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.

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.
