The best beer bars Lyon 3rd 69003

The Star Ferry, a tribute to a ferry sailing on the side of Hong Kong. On Quais du Rhône, the Star Ferry is typically a seasonal address, opening with the sun, closing with the first cold and big storms in summer. From the very first sunny days, beer flows like water in what it's agreed to call a beer garden, with a choice of 80 bottled beers and no less than 12 draught ones! A mandatory terrace to sit and enjoy the homemade specialty, burgers. Sandwiches that are themed, even exotic, composed of honourable ingredients, but with meat always overcooked to our taste. Although the fries are crispy to eat, chewing the burger can be complicated. Come on, take a beer to get it through… No desserts, except ice-creams. At the end of the day, the burger/beer comes back at about twenty euros, for a hardly adequate quality and a service that is extended (it's not easy to satisfy the desires of the entire terrace on a summer evening) but remains smiling. A half-tone address that allows you to spend pleasant moments on the banks of the Rhône.

Hopper rhymes with beer. And that's just as well, because this handsome bar at the Saxe-Gambetta crossroads, conveniently located just off the metro, has all the hallmarks of a brewery and pub, with its decor of copper pipes, vats and graffiti. It's a cosy place to enjoy one of the 18 draught beers or the 20 or so bottled beers that take you on a journey around the globe. Home-made smoothies and pressed juices to quench your thirst without alcohol. Don't drink on an empty stomach: pizzas, salads, burgers, croque-monsieur with truffled ham, seasonal platters and daily specials. An urban refuge where you can recharge your batteries.
