Nightlife in Lyon Vieux-Lyon and Presqu'ile

Lyon bouchon late Beaujolais service ★ 4.7

Lyon Vieux-Lyon and Presqu'ile

Lyon bouchon late service, the traditional working-restaurant Beaujolais experience in the city that invented the pot lyonnais and the culture of drinking Gamay at midnight.

The list: The Lyon bouchons, the city's traditional working restaurants, serve Beaujolais late into the night from the pot lyonnais, the 46 cl bottle that has been the vehicle for Gamay in Lyon for three centuries; late sittings go until midnight on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday

Tip: A late bouchon sitting on the Thursday of Nouveau release is the most authentic Lyon wine experience of the year; the bouchon tradition serves Beaujolais from pots, not glasses, so order for the table.
