J'adore ce lieu. On y va pour jouer au flechettes de temps en temps au sous sol !

J’ai passé une excellente soirée à l’Elephant and Castle ! L’ambiance est chaleureuse, typique d’un vrai pub britannique, avec une super sélection de bières pression et des cocktails bien réalisés. Mention spéciale au personnel : souriant, rapide et très sympa. La déco est top, entre tradition et modernité, et la musique met dans l’ambiance sans être trop forte. On y mange aussi très bien — le fish & chips était délicieux et bien servi. Une adresse incontournable à Lyon pour se détendre entre amis ou regarder un match dans une bonne atmosphère. J’y retournerai sans hésiter !
