Fun and entertainment Lyon 1st 69001

For a pleasant stopover, while visiting the Croix-rousse market, this space with blue tones gives us a soothing truce, the time of an aperitif or a rich lunch, in the largest tradition of French breweries. Let's go through the gentle sun rays, we can also take advantage of the terrace to sip a drink before returning.

Among other things, this coffee is a soup bar, a literary café, a cultural café, a theatre café, a citizen café, a spiritual café, a café, a café where you are yourself, different… A coffee that you just love. At the foot of the Slopes, the Lair Other is a polyphonic coffee that can give voice to make its difference heard. From the voice and words you can read on all the walls of the establishment while you eat a warm and balanced kitchen, made home, with a desert base or tapas in the evening. But what makes the soul of the scene is the readings, concerts and expos that take place all year round. Improvisations, acoustic concert, sacred songs, paintings and always hanging stage open to everyone. Always nice meetings to make around Maguelone and surprises every time. A coffee where you can get lost to find yourself.

Because music bars don't run through the streets of Lyon, let's turn the spotlight on La Grooverie. After climbing a few steps from Place Sathonay, you'll find this late-night bar for lovers of groove and jam sessions. The principle is simple: a fine list of spirits, including rum-based cocktails, and a stage to play good music with a live program featuring soul, swing (gypsy among others)... A swinging, groovy program to keep an eye on. Thursday: stand-up aperitif from 6pm before a jam session. A high level of conviviality for laughter, movement and a drink in good company.

Théâtre Carré 30 is a small theater in the heart of Lyon. Since its creation five years ago, it has welcomed Lyon-based and emerging companies, offering a first opportunity for young artists to present their work to the public. The theater's programming is diverse, ranging from contemporary theater and improvisation to concerts and shows for young audiences. With only 30 tiered seats, intimacy is guaranteed and allows impressive proximity to the actors. Audiences often have the opportunity to meet the actors and share their impressions over a complimentary post-show drink. The theater also offers escape games on Heritage Days. To support this artistic initiative, the theater is looking for volunteers for the coming season.

KoToPo is an international cultural space. It is a cultural association offering a wide range of activities and events. KoToPo has several spaces, including a large meeting room with a mezzanine, a bar-café-snack bar, a multilingual library, music from other parts of the world, world games and language courses. KoToPo is run by the "Mille et une langues" association, which aims to promote the diversity of the world's languages and cultures. Volunteers are welcome to take part in the activities and contribute to the development of the place.

Butch bear bar, bears of bears and those who love them. Place reserved exclusively for men on 200 m 2 under the vaults, with a terrace in the beautiful days. Three spaces, part of Saturday evening, lounge area with pinball, air conditioning. The third Saturday of the month, bear & Butch evening. Regular evenings.

A place dedicated to mixology that "mixes" itself, as it is, on two levels, a bar, a club and a music scene all in one. It's a groovy, creative place, with formats that move to suit our desire to taste everything. Not least on the menu of original house cocktails prepared before your very eyes by the bartenders. Fun cocktails - Groom libre, Pinky gin, House Paloma... -fun cocktails, fun mocktails, a menu of craft beers of the moment, wine by the glass, champagnes and spirits to mix and match. On the summer terrace or in a colorfully decorated room, snacking - planks, empanadas... - to make the evening last into the middle of the night. Privatization possible.

Looking for a festive change of scene? Head to the Cabana Café, a cozy spot in Lyon. From 6.30pm, come and share a drink and enjoy tapas with South American flavours, such as nachos, empanadas or alitas de pollo caramelisados. On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, enjoy entertainment and free Latin dance classes. From 10 p.m., the DJ sets the mood on the dance floor for an evening of Latin rhythms: salsa, bachata, reggaeton... The Cabana Café is also perfect for organizing your events in an exotic atmosphere.

