[FR] La brasserie fut inaugurée le 1er avril 1895. En 1964, elle est transformée en self-service au gré d'un changement de propriétaire3, mais les lieux sont protégés contre toute dégradation par le classement aux Monuments historiques. Menacée d'être abandonnée durant les années 1970, elle retrouve sa destination de brasserie en 1982.
