Best nightclubs German-Speaking Switzerland

The Mehrspur is a trendy address in Zurich. Part music bar, part jazz club, part discotheque, part public stage and concert hall, it's a breeding ground for students from Zurich's University of the Arts. But that's not all. ALL styles and new talents are represented. The program ranges from intimate live performances to spectacular shows by international artists. At the bar, the menu features tasty cocktails and a selection of beers and wines. Good to know: admission is free - you give what you want.

Take in the spectacular view over Basel's skyline from the 105 m-high Bar Rouge (which you can also enjoy from the toilet!). A trendy lounge atmosphere, with spacious leather sofas and an extensive cocktail menu. For an early evening, it's the ideal place to enjoy a drink or a snack. Later, night owls will enjoy dancing here. The Bar Rouge is especially popular with the young party crowd, where DJ nights and wild nights set the pace for Basel nights all year round! A little closer to the stars!

The Bird's Eye is a must for all jazz fans! This club has a very good reputation, not only in Basel, but in a very wide area around the city, and even beyond its borders. Housed in an old vaulted cellar dating from the Middle Ages, the venue boasts excellent acoustics, and you can enjoy the atmosphere over a drink. During the week, small jazz groups perform here, with Thursdays reserved for more unusual styles. At weekends, it's the place to go to hear the biggest names on the international jazz scene.

The Borderline (formerly the Stahlwerk club) is THE place to be for electro sounds in the Sankt Johann district. Switzerland's best underground club, it offers a diversified program and doesn't hesitate to program emerging styles while remaining true to its original spirit. The experience is incredible! With several spaces, a breathtaking sound system and a brilliant staff, this is the place to dance for tech house fans. Open every weekend, it's best to visit the site to get an idea of the program. Sensations guaranteed!

Looking for Zurich's hippest club? Head for the Zukunft, nicknamed the "Zukki" by its customers. This establishment has rightly proclaimed itself the home of good music! Before entering the club, be prepared to queue. Zukunft has a good reputation and is very busy. Inside, in a crowded room, you can dance to the sound of Afro tech, deep house, Indian music, jazz... All kinds of music are in the spotlight. Good to know: admission to the club is free every Thursday. The program is on the website.

A well-known hangout for Bernese locals with a consistently attractive program. On site, you'll find a rather atypical complex with a restaurant on the one hand, but it's also and above all a club where people dance until the wee hours of the morning. Fridays are concert days all year round, and the Bernese love to come and enjoy themselves in this all-round venue. The program is rich and varied, so you'll never get tired of going to the Kapitel. Of course, you can also enjoy a hamburger during the day and/or chill out with an aperitif.

Stylish interior with light games and corner canap once passed the red door where photos of previous evenings are displayed: This is what awaits you at the Obsession Club. The programming is mainly focused on R'n'B, hip-hop, house and charts. Young and connected public.

On the ground floor of the Plaza Hotel, this dancing offers a varied programme all week long. Chic and trendy, the repertoire is rather disco for those nostalgic for the 1980 s. Dance also on pop and R'n. Sneakers forbidden and good presentation required!
