Big Moustache

Big Moustache is a beer bar and beer shop in the Pontots area of Anglet, facing the Forum. Its format combines a relaxed drinking spot with a casual food service, making it suited to after-work gatherings, family outings, group occasions and evenings with colleagues. The venue is close to Biarritz while retaining the practical, spacious character of a commercial district setting.

Beer is the central feature. A selection of taps serves beers from different styles and origins, with several available through a self-service system. Customers receive a magnetic card, select a tap and pour the quantity desired, with the charge calculated by the centilitre. This arrangement encourages tasting across several beers rather than committing to a single drink. The bar also serves wine, cocktails, spirits and soft drinks, giving non-beer drinkers plenty of alternatives.

The food offering is designed for sharing and informal meals. Boards, tapas, homemade fries and burgers sit alongside snacks inspired by local ingredients and flavours. The menu includes a vegetarian burger option, while vegetable-based sharing plates provide another choice for meat-free diners. The food works well alongside drinks, whether the occasion calls for a light bite, a table of shared dishes or a more substantial burger meal.

Inside, Big Moustache has an industrial-style decoration and large communal tables. The layout lends itself to social groups rather than intimate dining, with enough flexibility for birthday gatherings, hen and stag celebrations, leaving parties and professional get-togethers. Group menus can be arranged for organised events, and the venue also offers beer-tap hire for occasions held elsewhere.

Entertainment forms part of the venue’s character. The programme can include live concerts, DJ sets and jam sessions, while screens show major sporting events. These features give the bar a more active evening atmosphere than a traditional beer shop, particularly when a match or scheduled performance brings groups together. Big Moustache suits visitors looking for a casual place to explore different beers, share straightforward food and join a sociable event in Anglet.
