Our take
A menu that never stops changing, a speakeasy inspiration it fully owns and a terrace on the square.
A speakeasy-inspired cocktail bar on place de la Source de l'Hôpital in Vichy, with a cocktail menu that never stops changing.
A cocktail bar on place de la Source de l'Hôpital, right in the centre of Vichy. The bar lays claim to a New York speakeasy inspiration and a cocktail menu that is always on the move: you come for a late-afternoon drink as much as for the last one of the evening. Terrace on the square.
Closed on Mondays. Tuesday to Saturday, it opens in the afternoon and closes at midnight (Tuesday, Wednesday) or at 01:00 (Thursday to Saturday). On Sundays, the bar closes at 19:00.
Why we love it
- A cocktail menu that never stops changing
