The best music and entertainment bars Switzerland

It is the Bateau Genève, which belongs to the private association of the same name, recognised as being of public utility, whose aim is to welcome adults who are in personal or social difficulty. A place steeped in history (the first double-decker lounge boat on Lake Geneva and the scene of Empress Sissi's assassination), the Bateau Genève has a refreshment bar on board, where you can eat at noon and enjoy tapas, raclette or simply a drink from 5pm. It is very nice to come and share the Sunday brunch.

An emblematic place for this bar with a musical atmosphere. The stone walls breathe the imprint of time: in the walls of Geneva's former fortifications, in the 19th century the high ceilings housed a school chapel, and Slatkine Editions stored many books there. What an ideal setting to set up a music bar and promote new artistic talent! Sitting on the comfortable seating of the designer furniture, you can share copious tapas slates while happily sipping ingenious cocktails or local beer.

An emblematic bar! Le Chat Noir is a whole concept, a convivial place to enjoy a meal inspired by the flavors of the world, such as Mexican-style grilled shrimp or salt-crusted beef tataki. Here, a sense of rhythm blends perfectly with the concert hall, tasting with the restaurant and its cuisine of gustatory blends, and the bar club with a team of "mixologists" and Flair (spectacular bottle juggling) enthusiasts. The delicious Havana passionwon an award at the Havana Club competitions in Geneva.

A superb setting, in the heart of the park, with an atmosphere that quite simply makes Geneva unique in summer. What more could you ask for, sitting on a deckchair facing the lake after a swim? A bohemian cachet for this caravan. Visitors to the Science Museum can enjoy drinks and local delicacies during an aperitif break. In summer, there's nothing like dancing under the stars to Latin rhythms, or sipping a good beer with your bare feet tickled in the rich grass, on a deckchair with friends or with a good book!

In the heart of the Badischer Bahnhof, discover the Bar du Nord, the leading address for soccer fans. All matches are broadcast live on the big screen, whether in the bar, in the concert hall or on the terrace. Housed in the former buffet of the German railway station, the Bar du Nord offers a unique atmosphere where music lovers and soccer enthusiasts meet. The friendly Bar du Nord team promises an unforgettable evening. Enjoy a game of billiards or dance to the rhythm of the tango. Both rooms are available for private events.

The Kon-Tiki in the Niederdorf district gained a cult following in the 1970s thanks to its Hawaiian ambience, Maori prints and cocktails served in mask-shaped glasses. Threatened with closure, it was taken over in 2016 by customers who appreciated the cosmopolitan feel of the place and made a few improvements. The bar is now open during the day. You can grab a snack, buy and consume CBD, attend a jam night or stand up. It's a bar for adventurers and those who want to become adventurers.
