So glad this bar was open after the Women's World Cup final! Drinks were cheap and the bartender…read morewas super friendly and quick! She also gave us stamps that allowed us to get into another club for free. Music was pretty good. Only downside is that there's only one toilet. In a bar full of women, that's a disaster waiting to happen. The queue was super long hahahhaa. Wish the bar was a little bit bigger, but would definitely come back!

I had been traveling through the country, and it was my last night in Lyon, and in France. I…read moredressed up in the best clothes I had with me and went out looking for a gay/gay-friendly bar. Traveling alone and being a foreigner, I was hoping to find a place where I felt I could fit in, relax, and have a beer. Instead I found L Bar. I walked in (Monday, May 23, 2016, ~ 11pm) and approached the bar to order a beer. The female bartender (~5'6, short hair, brunette, fair-skinned) immediately came from around the bar, and spoke to me in French. Although I'm conversant in French, I am hearing impaired and, because of the loud music, I was unable to hear her. She shouted at me whether I understood English, and I nodded. She then told me it was a "lesbian only" bar (despite there being two other men sitting at the bar right in front of me), and asked me to leave. I asked if I could stay for a drink, and she said no. Shocked and in disbelief, I asked again, and she confirmed I was not allowed to stay. She walked me outside and directed me to another bar. I felt humiliated, very sad, and alone. I went in dressed well, mild-mannered, treated no one with disrespect, and wanted no more than to sit at the bar and drink a beer. The bartender's stated reason for asking me to leave, that I was not a lesbian, was illegal discrimination under the laws of France. The only other plausible reason was that she thought I could not speak French, but that, too, is discriminatory. In the service industry, it is a universal custom, regardless of the country, the city, LGBT business or not, to be welcoming and inviting to customers. And in all human interactions, people deserve to be treated with a minimal level of respect and basic human decency. L Bar could not even meet this minimum standard. Obviously, L Bar doesn't treat everyone this way, and they might even treat you well. But I ask that you stand in solidarity with me and not patronize this establishment. At the very least, don't risk the possibility that the bartenders there will find some reason to humiliate you or treat you as less than human.

Nous proposons donc des produits frais, de saison, biologiques, locaux et issus de circuits courts ! (Vous retrouverez toutefois une rayon dit "Marco Polo" au fond du magasin rassemblant des produits tels que le chocolat, le café, le thé...). Nos produits sont vendus en vrac, en liquide, à la coupe ou dans des contenants consignés : vous achetez la juste dose et faites des économies sur l'emballage ! Vous trouverez également quelques plus qui font la différence comme un mur végétal d'herbes et d'aromates. Et pour aller au bout de la démarche zéro déchet, un espace atelier est prévu à l'étage du magasin. Nous y animerons des ateliers de Do It Yourself et d'Upcycling, des soirées à thématique écologique et des formations pour agir sur les déchets... à la source, mais aussi devenir un lieu d'échange, de partage et de réflexions. C'est grâce à vous, clients, que nous pourrons atteindre notre objectif zéro déchet. En ramenant vos bocaux, boîtes et autres contenants, vous contribuez à la réduction des déchets : les vôtres comme les nôtres. Aussi, nous avons décidé de ne pas avoir de poubelles et trouver mille et une manière de réduire nos déchets.
