Les Dix Fûts
AFTERWORK ET CRAFT BEERS
It’s without hesitation that we recommend you stop off at this bar with terrace in the centre of town, on Rue de Bourgogne.
With its cosy industrial style and tasteful combination of wood and iron, it has a very warm atmosphere.
Les Dix Fûts doesn’t make it easy, with ten craft beers on draught (hence the name!) and a selection of bottled beers. White, blonde, red or brown beers, lager, IPA, pale ale, stout, pils or brown ale… the choice is tough! But that’s without counting on the staff, who are passionate about helping you discover the different flavours and aromas of these craft beers. Every week, there are at least one or two new beers from independent brewers.
Satisfy your munchies with platters of charcuterie and/or mature cheeses prepared by the team!
Good to know, Les Dix Fûts likes to share. They organise Tap Take Over evenings, inviting a craft brewery to take control of the beer taps.
