The best cocktail bars 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.

Lots of good times to share at the Mumbaï Café. Let's start with the restaurant, the best alibi to drink a cocktail then, with the Thali, dishes to share on a round tray. It's good and veggie compatible. On the drink side, behind the counter one of the best bartenders in Lyon (and the world)! This Café offers a menu of original cocktails made with often exotic ingredients. Amazing menu of Japanese whiskys, sake and wines. The cocktails invite you to intoxicating journeys. An address to escape.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
