Méribel has a lively après scene and lots of Brits frequent the resort (depending on how you look at it, that can be a plus or a minus).
La Folie Douce is the youth magnet après bar in La Saulire’s mid-station, and at the end of the day the mostly British-run bars in the resort center and around Rond Point are often packed with party goers. Then the action begins at venues like Jack’s Bar and continues until the early morning hours at O’Sullivans much later.

Barometer
In the middle of town, with an English pub atmosphere and a large selection of wines, the Barometer has occasional music, but is generally a bit more relaxed than the busier places nearby.

Jack’s Bar
What makes Jack’s Bar one of Méribel’s most popular venues is its stand-up comedy, live music and plenty of drink promotions. Open daily from 9am to midnight, the bar is at the foot of the resort’s central pistes and serves both lunch and dinner meals, including special themed nights every week.

The O’Sullivans (Sullys)
More commonly known as Sullys, this establishment is the only late night bar and is open from 11 pm to 5 am. There is live music and events seven days a week, within a 10-minute walk of the city centre. The atmosphere is wild, until the early hours expect to see tourists and seasonalists shrug and raise the roof.
