La Ruche

La Ruche is widely regarded as Lyon's oldest gay bar, a fixture of the Presqu'ile scene for more than two decades. Tucked on rue Gentil just steps from Place des Jacobins, it draws a friendly, mixed-age crowd for aperitifs and late-night drinks in a warm, unpretentious room lined with quirky decor. Regulars value it as the reliable starting point for a night out around the Terreaux bars.
