The bartenders we interacted with while we sat at the bar were so cool and happy to talk to us about drinks and their knowledge which in France if your a bartender it's an actual profession. A job taken Seriously. They know their stuff! We came here a couple of nights and had Kir Royales and espresso martinis and some of their signature creations off the menu as well. Lloyd made me a mezcal drink which he created based on on my likes so that was kinda cool. Loved this bar and everyone needs to try it if your a cocktail drinker. It's not huge inside so get there early or make reservations. We got lucky both times with finding bar seating. Fabulous drinks and amazing service from Emma, Lloyd and Laura! Definitely a gem in Lyon.

The short food list features award-winning baguettes and a variety of local cheeses and produce. Yet the true gem of this bar is owner/proprietor Durnez. He's a multi-lingual world traveler, wine sommelier and expert on local wines, liquors, champagnes, travel advice, local products and an all-around great guy. Recently opened and featuring 12pm-12am hours, traffic is light during lunch and most weekdays and picks up later and the weekends. A visit or two made my trip to Lyon perfect and gave me excellent information on local sites, great conversation and travel assistance. Next time I'm in town I'll be there.

A resounding YES!…read more Came here on a Friday night with a friend to help them experience the world of jazz. A local trio including the owner of the venue stepped up to the stage and from the first chord progression the group clicked and went away with a groove that is second to very few. A Chicago native, I love jazz and local bands are notoriously novice, however this trio was one of the best groups I have ever seen. As many local artists take part at this venue, they similarly play to have fun, and spread the enjoyment as they play for an audience. The venue is very cozy, welcoming and accommodating. A great ambient light, amazing acoustics (It's a cave, yet it is padded) and the drinks were cheap. There was a 10-Euro cover, which may seem steep for local bands, but it was WELL worth the price. Wine selection was a bit small, but local and also very good. This is one of the best venues I have been to outside of the United States, and it's lack of generational history is made up with amazing artists. I will be back, and often. A must-see if in Lyon.

The space is a cave under the building, romantically decorated and acoustic. The wine is good and moderately priced. The space is similar to the Hot Club de Lyon which I visited two nights before, but the difference in the band is huge. This Jazz band is incredible. One of the best I have ever heard. And I am coming after visiting New Orleans and the clubs on "Franchman Street" and Bourbon Street". Not a recommendation. This is simply not to be missed by any jazz fan in Europe. Like "Papa Joe's jazz local" in Cologne.

I just went here for the first time on Monday, so I doubt it was a "typical night," but I thought I…read morewould leave a review anyway. My bf and I took a table and we both ordered the "punch" - for 2 Euros/glass, I figured we might as well try it. It was a fruity rum punch but I thought it tasted like singed plastic, so we switched to beer after that. We were pretty much left alone, but not in a rude, when-are-you-going-to-leave way. The atmosphere was super laid-back and it was very quiet. Besides us, there were some men seated at the bar who, judging by their chatting with the bartender, were local and regulars, and there was also a group of 20- or 30-somethings at another table. There was music playing in the background from I'm guessing an iPod or something. There is a record player behind the bar though, so I'm curious if they ever break out their vinyl collection. When we left, my bf started talking with the bartender, who told us that they sometimes have live music on Friday nights, and sometimes will show concert footage or other live recordings. (I wonder if they ever play Dark Side of the Moon over Wizard of Oz? I should suggest that next time we go in.) The bartender was very friendly; when we told her that we were new residents of the neighborhood, she welcomed us and offered to help if we ever needed anything. I was touched! All in all, I doubt this will ever be my favorite bar in Lyon, but it's close to home and I will definitely go back.

I am colored skin but I have never been treated indifferent because of it until Friday night around 12a.m. As we approached the entry the security blocked us immediately and said it was full. My cousin and I were confused since it was early and I didn't even say anything yet that made it seem like I was foreign. We moved aside and noticed that they allowed everyone else in that was of lighter skin tone. The girls who would go in ranged in size, attire etc. but they were all white. I'm from New York City and have traveled around the world, yet never have faced this kind of issue. I am also Dominican, how can you discriminate people who speak the language, can actually dance and know the music? I do not recommend this Club at all and I will pray for these security guards.
