The best bars and cafés Rhône-Alpes

The Regence is aBar and Brasserie located at the corner of a building, opposite the market square and the pedestrian street. An ideal location in the summer, to enjoy a drink on the terrace and enjoy the warmth of the sun in winter to enjoy a good cup of coffee or tea while while having a wonderful view outside through large windows. You may as well take a break after shopping, a lunch break during your work before the daily menu or the dish proposed by the chef. The relatively large and bright dining room provides a calm and relaxing atmosphere in a decor reminiscent of the piano bar style. The service itself is fast, keeping professional discretion and sympathy. Regence is the idyllic place to enjoy a moment of relaxation.

Change your vision of karaoké, come to the K Box Club, an address among the most Futé. Imported from Asia, the real karaoké is not what you imagine or what you could practise during an evening too sprinkled (that is to say, an old-fashioned thing where one is humiliated in public with a micro in the hand). Karaoké is undoubtedly the best way to have fun with friends and to really relax in the ideal conditions of comfort and conviviality. Easily accessed via line A metro, station République, K Box Club undoubtedly offers the best experience of karaoké in Lyon and all the Metropolis. Here, people come with friends, with colleagues, in family and everyone has fun like never before - much better than watching TV (for the fans of N'oubliez pas les paroles...) or in our bathroom - between us in a fully isolated private lounge, protected from outside looks and the displaced judgements. At K Box Club, all the lounges, small and large (the largest can host up to 15 people at the same time), are perfectly equipped with comfortable banquettes and professional equipment to sing. And to sing, the choice is huge with a catalogue of more than 30,000 titles! Whatever your style, your desires, of yesterday and today, you will inevitably find your happiness and your favourite songs in all languages (it is even more amusing in a foreign language...). Moreover, K Box Club always innovates with a connected equipment that preserves the playlist of guests who can establish them in advance on the Internet. Another innovation, the Pop Up, karaoké on wheels that will move through all France starting from January 2016. In Villeurbanne, during the karaoké, you can sip a cocktail to clear up the voice before sharing new giggles. Before or after the karaoké, you can prolong the pleasure of being at K Box Club by settling at Lounge, a stylish bar in the 1960s style revisited for a drink or to eat an Asian tapas menu. The K Box Club, it is the original version of karaoké, the only real Futé.

Opened in May 2021, this establishment offers a true gustatory journey. Here, everything is homemade and the menu adapts to the seasons. In this paradise of good taste, where pastries, sandwiches and cakes make our taste buds salivate just by looking at them, the products are local. The decoration in natural tones blends perfectly with the theme of this tea room. In other words, it is an establishment as we like them which allows to associate a tasty meal and a little rest in the heart of downtown. Authentique also does take-away sales.

The Jardin du Thé, created by brothers Mathias and Gaël Le Gloan, is a delight to discover on this peaceful pedestrian street. A haven of peace in the heart of the city, where people love to come and recharge their batteries. A garden divided into two parts, each on a different side of the street, between boutique and tea room. With an adorable team, comfort in every season with delicious homemade iced teas in summer and a selection of over 300 teas and infusions served hot, accompanied by homemade pastries. Smiles and flavors to share.

Located between the Lecoq garden and the Place de Jaude, this Irish pub offers a wide range of beers, rums, whiskies and cocktails to enjoy with friends. It is a place of meeting and cultural exchange, since French and foreign students like to meet there. It is frequent to hear several languages spoken. The waiters are very professional. A room upstairs can be privatized for events. On ASM match days, the atmosphere of this pub is supercharged. Theme nights and other concerts are also proposed.

Behind a huge private club-style door, a bric of chairs, tables and armchairs, all right from antique shops, creates an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. On the shelves, classical literature prompts to ask. And to perfect this décor, exhibitions of pictorial artists in the region are organized regularly, with rotation every two to three months. It is only possible to choose among the many wine-growing wines offered by the card, the vintage that will best accompany this moment. Unless you prefer to draw in coffees and tea-making teas.

To accompany the wine (and not the reverse), the establishment uses artisanal products, charcuterie, cheeses, smoked trout from the Jura and other foie gras de duck. Similarly, walnuts, figs and other dry fruits are offered to customers with their order.

Unclassifiable, inescapable, it is there that everything begins and it is also there that everything ends since... 139 years! In other words, the Buvette du Marché is one of the city's institutions. A place that is both picturesque and atypical. Picturesque, but the Buvette is not obsolete and is even more beautiful, even warmer to welcome us at dawn when a cup of coffee is needed to start the day before going to the market or to work. A day that continues between the terrace, animated at all hours, and the bar where you can enjoy meeting new people. Perfect service and good humour guaranteed for this bar which is part of the heritage of Annecy.

