A word of warning: it is a little expensive, and after an hour or so of the drinks and the view it is definitely time to move on. But it's certainly worth a visit with friends - a good "1st stop" of the night. Just be sure to get a table near the window!

On my first visit to Lyon, I convinced my friend for us to make a stop at Le Fantôme, so we did and…read morewe were both very confused because although the menu items matched those in the pictures, we felt like we were in the wrong bar. I say this because in one of the pictures we saw a rooftop view but when we arrived it was just a two story, house-like ambiance, which at the end of the day worked out anyway as we were very comfortable and it wasn't noisy at all, but still very confusing. The drinks were out of this world! I got the shark in a bikini or something along those lines and it was served in a Tiki cup while my friend's was served in this little stout looking jar. My drink wasn't too strong which is exactly how I like my cocktails so I was very impressed. All in all I would definitely come back here if ever in Lyon again :)

Friendly bar staff. Younger crowd is also very friendly. The view is to die for. A must for…read morevisitors!

We loved that it's lots of locals and not overly hyped like some Parisian bars. If you're in Lyon, definitely don't miss it... it's a great cocktail scene here.

We went into this place with no expectations, just wanted to make a stop on the way home. We were…read morewarmly greeted by the bartender Lionel. We were feeling adventurous after spending almost 2 weeks in wine country and decided to ask him for a suggestion in the cocktails. He prepared a ginger beer and rum one for me, it was very good. We then decided to order a cheese and charcuterie plate, and switched to red, also very good. As we chatted with him and his colleague we discussed the merits of the American cocktail known as the Martini and how it is not a French thing at all. Once we finished our food and a few glasses of wine, he insisted on making and buying us a Martini, we were a little more than tipsy by this time and decided we could share one. Result: we now know where to get the best Dry Gin Martini, straight up with olives in all of France, it was so good that the hubby sang them a little Singing in the rain ditty with his umbrella, and we all parted with big smiles on our faces. Thanks and see you next time.

This is an awesome place to hang out with friends and grab a drink. The food was not bad either but…read morethis is definitely not a food place. We stumbled upon this place after being rejected from two restaurants in Lyon because we didn't have a reservation. We were hungry and tired after a day of traveling but the monkey club took us in and fed it well. The service was great. The waiter did not speak much English but tried his best to help us and was able to understand us! We got a grill cheese sandwich and meat and cheese plate to go with our alcohol. All tasted good but we were really hungry! Ask the waiter to recommend a drink! The ambience is also a plus with nice gothic vibe!!

My Vesper was excellent and the color was perfect. We did not get food. We thought we would stop in for a cocktail before our checkout tomorrow.

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.
