    He definitely must have bought good reviews, because he was horrible to everybody. I thought human dignity would excuse me from facing such ruthless and disrespectful. The bar tender is really nice and unworthy of his boss. I have never been humiliated by someone in my life. Do be careful about the receipt and bill. The boss work day and night trying to add as much money to it compared to what you would have paid. I am talking double the food’s worth in the menu.

    A place for everyone to come and get an fun and delicious drink! As a tourist, I came to Lyon for a weekend trip and arrived late Friday night. We fell upon this place as it was nearby our hotel. From the outside the bar looked a bit dull, but as soon as we entered, the atmosphere was chill and relaxing and we felt very comfortable. For the first round of drinks we ordered some kinds of berry/vodka and lemon/meringue drinks. The first one wasn't really speciel, but the latter was a fun mixture of different kind of citruses and was served like a mini lemon pie. For the second round, we got chocolate/rum drink which was really special and delicious, and a 'neu' mojito with jägermeister which added a more german flavour to the classic mojito. The bar interieur had a German theme with many cuckoo clocks and the DJ started off with some house music, but later got more lazy with the mixing and the songs kept going on. 8/10

    Nice casual place, the cocktails were good. The smike Smash is sweet and tasty. Service was fast, and the servers were courteous. If you're an english speaker, they can understand you.

    They seemed very nice, but then in the end they took 15 minutes to bring the beers (3 bartenders, not so many customers) and mixed the order with another couple's (we said smth after tasting the beers and were reassured it's correct, but when we payed it got clear as there was additional food that we refused at the table and was got by another table). Sooo... we wouldn't be back 😔 also, huge bar but then there isn't much space for confortable seating

  • 5/5 Malo P. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place, with an amazing and friendly staff. The Black Forest is a must if you enjoy original drinks and a warm and jovial atmosphere. Their cocktail creations are well worth their prices, with new, intriguing and refreshing recipes that have earned the Black Forest a well-deserved city-wide reconnaissance. 10/10 easily.

    True mixology in all the sense of the word, an experience led by a master of the art. As put by the genius behind the drinks…judge by what’s inside the cup and how it makes you feel. Every sip has been an awakening on its own. Awaken your taste buds and awaken yourself to delicious cocktails that can only be experienced here. Live a little and remember forever!

    Was so in the moment that I completely forgot to take pictures. Had a wonderful time with good service and cocktails. We had the chef’s special gin based cocktail. Delicious. Would return!

  • 2/5 Patrick E. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried two cocktails - both were uninspired. The cocktail menu is repetitive and not diverse. They no longer have a happy hour. They were nice, though.

    I used to come here before but recently it's turned into a weird place ! It seems to me like there's something cult-like going on here. Regardless, it's expensive and the last two times I came out with bad experiences. Never coming here again !

👍 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.
