About this place L Bar

L Bar is a queer‑run bar‑restaurant on Rue du Garet that serves cheap comfort food and pulls a mixed crowd. The spot sits at the edge of the Presqu’île, just a stone’s throw from the Opéra and Hôtel de Ville in Lyon’s 1st arrondissement. It’s owned by lesbian and trans partners, a rarity in a city where most gay venues cater to men. The menu is unapologetically simple: burgers, fries, milkshakes and a handful of cocktails that won’t break the bank. It’s the kind of grub you can eat while chatting with strangers or watching the street traffic drift by. L Bar’s clientele is as varied as the drinks list—queer patrons of all ages and identities mingle, which the Lyon tourist office now lists among its official LGBTQ+ spots. Open Monday to Saturday from 18:00 to 02:00, it’s closed on Sundays. With a 4.8 rating from over 4,000 reviews, the place fills up fast; get there early if you want a seat for a bite.
