Would you recommend it?
yes, it's very modern, but a bit poorly made. the location could be better, it takes around 30 minutes to get to bellecour. and the fire alarm would go off almost everyday, just for cooking.

What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
i enjoyed going to kiss my erasmus events at cafe oz, for dancing and 2010s music i would recommend boston, i had fun at maison m. if you enjoy a good pint or a glass of wine, you can find that in vieux lyon. for chill after school/work drinks - broc'bar.
