Marseille's Go-To Beer Bar on Cours d'Estienne d'Orves
Les BerThoM is the kind of bar you wish every neighborhood had. Tucked onto the Cours d'Estienne d'Orves just two minutes from the Vieux-Port, it's a beer bar that takes its brews seriously without taking itself too seriously. The selection spans French and European craft beers — think cherry beers, apple beers, and plenty of taps you won't find elsewhere in Marseille. The staff are genuinely knowledgeable and happy to steer you toward something that matches your taste, whether you're a casual sipper or a hardcore hophead. One reviewer raved about the "bières sensationnelles" including a gluten-free option on tap, which is a rare find.
The atmosphere is what keeps people coming back. It's relaxed, unpretentious, and draws a loyal local crowd — the kind of place where you sit on the terrace, order a couple of tapas, and let the evening stretch out. TripAdvisor reviewers call it a bar that's becoming "un incontournable de Marseille," praising the good vibe and friendly servers. There are occasional live concerts too, which adds to the appeal without turning it into a full-on music venue.
Is it the most glamorous spot in the city? No, and that's the point. Les BerThoM trades on authenticity and quality rather than flash. If you want a genuine Marseille beer experience — a solid pint, good company, and zero attitude — this is your spot. Just don't be surprised if "one drink" turns into three.
Lire en français
Les BerThoM, c'est le bar à bières que tous les quartiers devraient avoir. Posé sur le Cours d'Estienne d'Orves à deux minutes du Vieux-Port, c'est un endroit qui prend ses bières au sérieux sans jamais se prendre la tête. La carte balaie large : bières françaises et européennes, bières artisanales, des pressions qu'on ne trouve pas ailleurs à Marseille. Les serveurs connaissent leur sujet et vous guident sans snobisme — un atout quand on ne sait pas quoi choisir entre une bière à la cerise, une à la pomme ou une sans gluten en pression.
L'ambiance fait le reste. C'est un lieu décontracté, sans chichis, qui attire une clientèle locale fidèle. On s'installe en terrasse, on commande quelques tapas, et la soirée s'étire toute seule. Sur TripAdvisor, on lit que c'est un bar "en train de devenir un incontournable de Marseille" — bonne ambiance, serveurs sympas. Il y a même des concerts live de temps en temps, sans que ça devienne une salle de spectacle.
Ce n'est pas le bar le plus flashy de la ville, et c'est exactement ce qu'on y cherche. Authenticité, qualité de la bière, et zéro prétention. Si vous voulez un vrai moment marseillais autour d'une bonne pinte, c'est une valeur sûre. Attention quand même : "juste une bière" se transforme vite en trois.
