About this place La Madone

La Madone is a mainstream bar on Place des Capucins in the 1st arrondissement. It’s gay-friendly, but don’t mistake it for a gay bar. The room is contemporary, serving craft beer and Italian charcuterie. Some evenings have DJ sets. Prices are low for the area, which helps explain the 4.5 Google rating from around 290 reviews. The slopes between Place des Terreaux and the Croix-Rousse hold a lot of Lyon’s bars, including several gay ones. La Madone works as a first drink before you move on. No hours are on file. Check its social pages before a late visit.

Great place and great service! We had few beers sitting outside on cinema chairs watching the street and people passing by… we ordered a planche and it was just fantastic!!!

I was taking a walk during my brief stay in Lyon and happened upon a chess event here at this lovely little bar. I was just in time to join on the app Chess Bar and had the loveliest of times. There was a DJ playing some really great relaxing mixes that stimulated my brain so that I won 3 out of 4 games ;-) - highly recommended and I will definitely return to Lyon and head straight for La Madone!
