Hankering for an African safari but stuck in Lyon? Douala City Bar brings the thrill of the African rhythm right to your dancing shoes.

Opened in 2016, the nightlife venue boasts an enviable location in central Lyon. It’s a slice of Africa sandwiched between vinyl stores, vintage bookshops, and the mouth-watering aroma from the neighboring pizza joint.

The 1st arrondissement, where Douala City Bar resides, is the city’s epicenter for everything from historically-rich landmarks to hip, late-night nightclubs.

No need for teleportation devices, because as you step inside the Lyon club, you’re whisked away on an intoxicating journey to a tropical African paradise.

Wooden elements flirt with vibrant hues, creating an interior that pulsates with warmth and unfiltered joie de vivre. The place breathes with life, an intimate confluence of chatter, clinking glasses, and throbbing beats.

Craving a touch of luxury? Ascend the clandestine staircase to the VIP balcony, a nest of plush leather lounges and bottle service.

The DJ, perched high on his elevated platform, is the master puppeteer of this nightly ritual, pulling at the strings of hip-hop and Afrobeats to animate the dance floor.

As one might imagine, the Lyon club is a vibrant melting pot of international and African groovers, attracting a cosmopolitan clientele that pulsates to the rhythm of the night.

Douala City Bar isn’t just another nightspot; it’s a vibrant slice of Africa nestled in Lyon, serving rhythmic tales spun over hip-hop beats and Insta-worthy cocktails.
