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.

La Grange au Bouc is counted as one of the top party venues in the old city. Those velvety lounge-style seating booths and dazzling neons create a spectacular setting to bid the day goodbye in style. Grange's Djs spin up peppy rock, retro, dance and electronic numbers. Fortnightly theme nights are a rage here, even as its eclectic music calendar draws in crowds from far and wide.

This is a barge which, at different times, serves as a café-theatre, and turns its English pub into an intimate and warm venue for intelligent, spicy humor. The program is varied and embraces all kinds of comedy, which is quite rare in Lyon. It is generally popular with higher income people from ages 30 to 40. Live DJs rumble weekly with disco, jazz, jungle and salsa tunes and the upper terrace is open for star gazing.
