The cocktail bar of La Machine, Place Saint-Géry
La Machine opened in 2016 on Place Saint-Géry, a short walk from the Bourse. The sign says “Est. 1886”: that belongs to the setting, not to our age.

History
The setting is steampunk: a steam organ, cogs, machines, a winged creature on the ceiling, a smoking room with Chesterfield armchairs downstairs and a raised stage on the ground floor.
