About this place La Madone

La Madone sits on Place des Capucins in the 1st arrondissement, close to the concentration of bars around Place des Terreaux. DJ sets, craft beers, Italian charcuterie and contemporary décor make it a step up from the average neighbourhood bistro. Listed in the official Lyon Tourist Office LGBTQ+ guide as a recommended address. A good choice for an early evening drink before moving into the core Presqu'île scene.

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!
