The Hot Club is the temple of Jazz in Lyon, located in a vaulted cellar that will remind you of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris! All diverse styles of jazz are played here: New Orleans, modern, afro, latin and more. The programs are interesting and so is the crowd frequenting this cool place. A great line up of artists and a good selection of drinks makes this club one of the most popular nightspots in the city.

Le Sirius is a floating bar and concert venue facing the Quai Victor Augagneur on the left bank of the Rhône. An interesting invitation to step off solid land for the evening and dance the night away. The décor inside the boat uses wood and metal to subtly remind patrons of their nautical location, and the bar complements the theme: with most cocktails made with rum. A constant schedule of renowned DJ and live concerts, often free of charge, brings a diverse crowd on deck. Concerts usually begin at late in the evening and DJs begin mixing early at night.

The newer incarnation of what used to be Le Bistroy, a legendary Croix-Rousse bar, Les Valseuses is a little quieter despite its regular concert nights. Indeed, Les Valseuses hosts mainly acoustic, folk and chanson acts, surely due to the numerous noise complaints that drove Le Bistroy to its closing. It however remains a good address for anyone wishing to discover upcoming local and national artists while enjoying a few drinks in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The place serves beer, wine, liquors as well as non-alcoholic beverages. Les Valseuses is named after a famous french comedy movie and it surely shows in its choice of music and the vibe of the place!
