Waka Bar — Sea View & DJ

On quai des États-Unis, at number 57 — where the Promenade des Anglais runs along the sea toward the Port — Waka Bar is one of Nice's most original nocturnal addresses. Its Hawaii-Los Angeles décor — bamboo, tropical neons, palms — creates a delightful contrast with the Mediterranean visible from the upper floor, whose terrace directly overlooks Nice's pebbles.

The concept is simple and effective: a bar with renowned cocktails, a dancefloor with DJ every evening from 10pm, and a festive atmosphere mixing international tourists and locals in a relaxed ambiance. The upper floor view over the Mediterranean at sunset, then over the quay lights at night, is a strong distinctive element.

Practical

Guest Reviews

Highlights: Waka is cited as the most fun and most original bar on the eastern Promenade. The sea view from the upper terrace is consistently mentioned as unique in Nice. Cocktails are described as among the finest in Nice nightlife. The festive atmosphere from 10pm is very appreciated.

Areas for improvement: Long queues in high season are mentioned in many reviews — early arrival recommended. Drink prices are at the higher end. Very young audience (18-25) may not suit everyone.

Overall: Waka Bar is the Promenade's most original bar-club experience — a unique Nice address for a festive evening with sea view, in a memorable tropical décor.
