After Four Months of Renovation, La Rascasse Takes a New Turn
Press Release - Monaco, April 14, 2026 - This Thursday, April 9, La Rascasse, a legendary bar in the Principality of Monaco, reopened its doors to the public after four months of renovation work led by the Construction and Built Heritage Department of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer. Located on Port Hercule, like a watchtower overlooking Monaco's most prestigious motor races, La Rascasse now pays tribute to motorsport in a completely transformed setting. More than just a bar, La Rascasse is a vibrant social hub where the spirit of sport meets celebration, with elegance and simplicity.
For over 70 years, it has been one of the must-visit nightlife destinations in the Principality. On Thursday, April 9, La Rascasse, an iconic venue on Monaco's port, unveiled its brand-new look to guests. Reinvented as a chic sports bar, the venue now celebrates motorsport through a striking ceiling made of car engines and mechanical parts, a checkered floor reminiscent of starting grids, and a red-and-white décor.
On the walls, framed photographs of historic races; on a podium, drivers wearing helmets and racing suits, including that of Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc. After four months of renovation, the spirit of La Rascasse has been reimagined, embodying the raw energy of a racing circuit.
