About this place Baston

Baston opened in 2019 in a former restaurant space in Vieux Lyon — Lyon's UNESCO-listed medieval quarter — and built a reputation as an arts-and-culture-led queer venue. The programme is consistently inventive: art exhibitions, drag shows, live music, queer bingo. Described on its opening as a "new queer temple" in the city's oldest neighbourhood. The setting (medieval stone, low ceilings, candles) makes it unlike any other LGBTQ+ venue in Lyon. Inclusive and arts-focused rather than cruisy.

[Venue closed] It is with sadness that we will no longer be welcomed in this place filled with incredible encounters. Regular drag shows, an amazing community... see you soon ;-;

A very surprising place upon entering. However, the entire team gave me a very warm welcome and took great care of their customers. I truly had a lovely evening; the atmosphere was great, and the clientele was very courteous – a refreshing change. I will definitely return. Thank you, and I look forward to trying your different cocktails.
