Ninkasi - Lyon

We were searching for a place for an "entré" and tapas so we found this place near the vieux lyon.we tool fries and a assortiment of tapas (falafel, chiken, oignon rings..)...and the wholz thing was awefull:falafel cold on the insidefries extra oilysame for the other tapasnot recommanded at all!

From the outside and the decor this seemed like any other trendy bar, which it is, however, they have great craft beers, knowledgable and friendly staff and good pub grub. Also do a free taster of 3 of their beers, was rather nice too.

Seated at a slab counter at the window with little patience to wait - I was pleased with responsive and cheerful service, but this location was packed to capacity and extremely noisy that Saturday night. My smaller than expected burger was dwarfed by the bun. Choices of beer were plentiful - meeting my expectations as it is the same Ninkasi brewer based in Oregon, USA.

We were the only patrons that Sunday noon so the service was fast if slightly disinterested. For a bar to not have red wine however, was a bit disappointing to say the least. The food was OK, expensive for what it was though (smoked salmon salad - 95% leaves).

A doldrums of a place. Zero atmosphere. A negative integer of service. This is where lost souls find no solace. As bad as it gets.
