Le Bar is a new venue of iconic Michelin-starred restaurant Club Gascon. Destination by itself, this award-winning bar aims to take guests on a journey to the charming and elegant South West of France. The soul of Le Bar lies in hand-crafted cocktails, intriguing wines and frapas dishes, all served in an elegantly decorated room and accompanied by relaxing, easy-going music.
