Au roi de la bière

Au roi de la biere is a registered historic monument in the 8th arrondissement featuring a narrow brick and timber facade with three upper stories and an attic section above the street level. The building was structurally raised and modified during its early years while retaining its original character.

The brasserie was built in 1892 by architect Chausson and underwent significant structural raising in 1894 by Paul Marbeau for restaurateur Jacqueminot Graff. This early transformation shaped the building's appearance that remains visible today.

The central facade displays a statue of Gambrinus, while a stork adorns the chimney, both reflecting Alsatian building customs that you can see as you pass by.

The building sits on Rue Saint-Lazare within walking distance of Saint-Lazare station, offering convenient access by public transport. The location is easily reachable on foot for visitors exploring the neighborhood around it.

The building received official monument protection status in 1997, safeguarding its facade, roof elements, and three ground floor dining rooms. This designation preserved the Alsatian architectural details for future generations.
