Guinguette Chez Alriq, Beer garden and guinguette on Garonne riverbank, Bordeaux, France
Guinguette Chez Alriq sits on the right bank of the Garonne and offers outdoor seating with multiple food stations: a canteen, a tapas stand, and a pizza trailer. The layout creates an informal riverside dining space where people move between different food options and gathering areas.
The establishment has operated for 35 years as a social gathering point in Bordeaux. It continues a tradition of riverside leisure spaces where residents come to unwind and connect over food and music.
Live music fills the summer season with reggaeton, Latin rap, Balkan melodies, and Caribbean jazz performances. Visitors experience both food and entertainment while sitting alongside locals who come for the river views and social gatherings.
The site operates seasonally from May through October, open Wednesday to Sunday. Visitors can find moules marinières, free-range chicken, and other dishes across the different food stations throughout the riverside area.
The location sits in La Bastide, a neighborhood across the river often overlooked by visitors, yet its position offers unobstructed views back toward the city center. This riverside position makes it a gateway to exploring the quieter eastern side of Bordeaux that many travelers miss.
