Le Bar

Sweep through the Sofitel Grand Hotel’s lobby to reach a drinking space seemingly built for deal-clinching drinks. This is as pricey as drinking in the city gets but it's worth it just to experience the atmosphere of what was the premier pre-war resort hotel on the Baltic. There's a wonderful private garden in which to sit back and enjoy the view over the pier and beach and try to imagine the great (and not at all great) names that have passed through this bar - photographs on the walls help with that. You'll find regular live music on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays too.
