Complètement redécoré par Franck Deust début 2009, la Black affiche désormais une déco sobre sans être froide, avec des volumes repensés et des teintes alliant gris métallisé et gris taupe. Et pour ne pas oublier l'héritage culturel des Soumano, une grande peinture représentant une part d'Afrique a été faite sur l'un des murs par le décorateur.

One of the goons tried to be clever and ask if I speak serbian so he can give me an explanation. I just said sure, I'll just use google translate. Of course he was totally at a loss aftet that. Seriously, I don't have very much respect left for french people. The fact that this seems to be normal in this country and they put up with this kind of treatment shows how little self respect these people have. And it's not like french clubs are known to be so great. In any proper country this kind of a club would have already shut down.

Probably the worst clubbing experience I've ever witnessed - there was no clubbing as a matter of…read morefact, as the guards would not let me and 4 other girls in. We asked why they wouldn't let us in, we were old enough, we all had ID's, we wore decent clothes and were barely tipsy, yet they denied us access. They had no real answer to our question, all they did was ask us to wait outside the line and after a good 10 minutes they admitted that we wouldn't get in, no matter how long we waited. We asked why, over and over again, yet the guards just shrugged their shoulders in a degrading manner and told us to go. We weren't the only ones who experienced this at all, several people were standing like question marks after having been told to wait outside the line for no proper reason. We asked around a little bit and some people said the guards were very selective, and that we should stand in the (very) long line AGAIN to try and get in. We didn't have the energy nor the mood to try again, which is why we headed the long way home, without getting even a single reason for being denied access to the club we were all so excited to go to.

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.
