The verdict

Elevation 1904 is one of the busiest bars on avenue Michel-Croz, opposite the station. With more than 1,600 Google reviews at 4.4, it holds its own against the best-known pubs in the centre.

On site

A bar and brasserie with wooden tables under the awning, serving drinks and food. The awning looks onto the avenue and the station, hence the crowd in the late afternoon.

Our advice

It is the easy meeting point if you arrive by train or come down from Montenvers, whose station is next door. For a sit-down meal, check the day's menu on site.
