👍 Staff is super friendly! The only down side is that locals or regulars do not seem to like tourists there. While the scene at the place is really good the crowd was rather rude. People often mention friendly, people,

    We were addressed like non welcome clients. One of the employees even dared to ask, "What are you doing here?" I guess they just like to cater to locals.

    I write this review in english to warn all visitors not to come to this bar. My husband is french who is a social butterfly. He likes to go around and mingle with people. The servers were excellent. The manager Stef said to my husband he saw everything, he knew everything. Basically, he could judge people just by seeing my husband being sociable. The security asked us for a cigarette, we gladly offered him one. We started chatting and Stef came to listen to our conversation with an angry face. Then we asked him why he judged us. He couldn’t explain. He said we could leave if we wanted. So if we left. We ordered 4 drinks and drank only 2. Never ever come back to this bar. There are better ones in Lyon

    This bar is actually super small, but it gets super busy! Haha! With more people outside on the street in front of it than inside of it! 🤣. Happy to see it survived the pandemic, it looks exactly the same as it did 4 years ago when I first visited it.

    Busy spot for older gay men. Felt a bit out of place being younger. Great atmosphere and friendly staff

    There is a local/regional feeling to this bar and that's unique. It can get quite crowded but staff are attentive, kind and welcoming.

    My favourite bar in Lyon, people are so friendly, and the drinks aren't expensive exemple a glace of whisky/coke ( 2/3 of whisky 1/3 coke).

    Imagine no menu of drinks and a person Who ask you in your first step inside the place what you wanna drink, no smile, just a inquisition. Music poor, structure less is less, bar men something. Run!!!!

👍 Nice experience in this new restaurant. Gentle staff, there is a nice feeling. I recommend the salads which are super tasty and creative. Could not experience the fresh juice as the restaurant seems to have some teething problems but I will come back in a few weeks to try more.
