4 listening bars in Beaujolais, editor-picked by Cork & Curve. All Beaujolais nightlife.
Le Salon du Beaujolais ★ 4.3
Lyon 1er · Lyon, 69001, France
Lyon bar combining a curated vinyl record selection with a Beaujolais Cru and natural-wine glass list, popular with the city's younger wine-literate audience.
Tip: The Salon du Beaujolais format, vinyl plus natural Gamay, is representative of how Lyon's younger bar scene has adopted the Cru Beaujolais renaissance as its house style.
Les Ateliers du Vin ★ 4.4
Lyon Presqu'ile · Lyon Presqu'ile, 69002, France
A Presqu'ile natural-wine bar pouring Cru Beaujolais and Rhone grower wines in an intimate vinyl-and-candlelight atmosphere.
Tip: The Presqu'ile natural-wine bar scene is the urban complement to the Beaujolais countryside; several bars here pour the same Lapierre and Foillard Morgon that fills the Villié-Morgon domaine lists.
La Cave des Vignerons ★ 4.0
Villefranche-sur-Saone · Villefranche-sur-Saone, 69400, France
A Villefranche-sur-Saone wine bar with background music and a grower-Beaujolais list, popular with local vignerons on market days.
Tip: Wednesday and Saturday market mornings in Villefranche bring growers into town; the afternoon and evening that follow are the liveliest times at the town's wine bars.
Le Verre a Pied (Vieux-Lyon) ★ 4.3
Lyon Vieux-Lyon · Vieux-Lyon, 69005, France
A Vieux-Lyon wine bar serving Cru Beaujolais and Rhone natural wines by the glass in a candlelit standing-room format until late.
Tip: Vieux-Lyon's cobbled streets are at their most atmospheric after 22:00; the wine bar circuit in the Saint-Jean quarter is where Lyon's natural-wine audience gathers late.
