Villeurbanne's beloved brewpub — craft beer without the attitude
If you're tired of the same old industrial lagers and want to drink something with a story, Brasserie de l'Amour is your spot. Tucked away on Rue Magenta in Villeurbanne, this microbrasserie brews its own beers right on the premises — eight on tap, with a menu that changes regularly so there's always something new to try. The Double Dragon gets mentioned a lot, and for good reason. The philosophy here is simple: "l'amour des bonnes choses," and you feel it the moment you walk in.
The food side is deliberately unfussy — think planches and tartines to share, perfect for soaking up a few pints. It's not a dinner destination, but it doesn't pretend to be. What it is, is one of the best after-work beer spots in the area, with happy hours from 17h to 20h that make it easy to settle in. They also run themed evenings, which keeps the regular crowd coming back.
The atmosphere is what seals it — a genuine neighbourhood bar without any of the pretension you might expect from a craft beer place. At 4.8 stars across nearly 250 reviews, the locals have spoken. Go with a couple of friends, order a flight, grab a planche, and let the evening take you where it wants.
