Livingston

Livingston is a natural-wine and orange-wine bistro at 5 Rue Crudère, between Cours Julien and Notre-Dame du Mont in Marseille's 6th arrondissement, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The venue pairs a low-intervention wine list with vinyl listening and small plates, so it works as a wine bar and a relaxed evening spot rather than a high-energy night out. The neighbourhood is one of the most active nightlife districts of Marseille, known for street art, independent shops and bars, and the bar draws a creative, locally rooted crowd alongside visitors who follow natural-wine culture. Patrons are typically adults in their late twenties to forties, and the atmosphere is informal, intimate and conversational. There is no dress code; casual clothing is standard. Music is played from vinyl records, which sets a warm, unhurried tone and is a defining part of the experience. The drinks programme focuses on natural wines and orange wines, usually served by the glass or bottle, with staff able to suggest options by taste. Small plates such as cheese, charcuterie and seasonal dishes accompany the wine, though the menu changes and should be checked on the day. Typical prices for a glass of natural wine in Marseille run around €6-9 (~$6.90-10.35). OpenStreetMap lists evening opening from 7PM to 10:30PM, Thursday to Monday, which suggests a dinner-and-drinks pattern rather than late-night closing; confirming on livingstonmarseille.com is advisable because hours may change. No cover charge applies, and drinks are charged individually. Because the room is small, reservations are sensible for groups and for Friday and Saturday evenings. The bar is an easy starting point for a night around Cours Julien, with larger concert venues such as Espace Julien and Le Molotov close by.
