The best beer bars Rhônes-Alpes

Beer, which should always be consumed in moderation, is a drink for sharing, with a festive spirit. And Beer Square understands this. A concept from Lille that has been perfectly adapted to Grenoble, where entertainment and beer go hand in hand. As for the beers, 16 taps with 8 permanent beers (like Bellerose blonde from Brasserie des Sources or Punk IPA from Brewdog) and 8 ephemeral beers. And to make sure you don't drink on an empty stomach, there's finger food with chicken croquettes and home fries. Don't miss the "Tap Take Over" when a brewery takes control of the spouts. Comedy show, Latin dances, music, blind tests, karaoke... Beers and pleasures to discover.

A territory apart, an enclave of happy "terroirists" in Lyon. Le Bieristan. A republic on the border between a restaurant and a local bar, this warm, cooperative address on the Villeurbanne side (Gratte-Ciel metro station) is a great place to meet up - the premises are rather large - to share good cheer and good craft beers on the 15 draught beers. On the summer terrace, you'll find regional beers - 25 craft and organic breweries within a 200 km radius - and a selection of organic wines, as well as solid dishes made from local, raw, seasonal produce. Concerts, events, Bieristan remains our home for day and night.

Not to be missed for its originality and good spirit! An emblematic place where international youth meet in the late afternoon to enjoy a beer brewed on site with pure glacial water from the Alps and to savor burgers and other quality home-made Canadian and North American specialties. Run by Canadians who brew great beers on site, amidst pine vats, the MBC sets the pace. Weekend mornings, hearty brunches.

The success of the Beer Garden is such that it is often difficult to find a place on the weekends, but who cares, you can help yourself by holding your glass in your hand! Here, all the beers offered are 100% craft beers and local is privileged: IPA, fruit beers, sour beer... there is no lack of choice! And if you don't come especially for the beer, you'll definitely come back for the delicious home-made dishes. You can enjoy some of the bistro-style proposals, between carbonnade, burger or even magret, with French fries as a must!

Beer O'Clock, or BoC for those of you who know it well! After wine, it's time for beer, a divine beverage elevated to the status of a beverage to be enjoyed (always in moderation) in specialized bars. At this "Place to Beer", on the lively, gourmet side of the Faubourg, beer lovers are free to discover beers from here and elsewhere (prepaid cards required), thanks to the 12 taps lined up on a pretty wooden counter. There's nothing we like better than a draught beer served by passionate beer lovers. Beers from all over the world, from the most classic to the rarest craft beers, regularly changing with new flavors. Meet the brewers.

Before you pass on, let's have a good Mise en bière! The place to be for true beer lovers by Fleurs du Malt enthusiasts. More than just a stopover on the quayside of thirst, it's the best destination for a good night out. 20 regularly changing tastings (all tastings are mobile) and 150 bottles from around the world. Expert advice from beer experts who share their discoveries. Excellent rock metal sound... Tasting boards. Treat yourself to a night out with the Vikings (private room available). Best beer bar in Lyon.

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.

L'Arbre à Bières is much more than just a restaurant, it's a real bar dedicated to beer, and has become a must for night owls in search of a good froth and a tasty flammekueche. The selection of local craft beers is impressive, but enthusiasts can also indulge in beverages from faraway lands thanks to a quality selection. The atmosphere is always pleasant, and the team is always on hand to help. A special highlight is the wide range of draught beers on offer.

«At the beginning was beer»: the tone is given in the 7 ^th establishment of the open berthom in France - they are a fortnight - and present in Grenoble for over 10 years now, all in a deciduous decoration adorned with logs and sown with high stools. The choice of 8 pressures on the drum (the Pils, but also the Maredsous or the sweet Faro) extends into bottles with a choice to turn the head for many reasons, abbeys (Orval, Saint Bernardus or Chimay), gueups and lambs to cassis or raspberry, not to mention the famous Cuvée of Trolls, Carolus or Chouffe. All to try with moderation of course! The Duvel, unpasteurized and high fermentation, remains the must of this village with beers.

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.

This beautiful address will particularly seduce the amateurs of good foams, understand craft beers from here and elsewhere. In a modern setting, with its industrial style decoration and its rooftop terrace, one likes to meet around the selections of the bar. If you feel a little hungry, you have the possibility to eat around proposals on boards to share. At the end of the week, the place comes alive in rock'n'roll mode, making the brick walls shake under the electric sounds of the guitars. An ideal setting to start the weekend.

