Hold on to your sombreros because Lyon’s Barrio Club is the answer to your Latin fever prayers.
Since its 2013 launch, the music temple has been located in the eastern part of Lyon called Brotteaux. Somehow connected to the center but not part of it, the neighborhood is a foodie’s dream with upmarket eateries, specialty shops, and fuss-free bistros.
Interestingly, Barrio Club beckons the unsuspecting with its bold banner adorning the facade of a former train station.
Crossing the threshold feels like stepping into the pages of a Gabriel García Márquez novel, minus the magical realism but with a dash of real magic. Raw brick pillars rise to meet the ceiling, an urban forest sheltering a gleaming modern bar, and an assortment of revelers, each swaying to a beat of their own.
Velvet-coated VIP lounges promise a touch of glamor, while a well-lit dance floor awaits the twirl of your salsa dress.
Like the irresistible strumming of a Spanish guitar, Barrio Club counts on salsa, bachata, and Latin beats to set the mood.
The DJ, stationed on an elevated platform, orchestrates the pulsating rhythm that moves every hip, foot, and hand in the room. And it’s not just the music that’s Latin, but the club’s clientele too. Here, you’ll find a vibrant mix of Lyon’s locals and Latinos, all bound by their love for Latin beats.
Strap on those dancing shoes, work up an appetite for delicious cocktails, and prepare to mambo the night away. At Barrio Club, it’s always a ‘Fiesta Fantastica!’
