La Rascasse
Iconic F1 bar on the Monaco Grand Prix circuit at Port Hercule, reimagined as a modern sports bar celebrating motorsport heritage.
Overview
La Rascasse is one of Monaco's most recognisable venues, named after the famous final corner of the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit. Located on the Quai Antoine 1er overlooking Port Hercule, it occupies a position that is part of motorsport history — the Rascasse corner is one of the most technically demanding turns on the Monaco street circuit. The bar reopened in April 2026 after a major renovation with a new F1-inspired design.
Concept
The venue has been reimagined as a modern sports bar celebrating the world of sport, with a particularly strong identity shaped around motorsport. The interior features F1-themed decor, multiple screens for live sporting events, and a terrace with views across the harbour. Major matches and sporting events are screened regularly, making La Rascasse a social hub for sport in Monaco.
Food and Drinks
The entire food and beverage offering was reworked for the 2026 relaunch, with new cocktail menus and a selection of finger food and sharing plates designed for a convivial bar atmosphere.
