About the Vibe
King Arthur brings a proper slice of England to the heart of Bellecour, serving up craft beers imported from Bedford and a lively atmosphere that feels authentically British. You'll find happy hour pints from €5 every day from 4-8pm, plus weekly jam nights and pub quizzes that draw a mix of locals and expats. It's not the most "French" experience in Lyon, but if you're craving a pint of real ale and don't mind the crowds, this is your go-to spot.

Solid English pub with great beer and lively atmosphere
King Arthur is your reliable English pub escape in Lyon, located right in the bustling Bellecour area. The atmosphere is consistently lively, especially during happy hour when you can grab a pint for just €5. The staff are friendly and the venue really knows how to cater to sports fans with big screens showing rugby and other matches. It's not fancy, but it's got that authentic pub feel you won't find elsewhere in Lyon, and the weekly jam nights add a nice local touch.
What sets it apart is the commitment to quality beer imported directly from England, plus events that keep regulars coming back. The Wednesday pub quiz is a local favorite, and if you're into live music, Friday nights bring in talented local bands. It's a solid choice for a casual night out, though you should expect it to get crowded—especially on weekends.
