La Tram Bar

La!tram Bar is Calais's LGBTQ+ beacon, a warm, intimate cocktail lounge at the entrance to Calais Nord that has become a real pillar of local queer life on the Côte d'Opale. In a softly lit, tastefully themed setting, owner Martial gives everyone a genuinely personal welcome, mixing excellent cocktails and drawing a friendly mix of gay, lesbian, trans, bi and straight regulars. It punches well above its size on entertainment, hosting drag shows, stripper nights, live acts and even board-game and chess evenings, and has been a launchpad for touring artists. Inclusive, convivial and judgment-free, it's the go-to spot for a night out in Calais.
