La Taverne

Savoie


Within a solid stone-and-timber building in the centre of Méribel sits this informal bar with a bluesy soundtrack. Inside there's a woodsy, chalet vibe while the terrace is jam-packed with skiers and boarders talking epic descents. There's live music and DJ sets a few nights per week, sports screenings and pub food from 6.30pm to 10pm.
