Péniche Le Sirius, Lyon

Barge Le Sirius (Péniche Le Sirius), established in 2002, is a unique and vibrant Pub Café Concert located in Lyon. This establishment is not just any ordinary venue; it's a boat, anchored on the Quai Augagneur, aptly named after the bright star, Sirius. Le Sirius distinguishes itself by being a hub of musical diversity and a haven for special beer enthusiasts.

The setting of Le Sirius is nothing short of enchanting. It offers a picturesque experience with its two rooms, a terrace, and a well-fitted front deck, providing a compelling invitation to travel. The interior is tastefully decorated with wood and metal, predominantly featuring black hues. A unique aspect of its decor is the use of hollowed-out cans as tables, enhancing the quirky and relaxed ambiance of the venue.

Since its opening, Le Sirius has been a hotspot for a variety of musical events. It hosts concerts, DJ nights, and themed evenings, focusing on varied and contemporary music styles, notably excluding techno and dance genres. The clientele is typically mature, drawn by the eclectic music and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Importantly, the venue prides itself on being inclusive, with no strict selection criteria at the entry.

The experience at Le Sirius is likened to a serene evening by the Rhone river, where patrons can enjoy a sunset with a glass of fine French wine or a large beer in the company of friends or a loved one. Its location along the waterfront, which is dotted with numerous boats serving as cocktail bars and aperitif spots, makes Le Sirius stand out. The boat's pirate-like appearance and the characteristic ambiance are unmistakable.
