On Saturday night, I was playing a show with the Monochrome Set<\/a> at L’A\u00e9ronef<\/a> in Lille, and afterwards the band repaired to a wonderful\u00a0little bar a short walk away in the town centre.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Called Amul Solo, the bar is located at\u00a09 Rue des \u00a0Arts,\u00a059800 Lille, and comprises of a ground floor and bar – where bands play in the corner – and a small upstairs area.<\/p>\n

We arrived late so missed the band, but still had a great time listening to the DJs and watching some crazy projections. And drank a lot, natch.<\/p>\n

The beers were reasonably priced and the atmosphere was great, with both the staff and fellow drinkers (almost all locals) were super friendly.<\/p>\n

It turned out that it was the bar’s 17th birthday, so the owner was suitably ‘refreshed.’ \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The barmaid was great fun.<\/p>\n

I took a look online for reviews about the bar and thought this fabulously garbled<\/a> auto-translated one was worth quoting:<\/p>\n

It is often the exit at the end of the concerts at the aircraft door, so when I found the musicians who came to spectators in the false.
\nThis is often found themselves all toast when it feels a bit releases or too full of joy to expel; is it’s battery Panhandle between all districts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Facebook review<\/a>\u00a0perhaps summed it up better:<\/p>\n

The best bar in the world, with a soul, real people and real music.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s the two fellas I have to thank for tipping me off about Amul Solo. They’d attended the Monochrome Set gig earlier and recommended the bar. Thanks guys – good choice!<\/p>\n

They also said that nearby Golden Wave<\/a> club was a bit cheesy but good for an even later drink, but after downing oceans of Belgium\/French beer followed by a flotilla of Jager shots, I decided to stumble back to the hotel.<\/p>\n

If you’re ever in Lille, I thoroughly recommend this bar.<\/p>\n
