I was out alone that night and asked them to keep my drink behind the counter for a bit because I didn't want to leave it unattended for safety reasons while I stepped outside to smoke. When I came back, they couldn't find the drink, so I asked for another one at their expense, since it wasn't my fault they had lost it. Instead of handling the situation like proper human beings, they turned it into a huge problem and argued with me all together, even though I explained the situation multiple times in a reasonable way. At some point I just lost it and started raging, because this kind of service is disgusting. All three of them deserve to be fired immediately, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone as long as these bartenders are still around. I really hope the owner of Shapko sees this review and takes proper action, because uniting against your customers instead of handling things adequately is the worst thing you can do.

Cute jazz bar recommended by the locals! We were looking for chill activities near Old Nice and…read morethis was one. I recommend coming here around 10-10:30 before it gets crowded so you can at least get a seat or have some standing room because it gets packed quickly and then security starts only letting people in if there's room. The live music took a while to set up and they really only started playing around 11-ish. By then, it's super fun and everyone gets into it. In terms of drinks - for the love of god, DO NOT order a cocktail. The wine and beer is where it's at. If there is one thing to take away from this review, it is to order the wine or even a beer! There is little cell signal in the venue but somehow, you can get a few bars near the bar. It's open until 3 AM or so if you're looking to stay out late.

But on Saturday night, this is the place to be. Well I should say most Saturday's. The place turns into a Jazz/improv concert joint, where musicians from all over the world come play with their instruments. I stood in the middle of people enjoying a great music and a drink. Most of the audience is made of musicians and singers, locals and not, cheering every so often for someone's solo performance. The atmosphere is contagious and you'll find yourself smiling. If you play an instrument, feel free to jump in. Drinks are cheap, music is good and the people are just happy to be there.

Chaque semaine, les clients restent jusque sur le trottoir pour écouter et voir des groupes de la région se produire en live, dont certains sont prévus sept mois à l'avance ! La clientèle nocturne ne s'y trompe pas et vient de tout le département (Vence, Monaco, Cannes...) pour animer ce quartier d'ordinaire plutôt calme. En journée, les habitués prennent l'apéritif et jouent aux cartes. On peut aussi y lire des B.D. et des revues dans la bibliothèque autogérée et y admirer des expositions diverses d'artistes locaux.

The beer selection is good, as for me I like the locals selection of wines sold en pichet. We ordered some cheese and charcuterie places and were quite content to hang out and people watch for a couple of hours.

The cheese fries were good but came in a cone so they got soggy under the cheese very quickly. The sandwich was tasty, though there wasn't much cheese.

The downstairs has more traditional bar seating and an outdoor patio. The upstairs has "club" seating with high tops and plush chairs surrounding lower coffee tables. There are also two little balconies to sit at outside looking at the beautiful water.