A Super 5 that runs on electro to transport our Lyon parties. A hybrid venue, as they say today. Just a stone's throw from Place Sathonay, an unconventional bar-club that can be modulated, transformed (and even privatized) according to your desires. What's certain is that you'll be able to listen to great music - in almost any genre, depending on the band of the moment, with a preference for electro - in a cool, friendly club atmosphere. DJ sets, blind tests, a selection of beers, a fine cocktail menu and platters of local produce to keep you from drinking and tapping your foot on an empty stomach. A place to meet and share, the Super 5 is the place to be.

Life's too short not to enjoy a cocktail with friends at Le Petit Bleu. Warm stone walls, seats as blue as an azure sky, the smile and good humor of an entire team, starting with Stéphane, and long opening hours that extend into the evening... What more could you ask for? A few platters to share, including a famous homemade truffle croque, a charcuterie plate or a more surprising Asian plate... Everything we love, and everyone we love, is already here at Le Petit Bleu. Right next to a fresco dedicated to libraries, an open book on the city where life is good.

At the end of a Lyonnais passageway, nestled in a secret passageway, it's a veritable little boudoir that plunges us into another era, another atmosphere. Discover Le Passage as you make your way to a timeless address where it's so good to settle into a super-comfortable sofa. With its jazzy soundtrack, velvet seats, inlaid woodwork and hushed ambience, this is the ideal bar for a romantic tête-à-tête to show off your good taste and knowledge of hidden addresses. An excellent cocktail menu, from classic to iconic, with an impressive choice of top-quality spirits. Food and beverages in keeping with the setting.

Without a doubt the reference in Lyon in the hectic world of the classic (but not so classic) cocktail bar. Created in 2010 in the heart of Lyon, in a small street a few steps away from the Terreaux, L'Antiquaire gives off a tasty mix of refined chic, vintage atmosphere and tasteful modernity in a room as beautiful as the waiters are professional and attentive. Every evening, under the subdued lights, we come to discover a magnificent counter, a warm setting, a quiet music, but also a penguin (yes!). Beautiful casual elegance of the whole, classy and smiling service for tasty cocktails, like the Bacardi Fizz. Not to be missed.

La Maison M is an exception in this category. Not declaring itself exclusively as a nightclub, but rather as a convivial and festive bar, the address has remained open, offering Apéro'jeux, karaoke, blind tests or participative playlists where everyone has fun taking the place of the DJ. A hybrid venue with a superb terrace behind the Halle de la Martinière, this little paradise comes at a price, but it's a great place to listen to good music in a crazy setting. When things get better: real DJs, live concerts and delicious cocktails.

To stroll through Les Pentes and find yourself in Stockholm sounds improbable, but it's not! Not quite a novelty, since the address has already blown out its first candle, but a new destination for Le Futé, which is delighted to share this gourmet discovery. While this Kafe offers a terrace and a room for "fika", a moment of disconnection over a coffee for Swedish-style well-being, the sweetness is also shared in gourmet form throughout the day. From homemade granola for breakfast to smörgås for lunch and traditional cinnamon buns, it's a real treat. Mamma mia (do you have the ref?), we loved it.

Before coming back to this particular address, let's mention that 405 is three beer bars and a store. The 405 on Constantine street is one of the bars offering the widest choice of draught beers in France with no less than 30 different draughts. Beers that change regularly and take us to all countries in a friendly and sporty atmosphere. The 405 Bis pub offers bottled beers, whiskies, cocktails and shooters. Homemade dishes. Choice, conviviality and air-conditioned rooms to drink in the cool.

Le Pélican is a bird, a beer, a cocktail and in Lyon an excellent cocktail bar. Aymeric Tortereau - winner of some fine cocktail trophies - makes the good classics and creates new compositions in the Pelican's beak, which houses nearly 350 bottles, some of them exceptional. Warm decor, but it doesn't steal the show from the stars: the cocktails. Before preparing your cocktail, the barman chats with you to get to know you better and suggest personalized "variations". "Signature" with the Gold Snapper. Originality with the cocktails and bottles to take away to drink with friends at home.
