Gamelle, the bar, mini-bowling and table soccer just a few steps from the Gare de Lyon

Notice to the amateurs of games and good food... Let's go to Gamelle, a bar in the 12th district of Paris, to discover a nice tapas menu to share with friends or colleagues, but also its two mini-bowling lanes and table soccer tables, for wild games between two small hungers(WARNING, it's not a bowling alley but a bar, as the house only offers two small lanes to occupy your evening). And during the summer, we take advantage of the beautiful terrace of the sign, to take the sun while you take the aperitif.

On the menu, tapas, with charcuterie boards (Fuet, grilled whole chorizo) and mixed charcuterie/cheese boards from Auvergne, but also sardine and tuna rillettes, Iberian chorizo rillettes, duck chichon, Basque or piquillo pâté or black olive tapenade... A good meal to share! You can also have a complete lunch or dinner with a tempting menu, offering good French cuisine, as well as dishes to share, if you are numerous.

And if not, always to share (but not necessarily, especially if you are greedy), hot dogs, a nice burrata or mozzarella, chicken Tenders, beef skewers with Cantal, Onion rings or French fries! The ideal way to get your strength back between two games of bowling or table soccer...

Because that's what the house is all about: its playful activities, which are freely available to the guests of the house. Players can try their hand at mini-bowling, petanque or table soccer, on the four tables of the store. And on the drink side, classic cocktails (mojito, spritz, cuba libre, moscow mule...), beers, aperitif digeos or wine are offered.

A nice address also for company privatizations, with the possibility of reserving spaces and consuming on the spot while enjoying the proposed activities. Note also that the house can offer large cocktail bowls (planteur, spritz...), for about thirty glasses, but also beer giraffes. Gamelle also offers the possibility to celebrate your birthday, with the availability of their fridge to keep your cake cool.

Are you a sports fan? It's a good thing, the house also offers sports broadcasts according to your desires and requests. World Cup, Women's Euro... You want to follow a match? If the craze is there, everything is possible. Note in any case that a mini-gradin is there to allow you to watch a match. In total, five screens can broadcast sporting events.
