About
Brasserie Georges, founded in 1836, stands as Lyon’s oldest brasserie and one of the largest in Europe. Nestled in the 2nd arrondissement, the historic venue has never closed its doors, welcoming over 700 guests per service and serving its own traditional beer brewed on‐site. Visitors are drawn to its grand interior—supported by four majestic 25‑foot beams—and its storied past, having hosted literary icons, politicians, and artists for nearly two centuries.
