La Capsule

Great little beer bar. Had 28 taps, I think 24 were on. Great selection, really helpful barman with good English as my french is awful. Nice to see a decent number of french beers on considering the proliferation of belgian stuff around.

I stopped on as this was the highest rated place on Ratebeer in Lille. It is a very good beer place, especially for the tourist. The service is great, but when I went my pig French was better than their pig English. They had 28 taps working with lots of French, Dutch and UK micros. Lots more cans and bottles. From an American perspective, every thing is really small, but this place can absorb a bit of a crowd. Great place in an old neighborhood.

Located in the nice district of Lille-Vieux. Make sure to be there few minutes prior the opening, since many people come after the opening and the small bar is quite crowded within few minutes even on working days. Staff is friendly and speaks English well. 20 beers on tap are offered, mostly Belgian and French. Also huge selection of bottled beers. Prices are reasonable. Snacks are offered. Must go when visiting Lille.

Globalement un lieu qui a un peu perdu son âme, pour répondre à la tendance. On y trouve un grand choix de bières qu'on ne trouve pas partout, mais la déco manque de personnalité.

Très bel endroit avec une déco totalement dans l'air du temps, c'est propre. Vaste sélection de bières (une bonne vingtaine de becs) dont les styles sont bien précisés. Bonne idée que la présence de petits symboles qui aident à décrire leurs caractéristiques. Bons conseils également. Chouette bar !
