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!

This was my favorite bar in Lyon by far. Checks all the boxes. Great menu , service, quality and…read moreambiance. 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.

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 :)

This bar/restaurant is conveniently located in the University district. It's just a block up from…read morethe Rhone and 3 blocks from the cruise ship docks. We were there on a Sunday (late) lunch time. There were plenty of people there, and my wife and I were definitely the oldest! Most people were partaking of a nice looking brunch type buffet, make your own crepes type set up. It looked good, but my wife and I were there for cocktails. The bartender was very interested when I instructed her on how to make a "Gentleman's Agreement" for me. My wife's Aperol Spritz was already in her repertoire. From the look of the place, and the signs posted about encouraging customers to "take a shot" and mix n match liquors and fruits to create interesting new drinks, I suspect the Sunday afternoon and Saturday night vibes are very different!

I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars. I like this place, definitely has charm and the personnel are…read morevery nice, but it's missing something. It's a new establishment and I think they are still getting their legs so I'll give it a second try and see. But to talk about my visit yesterday, The good: staff, outdoor tables, interior decor, olive tapenade! The bad: my friend's beer was a little flat, my mojito and my friend's house mojito made with clarette, weren't great, just ok. I knocked over a glass and broke it and no one came to take the broken glass away. After that, we decided it was time to move and went to Gonzo Bar.

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.
