The story of Sœurs Carnage is, above all, one of professional and personal chemistry between Pauline Barbier and Charlotte Crenn. Both hailing from Nantes’ cocktail scene, their paths crossed behind the bars of other venues around the city. They envisioned a hybrid, inclusive space that evolves with each passing day. In their hands, mixology becomes “liquid cuisine”—a blend of technical precision and socially conscious storytelling, where each creation pays homage to women or cultural struggles. From this bond and a healthy dose of boldness, Sœurs Carnage was born.

But the adventure didn’t stop with this initial duo. Chloé joined the team, immediately becoming the third pillar of this sisterhood. Today, whether you come for the “Sœurs” phase—calm, creative, and focused on tasting—or dive into the liberating “Carnage” of the late night, it’s this tight-knit trio that welcomes you. Pauline, Charlotte, and Chloé don’t just pour drinks; they’ve built an inclusive haven where people come for the taste but stay for the soul and freedom that radiate from the space. It’s their shared vision—of a socially conscious party and a judgment-free welcome—that makes every evening here a special moment.

“We wanted to take an active role in shaping our culture. We didn’t feel represented in the public sphere as it was presented to us, so we created a space where we feel safe, where we can offer socially conscious experiences and break away from the conventions of traditional mixology.”
