Moxy Bar

24/7 snacks and drinks when the terminals at LYS go dark

Moxy Bar at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport sits inside the Moxy hotel right by Terminals 1 and 2, and the bar runs 24/7, including late nights and early mornings. It’s technically hotel reception plus bar in one space, so you can walk down from your room at 03:00 and still get something to eat or drink. Price-wise, think mid-range airport hotel: a basic hot dish or snack plus a drink easily hits €15–€20.

The food is simple international bar fare: things like burgers, toasties, pizzas and packaged snacks, not a full three-course restaurant. Reviews on Marriott mention that “bar and snacks available 24/7” saved them after very late arrivals, but the same reviewers note the menu feels limited. Expect basic hot items and grab‑and‑go rather than anything resembling downtown Lyon bistros.

Drinks run from standard beer and wine to basic cocktails, with hotel-bar pricing in the €6–€12 range depending on what you order. Guests call out that it’s “convenient when you don’t want to go back into the terminal,” especially after flights landing around 22:00–23:30 when most LYS landside outlets are already shut. If you just need a cold beer and chips before bed, it does the job.

What regulars do: they land late into LYS, walk straight to the Moxy, grab one quick drink and a snack at the bar, then head to their room rather than trying to piece together food from vending machines. Many repeat guests mention using it as a backup option after arrivals before 06:00 or after 22:00, not as their main dinner plan on nights with more time.

Watch out for: portions and quality get called “okay but pricey,” with several guests saying the cost is high for what’s essentially frozen-then-heated bar food. If you care about eating well and you arrive before 21:00, eat in central Lyon or in the main terminal restaurants first; keep Moxy Bar as your insurance policy for odd-hour arrivals.
