Tucked away on Rue René Leynaud, Catie’s is your go-to for a relaxed evening in Lyon’s 1st arrondissement. This wine bar and tapas spot strikes the perfect balance between a neighborhood hangout and a place where you can actually enjoy a conversation. The happy hour deals are hard to beat—think €5 tapas and €4 glasses of wine—making it a favorite for after-work drinks or a casual pre-dinner stop.
Your Neighborhood Wine & Tapas Spot
Catie’s feels like a true neighborhood gem—unpretentious, warm, and consistently good without trying too hard. The happy hour is the real draw: €5 tapas and €4 glasses of wine make it an easy place to linger after work or before hitting a restaurant. The space itself is cozy, with just enough room to feel intimate but not cramped, and if you’re planning a private event, they’ve got a dancefloor and customizable music to match your vibe.
What sets it apart is the simplicity. You won’t find fancy presentations here, just solid tapas and a well-curated wine list that doesn’t break the bank. It’s the kind of place locals come back to when they want something reliable and comfortable. If you’re looking for a spot to unwind without the tourist crowds or inflated prices, Catie’s delivers exactly that.
