie de Monaco.

You certainly can’t miss finding this place, it’s located very close to the Stade Nautique Rainier III public swimming pool at: 36 Route de la Piscine at Port Hercule.

Brasserie de Monaco is open daily from 11am - 3am, weekends until 5am with Happy Hour happening daily between 5pm-8pm.  Weekends also tend to be the busiest especially when one of the many international DJ’s is in attendance or when a live band is playing.

The outdoor terrace area is large and has a very clean Mediterranean feel to it; I actually find it nice out here on a beautiful day or when you want to cool down from all the action inside on a hot night.

The interior of Brasserie de Monaco has a very ultra-sleek look and feel; this is a perfect space to enjoy an active evening with friends, and meet new ones!

Side note:  Although this is not a gay business, it is very gay-friendly. I suggest the best time to meet others is when it is busiest like on the weekends and with the help of such phone apps as Grindr or GayRomeo.  Using a phone app seems to be the initial key to getting most anything together in the principality and it does happen. 

Having said that, gay or straight, just go out and have a fantastic time at Brasserie de Monaco!

Stars 'N' Bars Monaco

Who knew that one afternoon I would be sitting on the terrace overlooking Port Hercule in Monaco at an American themed sports bar and restaurant called Stars‘N’ Bars? But you know what? It turned out to be a fun place!

Stars 'N' Bars Monaco

With Monaco known worldwide as being very high end, Stars ‘N’ Bars holds its own very well and doesn’t seem to come with the high sticker price attached.

Originally an abandoned warehouse, Stars ‘N’ Bars Monaco is now a gathering place for everyone. Here you will find business people on their lunch hours, families, and from what I have seen on my visits, quite a few very good looking single people getting a start to their night out.

Size wise, this restaurant is easily on par with those similar types of businesses in North America, so there is lots of room to sit down and enjoy a meal, have a meeting or mix and mingle with others.

In fact I recall my first visit with a few friends easily turning into a three to four-hour plus stay and our table on the terrace kept expanding with others joining in on the fun. Stars ‘N’ Bars is a great venue to meet new people.

The bar/restaurant itself is built over three levels with a state-of-the-art sound system, tons of sports memorabilia to see and purchase, an amusement arcade area, discotheque facilities and flat screens throughout the establishment and of course, the large terrace out front next to the water’s edge.

The staff are upbeat and quick to provide good service, and although I wouldn’t consider myself a ‘foodie’, the food here is delicious and very much like a North American restaurant would serve.So if you are from North America and have a craving for those home-style hamburger and fries, check out Stars ‘N’ Bars Monaco.

Open from 11am until 12am every day of the week, Stars ‘N’ Bars can be found at: 6 Quai Antoine 1er on the edge of Port Hercule.

 

Stars‘N’ Bars Monaco always seems to have a lively and fun atmosphere and given its location, it’s an ideal place to watch the day go by and see the twinkling of the lights around the principality during the evening while the yachts bounce gently on the water at the port.
