El Bodegon, Bordeaux

This is a favorite place for students to party, being right in the heart of Bordeaux's nightlife. It's difficult to get to the bar in the evening, especially on a Thursday, which is students' night, and on theme nights even the pavement outside is crowded with revellers. Music is pretty run-of-the-mill and there is a party atmosphere all year round. There's nothing special about its decor, but it's a must for those who love friendly atmosphere and cheap beer.
