The best bars and cafés Geneva

Almost at the edge of the lake, the house is divided into two arcades, one of which takes care of the house, the other to relax us thanks to its café-restaurant. It is a colourful atmosphere where you are served, in Maghreb pottery, very copious tajines and couscous. The scents of saffron, ras el-anout and orange blossom sharpen your taste buds as soon as you enter the restaurant. As for coffee, it is the chicha that invites itself to be shared in a convivial atmosphere. Don't forget to taste the famous mint tea. An address full of exoticism.

Go to London or any other part of England to relive the unique British pub atmosphere in Switzerland's largest pub. A large space that extends to the basement with a stage for weekend concerts. Always a lot of entertainment in this place of meeting privileged by the international community. Convivial and cheerful, the atmosphere does not disappoint the Anglo-Saxon good mood. Large choice of beers and giant screens for the championship games. There's nothing like watching a game together over a pint!

A beautiful setting on a corner of Pâquis, extended in summer by a large terrace. The play of light on the sophisticated decor makes this a cosy place to meet friends for a drink, a meal or a Sunday brunch. A little bohemian, a little brocante, a little "like home", but with a much higher noise level - in other words, very noisy. Try the Japanese-style beef tartare and miso salmon. It's a union of Western and Japanese flavors perfected by chef Hitoki, with interesting results.

It seems that the range of whisky is impressive, more than 700 kinds... A connoisseur's bar for lovers of the malted drink. Moreover, the BDN will propose you to taste its own whisky! You will feel at ease in this very graphic and vintage decoration which gives its tone to this sure value of the Carouge nights. All in cream and black, we feel that there is a fan of the sixties behind the choice of tables and chairs worthy of collection. A lot of taste in the decoration, not too expensive drinks, a pleasant music.

It's an old neighborhood bar where you can eat a free booze while watching a football game. The place is frequented by a very mixed population and the drinks are really not expensive. In summer, the terrace, located at the crossroads of rue Jean-Violette and rue Prévost-Martin, allows you to observe the life of the neighbourhood. Octopus lovers will find their happiness here, but rest assured: it does not come from the lake! The place is known by the Genevans as a very nice address for Iberian bistro cuisine.

Mythical. One of the oldest pubs in the city where you come for its large choice of beers - about twenty -, and its opening days. It can indeed be difficult to find a bar in the old town that is open on Monday evenings until 2am. Even complaints from the neighbourhood about the noise caused by the comings and goings of King Ubu have not been able to dethrone this institution. You will love the decoration of the place, mixing the wood of the furniture with the warmth of whitewashed walls, its seventies rock music, but also its friendly atmosphere.

Here's a place where everything's in place to entertain you and have a good time. In the middle of winter, when you're feeling a bit blue, you'll want to rush to this café-bar-restaurant, and in summer, with its small terrace, the atmosphere lasts well into the night. The colors of the walls and paintings are superb, as are the warm welcome from the staff, the sunny music and the drinks.... You can discover art exhibitions here, or come for the concerts. It's always a young and friendly atmosphere, worth any therapy!

The Irish pub par excellence, with a hundred beers and the equivalent in whisky, the flat screen for the games… We think it looks like a manche! Warm atmosphere on weekends and especially at St. Patrick's!

Cafe Gavroche is not like other cafes. Here, we debate on various subjects around a dish or coffee. Under the guidance of a couple of friendly and welcoming owners, the establishment clearly displays its credo: another world is possible. A world to be reinvented through discussions but above all a world of sharing. You can sit down with friends to discuss your life and the atmosphere of a philosophical bistro takes on its full meaning: film screenings, concerts, debates and other cultural activities.

Opposite the banking district, this warm-weather spot is a veritable paradise along the river. This huge terrace near the Place de Saint-Gervais, with its multicolored deckchairs, attracts a varied clientele: bankers at aperitif time, girlfriends getting together or lovers on their first date. It's a place where people like to see and be seen, which is made particularly easy by the arrangement of low tables and seats along the long steps of the Quai Turrettini, the city's first tiered quay.

An internet café named Charly in the middle of the Pâquis, in the rue de Fribourg, which is full of good addresses. Video and DVD in English in a spacious but warm setting. Two rooms with PC and colour laser photocopiers. A 6 min bonus is offered for every 5 CHF spent. Many services at your disposal such as CD burning, document binding, laser photocopying and even courses possible. And for those who like to play network games, everything has been provided for.

Association for residents of the eponymous neighborhood. We sip a drink and talk about life in the neighborhood. More than just a refreshment bar, it's a place to exchange ideas. As far as you're concerned, this association is unfailingly dynamic, taking over the Parc des Cropettes every summer, organizing concerts, cultural picnics, storytelling, performances, dance parties and contemplative listening moments with podcast bars. It's a great place to be, with a great atmosphere. The rallying cry? Let's be positive!

Very convenient location, between Uni Bastions and Uni Mail, when you don't have a computer on hand. Twenty computers equipped with the now indispensable webcam. In case of exhaustion and extreme pallor behind the screen, against thirst and hunger, snacks are there to sustain us. 5 CHF per hour and minimum 30 minutes at 3 CHF. Black and white printing is 20 centimes, 2 CHF for a scan, 1 CHF for colour printing. Western Union mailings and phone cards.
