1. Jazz Club des Cinq Rues
Hot both figuratively and literally (you'll probably end up stripping down to a T-shirt), this popular music bar near Plaza de l'Église packs in the après-ski party animals as soon as the sun is over the yardarm, which can be as early as 4 or 5 pm in December.
19 passage des Cinq Rues, Megève, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, 74120, France06–15–78–61–06 -
2. L'Officine
Part-DieuSet in Lyon's hip Hôtel Dieu complex, L'Officine's elegant decor, featuring leather banquettes, plush velvet chairs, wood paneling, and mood lighting, conveys a luxe private club atmosphere. It's the perfect backdrop for a menu of sublime cocktails made by Lyon's star mixologists. An ample selection of whiskeys, bourbons, gins, wines, and champagnes attract aficionados, and the outdoor terrace is a delight in warm weather. Small gourmet plates mean you can get there early and sample for dinner, a good idea at this popular address.

3. Le Fantôme de l'Opéra
A carefully staged scene of plush velvets, romantic lighting, vintage touches, and mood music on a phonograph create a delicious atmosphere, and that's even before you get to the drinks. Inventive ambrosias with expressive names like Monkey Shoulder or Sex on the Beach are concocted from house-made syrups and fresh juices, and change monthly according to what's in season. There's also an impressive list of spirits and wines as well as small plates of cheese and charcuterie to keep you going through the night.

4. Le Sucre
Atop the La Sucrière arts center, set in a refurbished 1930s sugar factory in the up-and-coming Confluence neighborhood, Le Sucre is Lyon's most happening bar-nightclub for the more artsy crowd. Here you'll find DJ sets, offbeat performances, and an eclectic series of art shows and dance events all centered on the cutting-edge music scene. All special performances, and prices, are listed online; some are free, or you can buy a ticket in advance online or at the door for €2 more. You can go to the bar as a walk-in.

5. Soda
One of more than half a dozen cocktail meccas near Lyon's City Hall and just across the rivers, this one is a standout for its laid-back lounge atmosphere and tantalizing menu of virtuosic cocktail concoctions. There are delicious small plates, too.

6. Barberousse

7. Black Forest Society
One of the pioneers of Lyon's cocktail bar explosion, this cozy Bavarian-theme hot spot, with a long bar and sidewalk tables, is a favorite among those in the know. Drinks are well made and well priced and there are plenty of mocktails and German beers, of course. Cheese and charcuterie boards stave off late-night hunger.

11. Hot Club
Presqu'îleLive jazz has been played in the stone basement of the Hot Club since 1948, so they are obviously getting it right.

12. L'Abreuvoir
If you'd rather avoid elbow-to-elbow crowds at the slope-side bars, head to Le Poste de Secours. Dispensing with the chalet-chic decor that's so popular in the region’s watering holes, it has a futuristic feel. In the purple haze, spherical lighting fixtures float like planets while clusters of podlike chairs sit low to the ground. This is the best place in town for classic cocktails, made by bartenders who know their stuff.
