Bar de Bon-Secours
The Bar de Bon-Secours is a secret bar hidden away in the heart of the Vieux-Lyon district. To get in, you need the ‘password’ (it’s up to you to find it 🧐). I promise, even without the code, they’ll let you in 😉
Inside, the stone cellar is decorated in a very retro style, using the same codes as the old underground gambling bars that used to be found in Lyon. A real step back in time to the 1930s.
As for the cocktails: unique creations with highly refined cocktails and original flavours.
