Fun and entertainment Lyon 1st 69001

A bold and imaginative opera. If, like many of us, you think that opera is not for you, think again and be astonished by the creations offered by an opera house that opens its doors and breaks the codes, having successfully renovated itself 30 years ago thanks to the architect Jean Nouvel. The Opéra de Lyon offers unique experiences, including the Opéra Underground program, which you can discover on the website. Lyrical and choreographic performances, concerts, world music, contemporary dance, screenings... in a wide variety of repertoires to broaden our horizons. Exciting seasons.

Le Nombril du Monde is a little more than a simple theater-café: a living stage where talents can be born and blossom since more than 30 years. This is how the Nombril du Monde saw the birth of a certain Florence Foresti on stage... This café-theatre has a resident troupe of professional comedians, about fifteen, who play all the roles, from bar service to the stage. Two rooms (air-conditioned) to laugh all year long. The Nombril du Monde organizes comedy workshops. A short visit to the BistrO d'A Côté to chat with the comedians.

In a forest of 3 300 m 2, come and discover the joy of the ball. With family or friends, you are sure to spend a moment in a delirious atmosphere.

To make her happy, fulfilled, full of love and beautiful things, put some Broc Bar in your life. Le Broc, the brainchild of Stéphane, who knows all of Lyon - and all of Paris, but that's another story - is the place to be at any time of day - and evening, but that's another story - to meet beautiful people. An inclusive bar run by a cheerful team who serve you like the celebrity you are. A bar where you can come, my darling, with your sandwich from the patisserie next door to enjoy a drink on the terrace. Coffee-croissant in the morning, a board of good produce at lunchtime and a festive aperitif in the evening. Love Broc.

In this refined interior, a grocery oskar oskar of jazzy music, coffee is king. Whether it's Ethiopian, Colombian or house, the water used is filtered with a softener so that it doesn't alter subtle aromas. Cocktails based on coffee, milk or chocolate will be offered. But tea lovers will not be disappointed because you are not proposing less than 100 different kinds. Tea is served in an original and unusual way: on one side, a beautiful steaming teapot, and on the other, a large transparent glass and a tea flower. The latter is dragged into the glass containing the hot water, and after infusion, it opens itself into corolla to allow a delicate scent to be spread. All these delights can be consumed in the living room on the floor, very cosy and can also be bought to has in beautiful places on your shelves.

Méliné and Damien, two enthusiasts of natural wines and good food, have set up shop near Place Carnot to open a new concept in Lyon: a wine bar specializing in natural and biodynamic wines from around the world, to be tasted with made-to-measure boards. At Chenin N20, it's up to you to compose your own plank, according to your desires and budget, selecting from among the best artisanal, local or regional products.

The times are already scary and you want to add to it? If the answer is yes, go to the escape game that really scares. If you want to test your horror skills, welcome to Dark Experience. Two rooms and two stories worthy of a Stephen King novel with Amy, the horror version that will make you jump, and The Creature, the survival version in a world of darkness. All this is strongly advised against sensitive people, because you will become the "hero" of a real horror movie...

At the quiet corner of the Griffon Street and the Rosemary street, this tea salon offers more than a hundred different types of teas, but also Colombian, Ethiopian or House coffee, sugar flavoured with violet jams or cranberry… Certainly what to do the happiness of all lovers of fine snacks in this tea and coffee lounge near the Opera. You can even enjoy breakfast at eight o'clock in the morning. In this chic interior with jazzy music, the café is king. The water is filtered with a softener so that it does not alter its perfume.

An address where each one finds cup to its measure.

In the heart of the Pentes, Le Bec de Jazz seems out of time with its Bird style club atmosphere. The walls are covered with the gigantic paintings of the owner. Tchangodei sometimes lets his fingers run over the piano to treat the regulars to his compositions. Unjustly unknown jazzman, this Beninese by origin and Lyonnais by adoption, has participated in about twenty albums. In his establishment, of which you have to become a symbolically contributing member, the hours don't count and you come out in the early morning, drunk with music and fresh (or almost) as a rose.

For the past seventeen years, they've been breaking our ears in a good way with good sound! A Lyon institution for lovers of rock in the broadest sense of the term (punk, indie, garage, post-punk, stoner, etc.), with an average of three concerts a week. The terrace is a godsend on long summer evenings, and the vaulted cellar room could tell a tale of its own. In short, the Trokson is a rock bar where you can meet unexpected people.

