    I would give this place 1,000,000 stars if I could…read more Of my 5-month studying abroad stint in Bordeaux, the Cock and Bull is arguably what I miss the most, and I definitely spent more time here than I ever spent in class. You will find no better pub in the city for expat Anglophiles, especially if you happen to be a student from the University of California studying abroad in France. If you fall into this category, let the bartender know...trust me, you will be hooked up. For everyone else, the Cock and Bull is a really lively pub managed by an Englishmen and staffed by French, American, and English bartenders who are all fluent in English and French. They have a full bar and a small but solid selections of beers on tap (Kilkenny, how I miss thee). It can get pretty crowded on Thursdays and Saturdays until the place closes at 2 AM. The drinks are strong and the crowd is a young mix of French and foreign college students. The onion rings and potato wedges are bomb. BEST PART: plastic cups are kept at the door, so if you're heading out you can take your beer TO GO. God I love Europe. Quiz night is a ton of fun on Monday nights, and gets very very crowded, so make sure to get here early for seats. The questions are read out in English and French and there's a chugging contest in the event of a tie. Can't beat that. On nights of a big football game, there's a giant pull-down screen that broadcasts the matches (they also let us watch the inauguration of Barack Obama here. It's appropriate to celebrate the first African-American president with shots of vodka...right?). Beer is about 7 euro, 4 euro during happy hour. Mixed drinks run from 8-10 if I remember correctly. The place is also really easy to get to - literally a hop, skip, and a jump from the Musée d'Aquitaine tram stop on Line B and a 1 minute walk from Pey-Berland/Hotel de Ville. What makes this place though, is the staff. Mickey, who runs the joint, is sometimes belligerent, always hilarious, very generous with the complimentary shots, and the sweetest guy ever. The bartenders are some of the friendliest you'll ever meet, too. So if you find yourself looking for a chill place to get your drink on in Bordeaux, head to C&B, have a whiskey-coca, toast to santé, and enjoy your night in one of France's most beautiful cities.

    1 Star only, the owner has been hateful and rude (obviously drunk)... Bad experience is this place,…read moreeven though this pub was supposed to remind us the Cock and Bull at W 45th St, NYc, whatever not at all, we ordered at 1:25a and they asked us to leave 5min after, like "give the money and get out". Like the bouncers wanted to play hard and so rude.

    I've been walking past this burger joint for months and tonight I decided to skip cooking dinner…read moreand indulge in a burger and fries. They have three different patties but I went with the good ole classic beef burger. You get 5 free toppings (fresh or grilled) so I went with lettuce, a sweet onion compote which was fantastic, and zucchini. They also have a few sauces to choose from and I went with one of their house sauces and it was also pretty good. The fries were heavenly. All I needed was a milkshake to complete my meal but all in all this place is a must. There aren't a whole lot of make your own burger places in Bordeaux so it was nice to be able to choose what went in my burger. Will be eating here more often now that I tried it.

    This is a classic American style burger joint. I love burgers, I love making burgers at home or in…read moreour restaurant and this place has a legitimate burger. It is really small inside on the first floor but they have seating on the second floor. They play really good music which can always add or take away from the food for us. The owners are really good guys and make everyone feel welcome. The burgers are made with quality ingredients. Ordering is styled after 5 Guys in the states. I like to get pesto on my burger and this was the first place I had it and it blew my mind, super good. Meat is fresh, veggies are fresh and the bun is decent. The place is still pretty new (they opened in January 2013) so they are still improving and getting better every time. Wait time can be a bit long sometimes as they are often training new staff. It is a bit pricey and could be a little cheaper because of the burger size. It's about 12-15 euro if you get fries and a drink. A good burger spot in the center of Bordeaux and a guaranteed good meal.

    I'm back at the Berthom! My favorite Bordeaux Craft haunt. I…read morecome EVERY day at 5pm (17.00 euro time) when I'm in Bordeaux. They have a happy hour weeks day from when the open to 7pm? (I can never remember exactly when) which is damn Crafty. The Crafting is pretty sharp otherwise, but after you've see the prices at Jaqen a few blocks up - enough to freeze the vats of Craft in your veins! - you'll think different. So they they normally only have 4-6 Craft taps and a lot of Belgian brew, but I don't know, I just dig the place. Just ask for the bottle list, I once had a Swedish Craft from Hilma brewed with actual French fries! Tasted like a 4am McDonalds in a bottle. The Craftenders are righteous. You'll need to buff up your glass of Craft French though. Mutant Disco II from Põhjala in Estonia any Crafter? Yes please! My Craft Jesus rating a 'my most Craftish taproom in France' 83 IBU

    Whoever says Bordeaux doesn't have a beer scene clearly hasn't been to Les Berthom, a tip-top beer…read morebar featuring brews from across France and around the world. Husband fancies himself a beer guru (who knew you could become a guru at something by chilling on the couch with your best bud for hours on end?!) and loved sampling the American-style IPAs brewed in Italy and Sweden. I happily sipped every last drop of my just-right sour ale. Les Berthom has dozens and dozens of beers on tap and in bottles, as well as a full bar. The snacks are small but mighty; we ordered all of them (obviously...) and I had to have my gooey cheese-drenched spoon pried from my salty sausage-coated fingers. Great vibe and attentive service as well--I'll certainly hit up again the next time I'm in Bordeaux.
