About the Vibe
Oxxo is Villeurbanne’s go-to spot for a smooth transition from lunch to late-night vibes. By day, it’s a relaxed restaurant serving solid house specials like charcuterie plates and fries; by night, it transforms into a lively pub with lounge beats, cocktails, and games like billiards and darts. The 300m² space and sunny wooden terrace make it a favorite for afterworks, group gatherings, or team-building events.

Your Go-To Pub-Restaurant in Villeurbanne
Oxxo strikes a rare balance between a neighborhood restaurant and a proper pub. During the day, you’ll find students and locals grabbing affordable lunches—think generous charcuterie plates or crispy fries that don’t skimp on portions. The real magic happens after 5 PM when the lights dim, the playlist shifts to deep lounge beats, and the terrace fills with people nursing cocktails from the happy hour menu. It’s not fancy, but it’s consistently fun and welcoming.
The space itself is impressive—300m² with a mix of bar seating, tables, and game zones. You can play a round of billiards or darts while waiting for your table, which adds a playful energy that’s hard to find in typical Lyon-area eateries. The terrace is a highlight in good weather: warm wooden surfaces, casual seating, and a view that feels more like a backyard party than a commercial bar.
