In Lille, Shelby Bar fully embraces the modern speakeasy concept: the entrance is discovered through a vintage telephone at 15 rue Sainte-Anne, steps from Lille-Flandres. Once you find the passage, you enter an intimate room devoted to signature cocktails and quiet evenings.
A hidden entrance that is part of the experience
The fun starts before the first drink: you must spot the device that provides access to the bar. Inside, dim lighting, elegant furniture and music create an atmosphere designed for a date, after-work drinks or an evening with friends rather than a large club night.
House cocktails and workshops
The menu combines alcoholic creations and alcohol-free cocktails, with recipes using infusions, liqueurs, bitters and aromatic pairings. Shelby also offers mixology workshops and cigar introductions by reservation.
Good to know before you visit
Shelby Bar is at 15 rue Sainte-Anne in Lille. It opens in the evening several days a week and accepts table bookings. As opening times, the menu and workshops may change, check 2026 information before visiting. Alcohol abuse is dangerous to health; consume in moderation.
