bohemian and intellectual vibe.

Le Verre à Monique
This classy, art deco-inspired cocktail lounge near Plainpalais
is cherished by locals who love the clandestine, weirdly authentic

Little Barrel
An intimate, dimly lit cocktail bar that’s a hot favourite with
affluent cocktail snobs as well as a younger, hipper crowd. The bar
