"Cold dishes" Bars in Bern
The first American bar in Switzerland is the bar in the Bellevue Palace - and has been since 1913. This is where Bern meets the world's celebrities and national politicians, and now guests travel through the cocktail history of the 20th century. The bar menu lists iconic and modern cocktails that can be enjoyed in a suitably elegant ambience.
The competent bar team ensures that the people of Bern also regularly try out the new cocktails, with surprising but accessible original creations. Classics, local beer and bubbles are of course also served in this ambitious bar. The music is special: primarily rap and hip-hop.
It's easy to lose track of time in this iconic bar - and not just because it's located in the basement of the Kornhauskeller. From its own creations and surprising cocktails to classic long drinks, every guest gets their money's worth at the "Chornhuuschübu", as the bar is known in Bern.
The Kreissaal is legendary: children used to be born here, but today cocktails are served. The knowledgeable team mixes powerful, cheeky and fresh flavours according to the guests' wishes. Those who can't make up their minds are given expert advice and the drink created afterwards usually suits the mood of the visitors perfectly.
The office workers from Wankdorfcity sit down for an aperitif at Turbo Lama. The terrace is beautiful, you can hear the big fountain bubbling and treat yourself to a cocktail based on mezcal or tequila. Of course, the professionally proud team also thinks of everyone else and serves classics, spritz and long drinks.
The cosy garden with koi pond, summer bar and shady restaurant is unbeatable. Guests also head for the bar in winter; with the bar the centrepiece of the room, decorated with large plants and served by a friendly team. The menu includes creative signature drinks and classics.
In addition to politicians and business people, families and tourists meet in the lounge of the luxury Hotel Schweizerhof. The motivated bar team can fulfil practically any request, and mixing is always part of the background noise here. Cigar lovers meet in the back room for an after-dinner drink.
