The best bars and cafés Lyon 1st 69001

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
