A rooftop at sunset, sharing tapas and several spaces to move between make it easy for the evening to unfold without staying fixed at one table.

Pinball machines, arcade cabinets, VHS tapes and a 1990s teenager’s bedroom: Memory Club is preparing a Villeurbanne bar where nostalgia is mainly an excuse to play together, not stay behind a screen.

Two hundred board games, riddles hidden inside the picture frames on the walls, and evenings you sign up for on the spot. Which means you can arrive alone and end up on a team.

An independent cultural bar on the slopes of the Croix-Rousse, opened in 2024 by Chloé and Alexandre as "an extension of their living room." Vintage sofas, a stage in the middle of the room, concerts, DJ sets, cabarets and pop-up shows.

A soul and vintage cocktail bar on rue de la Martinière. Open until 4am, no reservations. What happens at the counter is like nothing else.

A café tucked into the private courtyard of the Musée Lumière, with a guinguette-style decor, shade, quiet and plenty of charm. The secret spot we love, far from the crowded Presqu'île terraces.

Fluorescent paint, black light, music, complete darkness. Ninety minutes where no one really knows what they're doing, no one cares, and that's exactly why it works.