The address that cheers us up, even on a rainy November day! An authentic melted chocolate bar that's a real treat, even in summer when we're invited to dip our iced eskimo in one of Valrhona's signature melted chocolates. A choice of great chocolate vintages for dipping with your seasonal fruits. Chocolate that can also cover waffles, crêpes, cheesecake... And don't forget topping with an extra layer of deliciousness! Hot chocolate in winter, milkshakes and Patrick Font fruit juices to accompany the chocolate delights. Brunch menu available daily between 11:30am and 2:30pm. Go for it!

When was the last time you laughed at a show? Head for the Complexe, where you'll be looked after by a smiling team. Here, the show begins before the show, with a glass of sangria and a few tapas. You can eat, drink, chat and even fizz while waiting for the show to start, whether you're in the upstairs or downstairs room. Excellent programming with a strong comedic bent, to be followed on the Complexe website. Just one word of advice: make sure you book in advance, especially on weekends, as the Lyonnais really appreciate this venue. Every Saturday evening, stand-up at the Complexe Comedy Club.

Place Sathonay is one of our favourite spots to take a cool break in summer. An air of Provence blows under the big trees and the sheltered terrace of this tea room/glacier/pastry shop makes us enjoy it with discretion and greediness. On the tip of your tongue, it's an address to share to enjoy homemade products: ice creams and sorbets inspired by flavours from here and elsewhere, with creations that never fail to amaze us. Crazy ice cream sundaes. Other pleasures to savour, pastries and other bugnes in season, always made on site. Snack break, crêpes, pancakes and brunch in the same spirit of freshness and quality.

The end of the day will be more enjoyable if you spend it at the Monkey Club. Destination cocktails and good humor near the town hall, the perfect address to take your mind off things. A trip to the tropics with a small terrace, a rarity in Lyon's cocktail bar scene. Depending on your tastes and mood, the expert bartenders suggest prescriptions that vary according to the season, from Red Hot Chili Pepper, with a nice twist on Bloody Mary, to fruity Bissap Asap, not forgetting a good choice of gin and tonics, specialties of the house. Warm, hushed ambience under the vaulted ceiling, smiling service at the bar or in comfortable club armchairs from an adorable team. A few nibbles.

Soda, the first bar that made us want to drink cocktails before anyone else. At La Martinière, Soda features a team of bartenders who know how to mix! A chic, glamorous atmosphere, not only for a drink, but also for listening to the excellent musical program. Let's take a look at the cocktail menu and order, according to your mood (the menu changes frequently), with classic house twists such as a dangerous Zombie (2 glasses maximum), a Supanova version of the mojito or a fruity Soul Sista. New this year, you can drop by the bar on Tuesdays to create your very own cocktail (with the help of the team). The benchmark.

A Phantom who appears every evening in the long Rue Royale to invite us to follow him into his cosy den or onto the small summer terrace. For more than 10 years now, the Fantôme has been expressing its imagination in this lively place where you can meet new people. Life, love, sharing, to tip over to the cocktail side of the force on a soundtrack that reflects the image of the place: liberated. All the art of mixology is expressed in original creations made from drinks and ingredients selected with particular care to satisfy our curiosity and pleasure. Tasting plates to extend the evening in the ghost's sheets.

According to our French taste, Starbucks does not always offer the "best coffee in the world" and we will stubbornly continue to defend the "Café Comptoir", the "little black" in the morning with the unequalled taste when shared with friends. Because can we really share in Wi-Fi mode behind your laptop, even on a comfortable seat? It's up to you. For the rest, it's possible to fall for the craft coffees that you can personalize by adding some "extras" which also incur some additional charges. Futé must admit a weak for the Macchiato Caramel for the long winter days. In summer, we are tempted by the Frappuccino collection with always the possibility to personalize our cold drink. The other reason for falling is the by-products, especially, the famous Lyonese tumbler.

Closed is an escape game that takes you to several rooms, also called rooms, to live life-size and immersive adventures. Several themes are proposed to the participants: "Escape if you can", where you will have to escape from a cell in order to prove your innocence, "Orion", a space adventure worthy of Star Wars, "The Missing", where you will have to find Mary in the house of a voodoo priestess, or "Dr. Kwan's Asylum", where you will have to escape from a disused psychiatric hospital located in North Korea

On the program: German humor (yes, there is such a thing), German tapas (always better than English ones) and German-loving cocktails. Without doubt the bar with the most offbeat ambience, which can bring tears of joy to our eyes with its communication and cocktails that don't get drunk anywhere else. It has to be said that the cheerful team - re-titled La Mannschaft - unearths ingredients that are as good as they are surprising. Guaranteed sausages, craft beers, a friendly atmosphere and optional Lederhosen. Ein Prosit! Drink up.

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.