A Grisbi that touched us with its velvety paw. A place beautifully inspired by the speakeasies of the American Prohibition era, yet with an elegant French touch. Lovely welcome and service from a team of professional cocktail specialists. In this universe blending cinema, music (excellent by the way), architecture and interior design, we keep coming back to taste the 4 seasonal menus and enjoy the perfect cocktail to suit our mood. A must-try is "le digeo gourmand", a homemade pastry accompanied by a top-of-the-range digestif. Cocktail classes and mixology workshops, spirits tasting evenings. A Grisbi is also available for private hire.

Sweeteria is a "factory of artisanal sweets" as its owner Cindy likes to call it, recently reconverted in pastry making. In her small cozy nest of about twenty places, completed by a small terrace, she honors her Caribbean-Latino roots. You can enjoy a Brazilian coffee or a Kréyol cocoa, served with a good cookie made with homemade peanut butter and unrefined sugar. At noon, wraps, in limited quantities to avoid waste, are offered. On Saturday mornings, it's time for brunch where different influences are once again mixed: Colombian empanadas, vegetable acras, feijoada, dahl, scrambled eggs and bacon...

Pile ou Face opened its doors in January 2024. Around 200 board games are on offer, for all ages and for children aged 2 and over: cooperative games, atmospheric games, investigative games, as well as classics such as Scrabble and card games. There's also a store where you can buy the games you've discovered on site. Pile ou Face also has a bar serving coffee, beer, wine and spirits. For a snack, you can opt for cakes, homemade spreads and charcuterie and cheese boards.

As its name indicates, l'Antre de Dionysos is specialized in wine. Lilian Martin's establishment has on one side a bar where it is possible to settle down to taste different appellations. About thirty are proposed by the glass. The cellar side offers more than 500 bottles and accessories, as well as about thirty rums, selected and presented by Lilian Martin, sommelier. If the generous board of local products is not enough, order a meal. Enjoy the food prepared in the second part of Lilian's establishment, the restaurant.

This wine and cocktail bar promises to be a great place to have a good time. Founded and run by 5 friends, the Kiosque offers a convivial space with a successful decor, a friendly, pleasant atmosphere and a varied clientele... Behind the counter, the mixologist handles the shaker, the slate announces the dishes to be shared, and the music is just right. The wine and cocktail list is explained in detail. A farandole of flavors on the plate. A powerful Saint-Joseph by the glass goes well with braised pork, alcohol-free Whitehaven with deconstructed pavlova... A perfect match!

The Bureau, you will go back to it, and above all, beyond working hours! In a Square of Silk that continues to evolve, the Bureau holds a separate place. To get there, there is no question, because the office takes advantage of the large free parking in the shopping centre and stays open every day of the year (except 2 days…). For the rest, this office has little to do with others (offices…), since everything is implemented at every moment to ensure our happiness. Start with the atmosphere in a restaurant held by a motorcycle enthusiast (rallies take place regularly), which will bring the atmosphere up throughout the day. Finally, it's an organ of electric guitar, with the many concerts organized all year long, especially with Ralph Hartmann. A friendly atmosphere that spreads in a warm, air-conditioned room where everyone naturally finds their place around a large table or a more intimate table. Another pleasure of the place, the terrace open on the racecourse is the race at the top of our list of the most beautiful terraces. And the kitchen? It is nothing to say that Christophe Félix is demanding the quality of products served on fine plates, starting with excellent meats, good breads for home burgers, a royal Welsh, fish & chips, curry gambas or a well-composed board. A baker/baker is now on site to make homemade desserts and breads. Beautiful beer card to accompany everything, with Leffe as a lighthouse. At the Office, address to consume without moderation.

The Mylo patisserie-café's offering is growing all the time. Élodie and her team of pastry chefs and chocolatiers offer a tea room service all day long, and a snack bar at lunchtime with a wide choice of "lomy". Vegan, salmon, beef: there's something for everyone. Other hot dishes and salads whet the appetite. A catering service is also available, ideal for cocktails. The icing on the cake? Personalized pastries and chocolates, for birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events and more.

This friendly games bar is ideal for sharing a moment with friends or family. Game lovers can enjoy a game of pétanque on the indoor pitch, or darts and Beer Pong. When the weather's fine, the terrace is the perfect place to enjoy a drink and a platter of cold meats or cheese. For gamers, a dozen pre-recorded tablet games are available. In winter, enjoy broadcasts of major soccer, rugby, tennis and NBA matches!
