Nice bars for a drink near Bellecour
Modulo, the barge that floats on the Rhône
Here, everything moves softly, the barge, the reflections of the Rhône, conversations in low voices. Modulo is the perfect address for a peaceful aperitif on the water, with a good glass of wine and a board to share.
We like the fact that it’s “far from it all” even though it’s right in the center of town, with its smiling staff and unforgettable sunsets.
Budget: €10 to €25
Atmosphere: relaxed, bohemian
Muraato: the confidential wine bar
A well-kept neighborhood secret. At Muraato, you come for the wine, but you stay for the conversation. The team knows its producers, its grape varieties and its favorites.
There’s no lengthy wine list here: each bottle tells its own story, and the plates are meticulously crafted. You can toast with friends or as a couple, in a chic but no-frills cellar-dining atmosphere.
Budget: Between €9 and €23
Atmosphere: Intimate, friendly
Le Passage the hidden bar that doesn’t say its name
We love Le Passage for its confidential atmosphere – enter discreetly, settle into an armchair, and let the mixologists guide you.
The decor has all the makings of a 50s spy movie, and the cocktails are carefully crafted, sometimes surprising, always elegant. Perfect for a secret rendezvous a stone’s throw from Bellecour.
Budget: Between €10 and €14/glass.
Atmosphere: hushed, vintage, mysterious
L’Antiquaire: the art of vintage cocktails
This speakeasy-style bar takes you back to another era. Leather banquettes, golden lighting, discreet jazz… and some of the best cocktails in town.
The team masters the art of the shaker and storytelling: each drink is a journey.
A place to discover, to tell, to keep a little to yourself.
Budget: Between €10 & €18
Atmosphere: retro, subdued, elegant
We love these addresses because they’re so much like our own Lyon:
warm, lively, a little secretive, but always full of taste.
