In the spirit of extortion
Hey baby, can I buy you a drink?
Lyon’s local lotharios no doubt scratch that line from their tired repertoire when trying for a Saturday night catch at Comptoir de la Bourse, the bar au courant among the city’s thirty-something style set. At least, they don’t dare use it without adding a post scripted caveat eliminating cognac from the menu. How else to ensure some vengeful vixen won’t coolly demand the Luxery Luxery [sic], a sour cocktail made with a scant 10cl of vintage Hennessy and charged at the frightening price of €280? Over-the-top tipple aside, the Comptoir’s slinky bar and luxe maroon banquettes capture perfectly that moodily chic vibe. So, too, the clientele: a mix of sleekly dressed singles on the prowl and post-dinner groups dropping in for chilled-out nightcaps. Luxery Luxery not included.
