Le Discopathe is a special place in the heart of Montpellier, just a short walk from the Place de la Comédie. It is much more than a record shop: it is a hybrid place to live and enjoy, where a record store, a gourmet café-bar, and a free coworking space all come together with music at the centre. You can sit down with your laptop (free WiFi), enjoy a locally roasted seasonal coffee, a smooth matcha latte, or a fresh homemade juice, while rare vinyl records play in the background. Open every day, it is the perfect spot to work, relax, discover great music, or simply share a nice moment with friends.
The food and drink menu is 100% homemade and local. You can enjoy gluten-free pastries and vegan treats (but not only!), along with an artisan espresso or a spicy chai latte. There are also warm and cold tapas, perfect with a natural or organic wine, a local craft beer, or a homemade cocktail. All the products are seasonal and sourced from producers in the South of France. For those who need to get some work done, the free coworking spaces offer a warm and creative atmosphere, ideal for digital nomads, students, and freelancers looking for inspiration, sometimes with intimate concerts, DJ sets, or community events happening around them.
Music is truly the soul of Le Discopathe. The shop holds more than 5,000 carefully chosen records, both new and second-hand, from collector reissues to underground artists and local new releases. The team are specialists in jazz and reggae, but you will also find soul, funk, house, techno, hip hop, and much more. You can listen before you buy and take your time to "dig" for that rare gem, with friendly advice always on hand. The venue also comes alive with regular events, including acoustic concerts, DJ sets, vinyl nights, and cultural gatherings organised with local associations. One highlight is the Disco Jazz Club, a twice-monthly jazz night led by Karl Moussavou. Whatever your taste, there is always something to discover here.
