Bar La Mine, live music, La Plagne 1800

La Mine Bar Plagne 1800

Bar La Mine La Plagne 1800 is the liveliest bar in La Plagne that you want to be seen at. It's the most popular of the Plagne 1800 bars, and it's the main venue for live music in all of the La Plagne villages.

La Mine Bar is an English-style pub in the middle of Plagne 1800. Decorated in the style of an old mine, you'll find old mining carts for tables, pick axes on the walls and other decorations, making the place feel super cool and underground. It is a bit of a shock to head out from the sunny outdoors into La Mine, where there isn’t much natural light. It does feel quite dark, but that just adds to the awesome atmosphere for après ski and evening gigs.

La Mine does have free Wi-Fi throughout the bar. Just ask for the code from one of the bar staff. But the coverage is patchy, and the phone signal can be a little bit spotty.

Sports Bar La Plagne

If you're a keen sports fan, then you can expect to watch all of the Six Nations, football and other sports events in La Mine. And if they're not showing something you want to watch, you can ask one of the bar staff, and if they can put it on for you, they will.

La Mine has always been a hub for English seasonnaires and French visitors alike. However, when it was refurbished and made much larger for 2019, the bar really took off to another level. There's a huge range of beers on draft and IPAs, which change regularly. Plus, they've got lots of home spirits as well, which you can buy with discounts and different drinks promotions throughout the week.

Bar La Mine La Plagne: Après Ski

If you're looking for a good après in La Plagne, then La Mine is 100% one of the places you want to head to. They have a great selection of live bands and duos playing that a lot of the other bars in La Plagne don't have, and then in the evenings, they'll have a great selection of bigger bands and also DJs playing sets up until one or two in the morning.

Drinks promos are things like Mojito Mondays, Long Island Tuesdays, Jäger Bomb evenings or two two-for-one Wednesdays; there are different things happening every day. Check the La Mine Facebook to find out exactly what's happening and which bands are playing.

If you are travelling with kids, then they are absolutely welcome. You'll often see the owner, Marie, with her two young children in the bar. I would say, however, whilst kids are welcome and you can take them to watch the sport (which I have done to watch rugby or football), it gets lively in the evening, and people are drinking and partying quite heavily. So it may not be so child-friendly during the busier après ski evenings and nighttime events. You can find some great family-friendly après ski activities here.

I should also mention that the toilets were refurbished during the refurbishment, and they are really nice in a ski resort where most of the toilets are absolutely terrible, and there's no space to move around in them. It's refreshing to go to La Mine, where the toilets are massive, and there's plenty of space, and they're cleaned regularly.

That’s La Plagne @ La Mine

Bar La Mine Plagne 1800 is a firm favourite with locals and visitors. It's definitely worth a visit whether you're looking for an après ski party or an evening night out. The La Plagne free shuttle bus stop is right outside of La Mine. So, if you are looking to get down to 1800, you can ski down during the day. If you are looking to take the bus home, the free shuttle bus from outside leaves every 15 minutes and takes you to Bellecôte or to Plagne Centre. You can quickly find your way to the villages further down the road from those connecting points.

TOP TIPS

Check the La Mine Instagram to see what bands are playing on which nights when you're in La Plagne.
If you're heading for après ski, I'd recommend changing your ski or board boots before heading there. You can go in your ski gear and leave your skis and boards outside, but it's much more comfortable without this gear with you.
Try some of the local Savoyarde beers and IPAs; there's plenty to choose from. My favourite, however, is the prosecco, which is really nice, and they do a fantastic Espresso Martini for less experienced skiers.