Once a stop to the efforts coming from the lower valley of the River Arve and en route to Switzerland, the bar Le Brévent today welcomes another type of clientele, still exhausted and thirsting, but rather more exotic: the Anglo-Saxons! As often in Chamonix, the British clientele is a queen in this blend lieu, skilfully taken over by Gary, the boss, who fell in love with Mont Blanc massif like so many other friends of the Manche. And that is all the better: The bar Le Brévent is a special atmosphere, which is only too rarely found in Chamonix. As a district bar used by time and seasons but where the counter always open, the chimney fire always lit and the new regulars still filled somewhere succeeds in keeping the memory of the well-awake place. We feel well, around a pint of beer shared with the customers of Gîte Le Vagabond on the floor, or sitting in front of a tartiflette or a cheese crust. The clientele is cosmopolitan and warm and bright faces. As for prices, they are disconcerting disconcerting: 3 € the happy pint of beer! The bar has just won its new visitors.

For beer lovers in La Ravoire, LaBelle bière is the place to go. Whether you're looking for a convivial on-the-spot tasting or to stock up for events, LaBelle bière offers a selection of 300 exceptional beers from the four corners of the globe, waiting to be discovered. LaBelle bière's warm, friendly atmosphere and authentic setting make every evening spent there a quality experience. LaBelle bière is also LaBelle cantine, with its delicious home cooking.

There's always an air of hesitancy when it comes to inviting someone else to meet up at La LevRette. What we love about this cafe with its erotic-potty name is, first and foremost, its location in the former guardhouse of the Caserne de Bonne. It's a unique place, with a lovely terrace overlooking the esplanade, where you can enjoy shared moments of conviviality and home-brewed beers. Gourmet boards and homemade tapas to prolong the pleasure. Ideal for after-work and evening events - blind tests, karaoke, feria, product tastings...: fun spirit and surprises guaranteed - LevRette Café is a friendly destination to discover.

Since June 2023, Delirium Café has taken the place of the emblematic Café des Jardins, a historic establishment in the center of Saint-Etienne. Inside, pink elephants embellish the setting. The emblem of the Delirium brand of Belgian beer, produced by the Huyghe brewery, is also visible. Romain wanted to put Belgian beer in the spotlight, so he offers some twenty drafts from the Belgian brewery, fourteen of which have never been tasted in Saint-Etienne. You can also relax on the pleasant terrace. And to accompany your drink, bruschettas and tapas are on offer!

As Magritte pointed out, this is not a beer (and neither is a bear...). But at Not a Beer, you can drink as much as you like! A fine address in the lively heart of Grenoble, it's both a late-hours boutique and a beer bar for zythologists and amateurs in search of fine discoveries. A hundred or so beers in the cellar, a dozen on draught, are regularly rotated to give us a taste of flavors from near and far. Beers kept in cute little fridges or in a growler, a device that lets you fill your bottle with a draught beer to take home. Not a beer, warmth, flavors and trendiness, even on Sunday nights.

Life putting you under pressure? Come and decompress with a good draught! Au Fût et à mesure is a brewery where everything is connected. Here, you serve yourself by passing your card in front of one of the pumps set up at your table. The beers change regularly, and everyone helps themselves to what they want, whether or not they're sharing with friends. Because the other pleasure of going to Le Fût is making friends in a convivial atmosphere. Yes, the concept of going from table to table encourages people to meet. Planks of charcuterie and cheese prolong the pleasure of being in the Fût. Good music, game broadcasts, lively evenings. Good bubbles.

An original concept, a bar-disquaire, a cultural venue where you can savour good local produce while listening to good music over a wide range of opening hours. A convivial place where you can come in search of a vinyl, meet new people, share a drink at the bar - with its fine selection of craft beers, whiskies, gins, rums and arranged rums - and attend a concert, jam session or other event on weekends. Depot-sale section for local artists who want to make a name for themselves. Cymbaline, the bar we love.

A cozy place with an industrial decor, ideal for a beer and a snack on weekday evenings. Le Bivouac Malté offers 8 draught beers and a cellar featuring a variety of Savoyard, French and European beers. Perfect for afterworks, with a wide choice of drinks and gourmet aperitif boards. At lunchtime, you can enjoy tasty dishes made with fresh, seasonal and local produce! A changing menu and homemade cuisine. A fine address already well known to valley residents. Conviviality and simplicity.

In this Ptit Labo-là, chemistry becomes alchemy to transform organic raw materials into beers, each more tasty than the next. In a Saint-Bruno district in full effervescence, a place - created as a Scop - dedicated to beer. The decor mixes styles - from vintage to indus - in a very personal and finally very warm way, just like the welcome. Homemade beers made from good products by authentic passionate associates. Consumption on the spot, in room or in terrace, with good small dishes to be nibbled, to be taken away in returnable bottles or in barrels with loan of filler. Concerts and exhibitions.
