Abstract Lab

It’s been almost a year since I started coming here regularly, and I just realized I still hadn’t left a review… even though this is, without a doubt, MY favorite bar in Lyon. 🥹🫶🏻

Everything is perfect: the atmosphere, the venue, the cocktails… but above all, the staff, who are absolutely lovely. You always feel incredibly welcome there, and it’s definitely one of those places you keep coming back to—as much for the drinks as for the people you meet there. A huge shout-out to Faustine Hortense and Alex 🫶🏻

As for the cocktails, they’re flawless: original, well-crafted, surprising, and above all, always delicious. But THE real highlight of the place is the spirits they create themselves: the Monochromes. Flavors that might seem completely unexpected on paper, but work incredibly well once they’re in the glass. 🤌🏻

In short, after almost a year of coming back again and again, I think the verdict is pretty clear: I love this place. ❤️

If you’re looking for an excellent cocktail bar in Lyon with a fantastic team: go for it. But please, leave my “regular” spot for me. 😂

Extremely refined cocktails, sophisticated decor with meticulous attention to detail, and attentive staff. A perfect evening. Thank you.

I love the vibe of this place. It’s like stepping into a Hopper painting mixed with the atmosphere of *Coffee Talk* (for the nerds out there). Familiar yet somehow timeless, intimate and full of warmth. There’s something here that really makes me feel good and always makes me want to stay longer than I planned. Thanks ;)

A friend recommended this place, and it’s truly exceptional!
The quality of the cocktails and the friendliness of the servers are top-notch—thank you so much!
P.S.: The grilled cheese was amazing!

Do not miss this place in Lyon! It’s really one of a kind. Best cocktails I had!

Abstract is a crazy place but in a good way. We came late on Saturday, the atmosphere was cool, open and friendly. Everyone seemed to have fun. We liked the creative drinks with the homemade spirits and the friendly service. The room has a cool design. We liked the place very much!

Although it's a bit off the beaten path from Lyon, this place is incredible.
The cocktails are surprisingly excellent, and I encourage any cocktail lover to go try their reimagined classics.

Went for their pop-up events with the culinary arts student of Institut Paul Bocuse, the food were great in value, the staff were also kind and helpful.

Original, convivial, excellent! The place is beautiful—very much like a Hopper painting— the cocktails are exceptional, and the welcome is warm. I can’t give it 6 stars, though—that’s a shame.
