Le Trou

An early evening visit during Frances National Day. I warm welcome with an explanation that it was a naked Sunday. Interesting crowd ready for action, probably averaging in their 40s. Clean and well-maintained.

We went on a wednesday late afternoon. Not too busy yet but very nice (new) managent who are kind and chatty. Ok experience

Contrary to some reports, this place is not closed, I was there on 16 January 2018. I got charged 10 euros entry fee despite being told over the phone that it was 8 euros. Also, for a can of coke (no alcoholic drinks are served, not even beer) and a bottle of poppers, I was charged 20 euros. You pay on leaving. The barman initially said 10 euros and I put ten down on the counter which was quickly snatched by him as I turned to talk to someone behind me. Then he revised the bill to 20 euros, so I took out another 10 euros and gave it to him and he insisted I hadn't already given him 10 euros, so I was forced to give yet another 10 euros to avoid an argument. And the place was virtually empty and a bad odour everywhere. No way will I go back there when I'm next in Lyon in a few months. Tourists beware.
