Le Sucre

Le Sucre is a rooftop club and live-music venue on top of La Sucriere, a former sugar warehouse at 50 Quai Rambaud in the Confluence district, in the 2nd arrondissement of Lyon, France. The roof offers views over the Saone and the point where it meets the Rhone, making it one of the city's most distinctive club settings. The crowd is mainly young adults and clubbers in their twenties and thirties, along with electronic music fans who follow the lineup, and the atmosphere moves from relaxed terrace chat early in the evening to a packed dance floor later. Dress is fashionable casual, and while no strict code is reported, door staff at club venues commonly refuse very sloppy attire or visibly intoxicated guests. Music centres on electronic styles, with house, techno and related genres in DJ sets, and the venue also programmes concerts and special events, so the sound varies by night; the schedule is published on le-sucre.eu. Club and concert nights usually run from Thursday to Saturday, with the main activity after about 11PM and finishing in the early hours. The drinks programme includes beer, spirits, mixers and cocktails, with typical club pricing, where a cocktail often costs roughly €10-14 (about $11.20-15.70). Entry is ticketed per event, with cover usually around €10-25 (about $11.20-28), and buying online in advance is the recommended route because popular nights can sell out and online tickets can be cheaper than the door. Table reservations and bottle service may be available for groups through the venue, which should be asked about in advance. The Confluence area is served by tram and has good transport links, and the surrounding museum and waterfront district is quiet at night, so many guests arrive by tram or taxi.
