Patrice and Véronique have transformed the former Gwened pub into the vibrant Ur Banne Kafé, which opened its doors at the end of October. The name cleverly combines the Breton word for “a glass” with the English term “urban,” reflecting the café’s dual atmosphere: a lively sports bar on the lower level and a chic, relaxing lounge upstairs, complete with a game room featuring darts and foosball. The venue aims to be a multicultural meeting point,hosting events like the musical storytelling “Nom d’une poule” for children,which will return monthly. Regular highlights include jazz jam sessions every Tuesday, monthly concerts, and live karaoke nights. The café also offers a diverse menu, featuring dishes like couscous and pot-au-feu, with daily specials priced at €8.50 and full meals at €12.50. Open from Monday to Saturday, Ur Banne Kafé invites everyone to enjoy its unique blend of culture, cuisine, and community. For more information, call 02.97.63.44.43.
