One of France’s quirkier resorts, Flaine has a small selection of après establishments in which to let off some steam - although if you’re after somewhere seriously lively, then maybe have a look at our pick of the best après-ski resorts.
A purpose-built resort dating back to the 1960s, it’s nestled in the Grand Massif ski area at 1,600m and features Brutalist architecture - a style which often splits opinion. It’s largely car-free and has two quick funiculars connecting different layers of the resort (Flaine Forêt and Flaine Forum).
Flaine is a great place for beginners and intermediates (advanced skiers have a good selection of pistes to explore, too!) and has a reputation for being family-friendly.
As a result, there are certainly some good bars and a club, but don’t expect a party town!

Our must-visit après-ski bars and nightlife hotspots in Flaine are:
3. Le White Pub
5. Bam Pub
The best bar for mountain partying
- Le Pente à Jules
Take ‘partying’ with a pinch of salt here - it’s certainly not a Folie Douce, but there are regular DJ sets at Le Pente à Jules which attract a crowd for some dancing and fun.
This is usually a bit later on in the day, after many hours of good food, drink and lounging in the sun (at least in March and April!).
The best bars for live music and DJs
- Le White Pub
- Brasserie Les Cimes
Le White Pub is one of the main places to party in Flaine. It’s a bar with a British feel to it, and regularly has live bands playing. It’s got a large selection of beers and has some good deals during happy hour.
The Brasserie Les Cimes also has live music, adding to its already strong atmosphere with good happy hours and games.
Another good bar for a lively evening
- Bam Pub
Located in Flaine Florêt and open from 4pm to 2am, Bam Pub is a good place to get stuck into straight off the slopes. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is always great, and they serve hearty food and a large selection of beers. There are also pool tables, darts boards, and other games for your entertaintment. It's kid-friendly early on but turns into a club later in the evening, and on some nights, there's live music.
The best nightclub for partying ‘til the early hours
- Les Caves Nightclub
Les Caves is the only place in Flaine which is open until deep into the night - 5am to be exact. It opens at 11pm and lets you get your high-energy dancing in without fear of judgement.
While there’s only 1 nightclub, at least you know that it’s the ultimate party place in town.
Best place to watch sports
- Le White Pub
As well as its live music that we’ve mentioned above, this place has got a large screen TV which means you won’t miss whatever big events are going on in the sporting world.

Best place for some fun and games
- Galaxy Bowling
This is a great place to go if you’re a family. You can enjoy a game of bowling from 5pm every day (or 2pm on bad weather days!) while staying topped up with a drink from the bar nearby.
There’s also a games room with pool tables, and TVs with live sport, meaning you can keep track of any important games while also having a good time.
Later on in the night, Galaxy Bowling stays open until 3am with tunes going on for a fun time.
